Things I Bought that I Love and Places I Love to Go

It doesn’t take much to make me happy.  I am a pretty simple girl, I think, and Devin knows what gets excitement out of me.  Hmm…

Anyway!  I had been a prisoner to a migraine that chained me to the bed all day on Tuesday.  It was miserable.  I despise Migraines and if they are Eve’s fault, she better sleep with one eye open in heaven.

When Devin got home, he suggested we do 2 of my favorite things in the world. 

Favorite Thing #1 slash thing I [ahem Devin] bought that I love:  Swirll Frozen Yogurt.

 

I didn’t even have time to get a picture of our yogurt covered in everything glorious that could be mixed in…we ate it way too fast.  Why do I love Swirll so much?  The yogurt is fat free and has very very little sugar in it.  It is delicious!  I got plain (it has a sour taste to it that I am drawn to) and Devin got cake batter.  The toppings are endless…fresh fruit, granola, cheesecake bites, almonds, fruity pebbles!, gummy worms, Butterfinger, Twix, marshmallows, sunflower seeds!  A million potential combinations.  I got my usual- fresh fruit (usually kiwi because I don’t get to eat it often-mostly because I buy it and it goes bad way too quickly), granola, almonds…and then I got some Butterfinger because I am a girl and I wanted it and I don’t need to justify that!  Devin got…I haven’t a clue, but it must have been good since he hoovered it.

Swirll: priced by the weight. Only in Texas. God bless you, Texas.

Places I go that I love:

Half-Priced Books…or any bookstore

Half-Priced Books is next door to Swirll.  A deadly combination.  I love to buy books…absolutely love it…but I hate to pay full price for them.  Not because I am a tightwad or don’t support a massive chain bookstore, but because without a doubt, I can find that book you’re looking for, for cheaper.  It’s like a game.  So, I love Half-Priced Books.  [Side note: I don’t sell my books to them because they don’t give you jack for them.  See the Book mooch link on the left: it’s gold.]  So, we wandered around HPB for a while, petting some dogs (what?!) and flipping through some pages.  We found some DVD’s we wanted for $3.00 each (hello!) and then…I found this…it was a miracle and I never ever thought I would see it…

I found my husband reading. 

Someone alert the friggin’ media!  Hell has frozen over!  Ok, so it was a cycling book, but it counts.  It has words and sentences and pages and minimal pictures.  It. counts.  I was so proud…but, my head was killing me, so I wasn’t really in the normal bookstore wandering, coffee drinking, I could live here if you’d let me mode.

Moving on to more things We/I have bought that I love…

I don’t even need to say any words.  Just look at these pictures and feel your muscles relax as you stare at me in my haven.

Worst picture ever?  Yes.  Best purchase ever?  Yes.

Y’all, for the last 4 nights, I have slept like a cute, chubby, 3 month old baby.  It has been the most amazing 4 nights of my life and this is why:

1.  I no longer wake up to what I believe is Devin wrestling someone in his sleep.

2. I am no longer launched almost off of the bed by Devin’s movement

3. I no longer suffer from elbows/fists to the eye/face/head/stomach/arm/leg

4. I no longer yearn for sleep around 8pm…because I am getting more than 2 hours of sleep at night!

5. I no longer wake up to what I think is Devin dancing the rumba, and while I’m on this, I’d like to know who the girl is he’s dancing with!

6. I am no longer startled/shocked by the weight of a cyclist’s leg thrown upon my body that I first think is possibly the tree outside our apartment that has fallen in.

This bed is from God.
