Old School Blogging: A Few of My Favorite Things #OSBlog
It’s another month and another Old School Blogging with Elaine! This month we take a look at a few of my favorite things…
Sit down restaurant – I love Tupelo Honey. Love, love, love. Well before they became kind of a chain (you can find them outside of Asheville now. I used to love Carrabba’s, but they’ve changed their menu. The portions are smaller, the prices are higher and I didn’t get garlic mashed potatoes with my chicken last time (I only got spinach.) Not that I’m upset (I am.)
Cookie – Chocolate chip and macadamia nut.
Bath product scent – Grapefruit. I’m weird.
T.V. shows – Old shows: Friends, Gilmore Girls, Dawson’s Creek. Currently: Mindy Project, New Girl, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, The Voice.
Flower/plant – Tulips are my fave.
Bad-for-me snack – ice cream. I loveeeee ice cream (and Moose Tracks is at the top of my favorite ice cream flavors.)
Magazines – I love HGTV Magazine, Real Simple, Women’s Health. I also receive Weight Watchers magazine.
Hobby (besides blogging) – Scrapbooking, sewing, painting ceramics.
Holiday – Christmas (and Thanksgiving is super close behind, if not my favorite. I love the thankful part and the fact that we don’t have to stress over gift-giving.)
Girls Night Out activity – Chick flicks and drinks!
Date night – On one of our more recent date nights, we ended up at Home Depot AND Lowes. We’re wild, right? We actually do dinner and a movie when we have a date night. We’re long overdue for date night…
So what are a few of your favorite things??
so fun!! copying!
HA HA HA on the Lowes thing. I could totally see my husband and I doing that. Oh I forgot ice cream on my bad for me snack lol.
Nope. Not weird. I like grapefruit and citrusy smells, too. Yum! So fresh and clean smelling!
Home Depot and Lowe’s without kids? Yep, sound dreamy!
You had me at sewing. I am still learning, but I love it and have a lot of fun with it.
I never really watched Gilmore Girls when it was originally on but my daughter has been watching it on Netflix and I’m really liking it! I’m with you on the ice cream too!
I didn’t even know Grey’s Anatomy was still on. I quit watching after the plane crash. I was too sad.
These posts are just making me want cookies. 😉
Love your list. I adore Tulips also.
A Tupelo Honey Café just came to my town and I’ve been thinking about going there. I’ve heard it was good, and it’s still not a very big chain!
I am also a huge fan of chocolate chip cookies, but has to be homemade! YUM! Date night is also one of my favorite things!! It’s great to take a break and go out without the kids every once in awhile!
I love this post. I love getting to know the person behind the blog. It’s so much fun. FYI, citrus is an awesome scent, and it’s totally not weird.
I love these posts. It’s always fun to learn more about the people we read all about! What is moose tracks? I’ve never heard of this.!
One… I hate it when restaurants change things up, and not for the better. Two… we also have date night at Lowe’s and Home Depot! Too funny!! Living on the wild side, eh?!
I loved Tupelo Honey! There’s a restaurant on this side of the state that is my absolute favorite, called Chef and the Farmer.
Home Depot is a regular stop for us too! What is Moose Tracks?
I love The Voice and I love cookies. My husband and I have gone to Lowe’s while out on a date. It just happened to be next to the restaurant.
I love this concept. A few of my favorite things: cuddling with my daughter, reading a great novel, really good dark chocolate and a fabulous (rare) facial at the spa.
I can see grapefruit. It’s a wake me up scent. LOL
Our date nights usually end at Target getting something we need for the kids. 🙂
Me and you actually have a lot in common! i love magazines, scrapbooking and no you are not weird for liking grapefruit scent I love it!
Tulips are so pretty. They totally make me smile knowing that spring is right around the corner!
I love tupelo too! I just had lunch there yesterday. I’d be upset about the garlic mashed potatoes too! Seriously!
Girls night out! I haven’t done that since I moved here, and I miss my friends, lolol!! I don’t like when fave menu items get changed either, we had that happen recently here at a different chain.
Tulips are my favorite also. I totally relate to the Home Depot date night. Hubby and I often end up there ourselves. It’s a fun place to plan out future home renovation dreams together.
I like your list of favorite things. Nice to get to know you more
Chocolate chip and macadamia nut are my favorite cookies! I have been getting into sewing more again. I am happy that I finally have a space to do it.
We’ve been talking about Dawson’s Creek recently! I miss that show
This is such a fun post. I miss Dawson’s Creek and all those other great series from that decade!
Moose Tracks, yum! I love ice cream though it’s starting to not love me. Dawson’s Creek was great!
I haven’t been to Carrabba’s in a LONG time…it’s terrible that you didn’t get your potatoes! I’d be upset too. Had to laugh about getting wild with both Lowe’s AND Home Depot. I wouldn’t be surprised if that kind of date was in our near future.
Yum.. Chocolate chip cookies.. I mean aren’t they amazing.. fresh baked.. shut the front door.. Love these types of posts..
You aren’t weird, I love grapefruit smell, too. Thanks for sharing this. It really is fun to read. It is fall so I love all things pumpkin!
Chocolate chip are the very best kind of cookie!!!!
My hubby and I often go shopping alone as a date. We do also go on movie and restaurant dates. Shebert is my favorite ice cream.
Sounds like a fun assortment, well Lemons are my most favorite thing along with the ocean. Date night at Lowes I can see that happening too.
