Need, Want, LOVE List

So I am going to start a new post... which I will repeat once a week or when every the heck I feel like it. :) So my "Need, Want, LOVE List" includes my current obsessions because god knows I am obsessed with random things all the fricken time, which leads to purchases, and projects and ideas, empty bank accounts and sometimes random crap. Don't send me out to pick up a birthday present for a friend in the middle of one of these days because I will come home with the works, then decide what I will give and what I will keep. Selfish I know! In my mind that is thoughtful because I am giving myself many different options for a gift from the comfort of my living room floor filled with bags of purchases. OK off my soap box... my "Need, Want, LOVE List" today... :)

1) Pumpkin Coffee ~ Holy Heck! There is nothing, NOTHING that screams fall to me more than my Pumpkin Spice coffee. It is hard to get an espresso with the good Pumpkin Spice sauce this time of year but I am motivated to have it right now! So what do I do... go in search of my own! Totally recommend this one if you are a fan of the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. I put a couple drips of this sauce in my home brewed coffee and ta' da'! No 400 calorie, $4.65 cent coffee. But oh does it scream, "Put a scarf on and drink me!" To my next obsession...

2) Scarfs ~ Yes, yes it is 90 degrees out today but do you think if I wear this, mother nature might get the point? So I dressed my fall scarf with a t-shirt and sandals and totally sported the scarf in the blistering heat. Ya baby!

3) Baby Room Update ~ Ha! Sometimes when I write, I seem to catch myself laughing out loud, is that normal? Get the transition... "Ya baby"?! (still laughing). So Kelti is 8 1/2 months old and I believe time for a "small" revamp of the nursery to make it more infant worthy than newborn. The 0-6 months cloths have been sadly put away and the big girl toys are filling the shelves. First new purchase for the nursery is a new Rug! The nice white fuzzy rug is no longer appropriate since Kelti started crawling. She thinks it's the neatest thing to pull it apart and try and eat it.... bad idea! New art is also needed. Right now she has photos of her as a newborn but no recent pictures, a must add! Ready, set.... lets go SHOPPING!

 

4) Shrimp ~ Holy YUM! I was and always have been a carnivore. Give me a big slab of medium rare steak and I was happy! Blach! Since pregnancy, I have not looked at meat the same, hormone changes I am sure. So I am a HUGE fan of seafood lately. Example... my husband took me out to dinner just the other night to a very nice local place. Early on in the day I had decided to myself that I was going to indulge in shrimp, lots and lots of shrimp. So we sit down order a couple beers and take a glance at the menu, already knowing in my head what I wanted to order. Low and behold, no shrimp on the menu! After a few, "No honey I will find something else" and a few "there is nothing that I want lets just go home" my hubby picked up the bill for our beers and we headed off to.... RED LOBSTER! He knew there would be no way I would be disappointed (he is so smart). Funny part... it was "Shrimp Fest" week! HA!

5) Organization ~ I need some of this in my life! Ready, set, GO! Wait.. not that easy??! OK, new found goal for the upcoming month.. organize my schedule, my finances, my house, and my nutrition. Oh! And more snuggle time. :)  Upcoming post on the progress of all of this I am sure!

Happy Friday All!!
