FRIDAY FAVORITES

Utah Bloggers Ice-Cream Social: Saturday, 4 o'clock @ Farr's by the University mall. Email me with any questions!!!

Ever have those days where you just think, 'man, I am an awesome wife?' Tonight was one of those.

I made minestrone soup (the kind that you just add water) and cornbread (the kind that you just add water) and had dinner ready for BIlly when we walked in the door.

If you can't tell I am already sucking up to him just in time for my birthday in two weeks. Birthdays are kind of a big deal to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Coming from the crazy alliteration woman (even though Three Tangent Tuesday doesn't really count as an alliteration), I have a new one for you. Feel free to do it on your blog.

Just want to share with you some of my favorite things. FRIDAY FAVORITES:)

Not only is Oprah's favorite things my favorite episode of the year, but Friday Favorites is going to help me be a little more thankful for the things in my life that make me incredibly happy!

1. My self-tanner. I know I talk about it a lot but it really is one of my favorite things because it allows people to see me in the winter rather than me just blending into the snow.

2. Twitter.....um, it has been 37 hours since I started. Obsessed. My phone battery is almost dead and that never happens. I think I get addicted to things a little to easy. P.S. Those weights have been sitting in that exact spot for the last 32 days, don't be deceived.....

3. Billy, is a running machine. Um, everyday this week. Who is he? Nothing is hotter than a man that just came back from a run.

4. Delicious food. You knew I was going to say that.......before you know it, I will be able to eat candy again:)

What are your FRIDAY FAVORITES!!! Tell me all of them por favor!!!

Do you get addicted easily to facebook, twitter, blogging, a tv show???

-I think I need help, it is taking over my life.

My friday favorites are the fact that it is Indulgence Friday on my bloggity blog, cookie dough in a bowl for breakfast (yes its a real recipe!) And the fact that I am about to go run:)
At January 28, 2011 at 5:38 AM , Meg O @watchmegorun said...: i'm addicted to all social networks I've tried so far, which makes me hesitant to add twitter onto that.

some of my friday favorites: running an 8 miler on the mill this afternoon for the first time, extra snuggle time with my pup, IBC root beer, and sleeping in tomorrow.

At January 28, 2011 at 6:06 AM , Betsy said...: I think I am addicted to your blog!! You are so funny and creative and you post at least once a day. It's GReat!
I love oatmeal with peanut butter. Have it every morning.
As for twitter....I haven't gotten a Droid or Blackberry or I phone yet because I am afraid I will get too addicted to it! So no twitter for me.
How do you use that self tanner. How often do you apply it? I need to get some for our beach trip in a couple of months but I don't want one that looks 'orange' when you put it on.....know what I mean??
Let me know :)
Have a great day
At January 28, 2011 at 6:13 AM , Anonymous said...: i get addicted to things in spurts. so maybe that doesn't count as addiction but i'll be obsessed with blogging, fb, anything for like a week and check it constantly and then go for a week not thinking about it.
At January 28, 2011 at 6:16 AM , Geneviève said...: "Nothing is hotter than a man that just came back from a run." - 100% agree!! :D
At January 28, 2011 at 6:27 AM , Sue G. said...: Friday Favorites are: Bud, a paycheck, and a free ebook for my Nook.
At January 28, 2011 at 6:27 AM , Maria said...: My Friday favorite is the fact that it's Friday! And that I'll be eating fro yo and seeing one of my best friends tonight!
At January 28, 2011 at 6:31 AM , Caitlin said...: Ahh I love twitter! Perfect outlet for any thoughts! I get addicted to things easily too...like certain foods...if I like it I'll eat it until I'm sick of it. Anddd the same with a song, I'll listen to it on repeat for a while then move on hahaha Tv shows I like to get obsessed with too...What can I say I have an obsessive personality hahah
At January 28, 2011 at 6:36 AM , Sheanna said...: Thank goodness you showed your self tanner...I was wondering what you used because it seems like a good shade for you...And I'm a ghost right now and I could use some color before summer.

I'm an odd bird. I get addicted to facebook, get freaked out that I'm letting people know my personal business and then go on a two month hiatus from it. Then people get all angry with me because they think I've been ignoring them. But really, to me, a lot of what happens in my life is private (my marriage, my kids, my job) and I don't want it all cheapened and subjected to scrutiny...Because that's what a lot of people do. They scrutinize your life. I'm not down for that. I would NOT make a good famous person.
At January 28, 2011 at 6:46 AM , Maia said...: My husband would die if he knew I wrote this, but yesterday I came home to my husband running in only his running boxers on our treadmill (it gets really hot in the room our treadmill is in)- and I must admit, I thought it was really hot!!
Yes, I have an addictive personality- I'm so glad though, that blogging has replaced facebook for me :)
Friday favs: coke, brownies and a party with my co-workers tonight!
At January 28, 2011 at 6:49 AM , Anonymous said...: I think I am more addicted to Facebook. I just don't want to tweet every boring detail of my life, and I don't really want to hear from a lot of other people who do that. Yours are funny though because you are not a boring person. Maybe we should not enable your addiction though? I do love reading celebrity tweeting though. Well, mostly just Urijah Faber. He enables my tweet stalking heehee.

I wish I lived in Utah so I could meet everyone for ice cream. :(

Billy looks like a super hero in that pose. Super running man to the rescue!
At January 28, 2011 at 6:53 AM , Matt @ The Athlete's Plate said...: Friday favorites?

MY NEW DSLR I BOUGHT TODAY :)
At January 28, 2011 at 6:58 AM , Kim (Book Worm Runs) said...: I am loving my Dunkin Donuts hot tea this morning and the manicure I plan on getting during lunch today! ;) Happy Friday!
At January 28, 2011 at 7:00 AM , HowdyFromNYC said...: Ahhh thanks for the self-tanner reco! I've been using Clinique but I smell like I live in a tanning salon. :(

Friday Fav Today: Heading to Pennsylvania for some Queenly duties
At January 28, 2011 at 7:07 AM , Blue said...: FF: Early out school day so I can play with my cute kids. I get lonely home alone all day!

Can you plan a SLC ice cream party too?!?!?! Pretty please! <3
At January 28, 2011 at 7:10 AM , Anna P said...: I NEED to go get Twitter figured out! It took me like 4,000 years to get Facebook figured out so I may be in Depends before Twitter and I can fist bump.
Favorite things, hmmm....hubby, my 5 awesome kiddos, God (obviously), homeschooling, cakecookiesicecreambrownies, running (again, obviously), and my bike =) Cant wait to get 'er going again when the weather nice'ens up! =)
At January 28, 2011 at 7:23 AM , Anonymous said...: I LOVE twitter!!! It is so addictive! I also love all Clinique products, they are my absolute favorite!! :) Happy Friday!!
At January 28, 2011 at 7:26 AM , Katie @ Healthy Heddleston said...: Hey Janae! I know most Clinique products are fragrance free (I use their products since I'm allergic).. but I was just curious if that self tanner is fragrance free too??

At January 28, 2011 at 7:35 AM , Anonymous said...: I'm addicted to reading your blog posts! I used to be addicted to texting too, but my 16 year old sister is so much worse - she sent 10,000 texts one month. I also think I'm quickly becoming addicted to spinning.

At January 28, 2011 at 8:10 AM , Dorry said...: I love Clinique products! And pretty much any episode of Oprah, but the favorite gifts episode it the best. Blogging, reading blogs and Twitter are definitely part of my everyday...sometimes Billy has to ground me from my laptop/iPhone. :)
I hope you are having a FABULOUS FRIDAY my beautiful friend!
At January 28, 2011 at 8:16 AM , Unknown said...: My Friday favorites? First of all, TODAY is my favorite because it is my birthday. Yessirreee, it is. I did a ride on the bike trainer, my husband made me HOMEMADE Eggs Benedict (OMG...so good), and now we're off to stomp thru snow in Boston. Friday favorites, indeed.

At January 28, 2011 at 8:23 AM , Emily said...: I am addicted to my addictive personality. It leads me to all the best things in life: running, racing, blogging, eating all of chocolate and peanut butter in DC, watching a 10 season long FRIENDS marathon with my friends. I see nothing wrong with this.

Friday favorites: the book I'm reading. It's destroying my real life one page at a time.

the bag full of my run gear that will come out to play for a lunchtime break from work.

my spinning class this morning. I used your 15-30-45-60 second pyramid and smiled at the sweet sound of panting that filled the room.
At January 28, 2011 at 8:23 AM , Gracie said...: You are so funny. I inform my husband that I'm an awesome wife basically every day.
This week:
"Well, work was insane and I'm exhausted. But I still made you this gourmet feast for dinner,did two loads of laundry, and bought the coffee you bring to work. Good thing I'm such an awesome wife."
Not that I fish for compliments or anything.

You are seriously way too cute in all of your pictures.
I have become really good at making sandwiches and food that I only have to preheat the oven and pop it in. It's hard to cook for one person, so I have mastered a grilled cheese! : )
HAPPY FRIDAY!!

At January 28, 2011 at 8:42 AM , Heather said...: Yes, I get addicted to things very easily, but sometimes it gets old quickly for me too. Depends what it is!

At January 28, 2011 at 8:43 AM , Unknown said...: Wow! Billy is doing awesome with his running. Look how you've rubbed off on him!

One of my favorite things right now is this 'Runner's Round Table' podcast on iTunes. I just started listening. The one I have on right now is about running and eating disorders as well as exercise addiction. It's very interesting.

Happy Friday pretty lady!

My hubby and I just got new phones for Christmas and now I can be on facebook 24/7 and that's not a good thing. :-) I am SCARED of twitter because I think if I was on it, I would never see my family and friends again. Except if they tweeted me.

friday favs right now...date nights, having lunch with friends, and sugar cookies. Not necessarily in that order.
At January 28, 2011 at 10:30 AM , Anonymous said...: I kept thinking that Billy looked a bit familiar and I just figured it out...he looks kinda like Penn Bagley in some of his photos! He should see if he can body double when Penn needs a break from the cameras!

Yes, obsession can be ugly for me. Especially now that I am into twitter - my new obsession!
At January 28, 2011 at 10:34 AM , Anonymous said...: Friday favorites? Well, not getting to hang out with you is certainly not a favorite, especially for your ice-cream get together. We'll just have to make up for that...

Pizza. Movies. Dessert. Oh wait, those are basically my favorite favorites.
