What I'm Loving Wednesday

Linking up with Jamie

I'm loving ...

... that the Cyclones are undefeated going into conference play.

I wish I didn't have to wait two weeks for my next Iowa State football fix.

But hopefully it just means more time for them to prepare.

And Steele to learn how to not throw interceptions.

... the fall-like temperatures that are hanging around this week.

Highs in the lower 70s.  Lows in the 40s.

Great weather for running and for snuggling on the couch.

It's all about balance, folks.

... Anna Kendrick.

My girl crush on her started with "Up In the Air."

Then I watched "What To Expect When You're Expecting" over the weekend.

(It wasn't a very good movie, but I liked her.)

I can't wait to see her in "Pitch Perfect."

Yep, I adore her.

... that I'm one step closer to my new novel being available for purchase.

My cover was completed on Sunday, and I was able to upload it all to my self-publishing site.

My proof is in the mail as I write this, and if everything looks OK it'll be on Amazon in a few weeks.

You can "like" my author page on facebook if you want updates.

... the wreath I made over the weekend.

Related post is here

It took me three hours and cost about $20 (including $10 for a glue gun/sticks).

And it was so worth the time and money.

I'm pretty impressed with myself whenever I look at it.

... the progress I've made with running.

I'm learning how to bust through my mental blocks (and there are lots of them).

I'm challenging my body and listening to it at the same time.

I never ever regret hitting the trail.

... the new Mary Kay Lash Primer.

 I got to try it a few weeks ago, and I was very impressed.

It definitely enhanced my lashes.

I will be ordering it very soon.

\\\\////

... reading before bed.

I forgot how relaxing it is, and how it gets me ready for sleep.

Now, I won't say it's not tempting to read "one more chapter" and stay up later than I should.

But, really, it's a good motivation to unplug and climb into bed a little earlier.
