Hmmmmmm ...

I looked out our bedroom windows this morning only to find this ...


... gracefully gliding along the Hudson, gearing up for her grand entrance to the New York harbor.

As I took one glance at the snow still blanketing the ground below, I thought, "Welp ... that would be fun!"

Hmmmmmm ... maybe one day.

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Hi! :-)

It's time for another edition of WILW, thanks to sweet Jamie!


I'm LOVING my sweet husband!  Normally, we don't exchange gifts on Valentine's Day, but he surprised me with the perfume I've been lusting over for quite some time now!  It smells just fabulous!

I'm LOVING that I have been blessed with the most generous in-laws!  They are so good to us.  A couple days before Valentine's Day I came home to a package with this Dooney & Bourke purse inside:


"Holy cow," I exclaimed!  I fell in love immediately!
All material things aside, they really do have hearts of gold.  I really hope they know just how much we truly appreciate what they've done for us!

I'm LOVING that it's supposed to be 60 degrees here on Friday!  Normally, I'm a colder weather kinda gal.  But, after what we've gone through this winter, I can't help but be slightly excited for some warmth.  I know Tootsie will appreciate it, too!

I'm LOVING my new dental curing light! 

From eBay
For all you non-dental peeps out there: We use this to "cure" (harden) the "composite" (white filling) when we drill out a cavity.  Perhaps you have seen your dentist use it??  I know ... you're shuddering at the mere thought of a drill in your mouth, but just remember: It's all to make you feel better. :-)

I'm LOVING my workouts with my hubby!  They keep my mind sane and my muscles intact!

I'm LOVING that my parents had a fantastic time on their cruise last week!  I'm so glad they get to spend this time of their lives traveling to a variety of destinations.  They certainly deserve it!

I'm LOVING that Derek finally finished his bazillion page paper, which is a requirement for graduation.  He worked on it for almost a year and just turned it in a couple days ago.  His professor loved it!  Now, he's another step closer to getting his J.D.!  Hallelujah!

Finally, I'm absolutely LOVING my hubby and puppy!!!


Happy Wednesday!  :-)
