A Little Bit of Rain: The Friday Five

The Friday Five

Borrowing Christina's genius Friday Five idea again today! :)

1. What I'm Reading

Insurgent, Book 2 in the Divergent Trilogy. My BFF bought the book, read it, and then held me at gunpoint until I ordered it myself. I was 34 on the waiting list at the library for the Kindle version, but noooooo, I had to read it NOW she said. So I paid $7.98 to have it auto-delivered to my Kindle. Three days later, I get an email from the library saying the book is mine. And yes, Jess, I am absolutely throwing you under the bus for all of the Internet to see. That's what besties do. You're welcome :)

2. What I'm Eating

The beeb in my belly has been craving salt all week, so I scraped up the last of my change with the intention of buying Fritos from the vending machine. Yes, I am the epitome of health. But alas, no Fritos to be found. So I settled on Pop Chips because I had heard (also from Christina's blog) that they were good. Lo and behold - that ish was amazing!! The perfect amount of salt and crunch, and only 100 calories. Win!

3. What I'm Listening To

Reminds me of my hubs. 20 more days. 20 more days.

4. What I'm Laughing At

The Friday Five

Today I'm following in the footsteps of one of my favorite bloggers of all time, the beautiful Christina over at Hungry Meets Healthy. Her food blog is a daily read of mine, and has been on my reading list since I first started blogging. Her "Friday Five" posts have me laughing and salivating every Friday morning, so I thought I'd join in on the fun.

The Friday Five - 10.5.12

1. What I'm reading:

I just finished reading Divergent, the first in what will be a trilogy. Think of it as the Hunger Games meets G.I. Jane. I read the whole thing in an embarrassing 3 days (my priorities are fine, thanks for asking).

2. What I'm listening to:
Can I just rant for one second??? This may make me sound like an old bird, but popular music today is just terrible. (I picture saying this in a granny voice). But seriously.... I turned on the "major" music station in Columbus yesterday, and heard a tune called "Blow my whistle baby." Are you serious??? I cringe at the fact that 12-year old girls are probably singing along to this garbage. There is only one radio station in our city worth it's salt, and when it's on commercials, I want to cry. It's either CD 102.5 or NPR, and Emerson is not nearly as entertained by the news as the music. She'll learn.

/Rant over.

This is the song rolling through my head this morning (fast forward to :59):

3. What I'm Eating:
I've been obsessing over the Starbucks Bacon Egg Gouda sandwich lately, so twice this week I've treated myself to one of those plus a pumpkin spice latte. $8 later, my wallet is lighter but my belly is happy! I will try not to think about the fact that I could have had a Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast for the same price, plus tip.
