Currently LOVING...

... JEOPARDY!  Ben and I faithfully watch this show every night.  We love it and feel like the smartest people in the world when we can get 3 or 4 in a row right.  I am pretty sure if we could go on this show as a team we would kick everyone's trash.  Except for Dan Richards because he is really good at trivia.

...Running to these songs.  This country girl has to admit that while running I am a total rocker.  Fast beat, loud ipod.  Something has to keep these feet moving!  Seriously as I was writing this blog I was inspired to do a second run for the day.  They are  magic.
Me First and The Gimme Gimmes - Desperado
All American Rejects - Don't Leave Me
Atreyu - Doomsday {explicit}
Atreyu - Falling Down
Panic! At the Disco - The Only Difference
Kevin Roudolf - Let it Rock

...The fact that Ben loves tuna fish almost as much as I do.  Bahaha.... that was my sneaky plan all along!  A happy life filled with tuna fish sandwhiches. He even requested it for lunch on his day OFF! Everyone knows on days off work you can have anything you want for lunch!

...My new running shoes! Just look at these beauties. They're so ugly they're awesome, right?? I got 2 new pairs to add to my running rotation in effort to preserve the running shoe longevity, improve my form and hopefully {eventually} get me into a more natural, cushion-less, shoe.

...Anything and everything covered in chocolate and peanut butter {no surprise}. This morning {yes, I said morning} I invented a new treat. I took a frozen chocolate covered cinnamon bear and dipped it in crunchy peanut butter! Sooooo good!!  I say, take everything you love and mash it all together. Seriously, is something wrong with me?

...My new save-the-environment water bottle.  These are the best water bottles known to man. I already have one very similar, and overused, so it was love at first sight when I saw this as Ben, Emily and I were perusing the outlets. I wasn't sure I should be sporting a huge Adidas sign since I am usually a faithful Nike girl. But, Emily and I decided that I am a soccer players wife so I should really get with the program and start accessorizing in Adidas.  Let me tell you why it's awesome. a) It has a straw that pops up that is really a STRAW.  Long gone are the days when you have to tilt your head back to get water out of your bottle.  Long gone are the days when you almost eat it on a treadmill trying to do the above action without interrupting a perfectly good run.  b) Everyone knows you drink more when you have a straw, so this bottle promotes all day healthy water drinking.  c) I am told aluminum water bottles save the planet.  Whatever you do, don't tell anyone I fill mine with bottled water...
 

...This guy.  Although I am feeling fairly certain that it's more than just a "current" love.  This is sealed in the books baby!
... The fact that I am going home in 1 day and I will be able to eat all the Taco Amigo, Cafe Rio, Rumbi, Bajio and Chick-fil-A that my little heart desires!!  "Amber where did you choose to go to dinner the night before you got married?" "Um, obviously Taco Amigo. One soft flour taco please."  Yum and Yum!  {oh, and super excited to see some of my favorite people in this entire world too! :)} 

What are you loving?  I can't be the only one with a crazy list of obsessions...

Ha ha, dan started telling me about this post and before he got to the part where you say you can beat anyone but dan I was already thinking, "yeah I bet dan can beat them". Ha! Did you know back in college he tried out for the show? Missed it by "one question" they said. Still not sure if that's true or just an easy let down line but it makes a good story.

Oh and P.S. I. Love that you put bottled water in your reusable bottle. Take that all you in your face oregon tree huggers!
