loot crate.

Are you a looter? 
I subscribed to the awesomeness of Loot Crate in November...and I am in love.

If you're not familiar, Loot Crate is a monthly gear and swag club for us geeks. Each month, Loot Crate handpicks 6-8 new items to include in the box, which are kept secret until the boxes are delivered!  The wait is brutal...but worth it.  And the good news?  It's affordable!!

The box can't be missed in the mail.  Plus, opening it is like a geeky Christmas once a month.  I jump up and down and squee over everything inside.  The mister usually gives an all-knowing grin as his thirty-something year old wife bounces in excitement.  It really is quite shameful...and probably the main reason that I have yet to upload an unboxing video like other Looters.  Seriously.  Go to YouTube and search for "Loot Crate Unboxing".  They're everywhere!



Every month, they will tease you by announcing the theme of that month's box.  This month is "Warriors" and will feature EXCLUSIVE Bravest Warriors items along with other epic gear...and a t-shirt!  My February box ships in 2 days and I am dying to know what's inside! 
Go sign up today!

five senses friday #8.

Five Senses Friday is were I reflect on the last week through the senses.  Here is my week in review.  Enjoy!

Tasting::

You may get tired of the coffee references.  My apologies, but coffee is the life source to this kid.  It will forever be enjoyed...especially in a geeky mug.  I have a geeky coffee mug obsession.  
Definitely looking forward to all the tasting I will be doing on Thursday!  Wooo!  Bring on the fat pants!

Feeling::

Accomplished after the Color Run.  Excited about a possible trip to Trader Joe's tomorrow.  Anticipation to get home today and see if my very first Loot Crate has arrived yet.  Ugh!  It's killing me, people!

 Also, feeling super awesome driving the mister's new truck!  Rawr!!! 

Seeing::

Super awesome photos from the Color Run website...of yours truly!!!  Apparently, the photographer was my friend.  :) 

Hearing::

Everyone talking about going to see Catching Fire last night, and I didn't go! Waahh!  I will have to convince the mister that we need to brave the crowds!

Smelling::

 

Kid you not, I can already smell the scents of Thanksgiving.  Yummy food.  The smell of my Granny's house.  The cool, fall air.  Mmmm......

five senses friday #7.

Five Senses Friday is were I reflect on the last week through the senses.  My week has been pretty calm, for the most part.  It seemed like it took FOREVER for today to finally arrive.  Still, there was plenty of action.  So, here we go!

Tasting::

The mister's AMAZING smothered pork chops and homemade bread.  He's the best! Chips and salsa on date night last night.  That man knows what I like.

Feeling:: 

Ready to find our new home and get moved in.  Excited about the houses we've seen (and we still have one more tonight).  Cold mornings of 20-30 degree weather while taking Jax outside.

  

The results of my last Color Run.

Beyond pumped to be headed to my second Color Run in Dallas on Saturday with my mom and a couple of friends.  Anticipation of my very first Loot Crate that will be shipped next week!  I can't wait!!!

Seeing:: 

A few gorgeous houses that I could be happy living in for the rest of my life. Dog hair.  Everywhere.  The movie "Road House" for the first time...at the request of the mister.  Of course, you can't go wrong with a little Swayze.  Am I right!?

Hearing::

 

The awesome voice of my friend, Rita Fulmer, as she sang and I played the cajon at her mom's wedding.  She is amazing.  I recently sang backgrounds and played drums on her latest album.  I play/sing with that girl every chance I get.

Smelling::

A nice-smelling man when I came home last night...all dressed for a surprise date night.  Yum!  Mexican food for dinner.  Apple Spice & Delight Febreze to combat the "Jax" smell.

five senses friday #4.

Five Senses Friday is were I reflect on the last week through the senses.  As usual, Fridays make me a happy girl.  The coffee in my hand helps.  TONS! 

Tasting::

Coffee on a cool morning.  Oh, coffee.  I love you.  In case you forgot, last week I was out of coffee!!  Never fear...the universe is aligned once again!  Carry on.

Feeling::

My handsome mister.

Super awesome loves for my mister.  He takes such good care of me.  I love that man!
Also, excitement for next weekend!  My little sis is coming to stay with me so we can hit up the Trades Days on Saturday!  Oooooh!!!!

Super crazy anticipation for my Loot Crate subscription that I just signed up for.  How am I supposed to be able to wait a whole month until it gets here!?!??

Seeing::

Jax sporting his burnt orange in support for our Longhorns.  

Gladly accepting donations of MORE! :)

The beginnings of my new set up of "co-workers" on my desk.  Also, the mister and I watched World War Z.  Super awesome, if you ask me.  I was all bundled up with the worried face no more than 4 minutes in.  Yesss!

Hearing::

 

He was so excited & wiggly, this was all I could get.

All of the girls at the vet "ooh" and "ahh" over Mr. Jax when I took him to get his shots.  He was such a good boy and they all wanted his puppy kisses.   

And what's this I hear about Nick Saban house-hunting in Austin!?  Don't toy with my emotions....

Smelling::

 

My favorite.  The combination of a clean house, a fall breeze and a Scentsy or two.
