Now, I'm wondering if Doc has been around Hank for too long?

Pretty horse
We (mostly I) always joke that our Hank dog has been around the horses too much. Not only does he trot (seriously!) he also likes to steal horse food every now and then, although Hanky Poo has plenty of dog food.
Now, I'm wondering if Doc has been around Hank for too long?

SaturDate
I usually like to do a weekend wrap-up post for the entire weekend, but this week, I'll focus just on Saturday. Especially since we basically climbed into bed once we got home on Friday and then just spent Sunday cleaning house and doing laundry.
Anyhow, I had a few $ off certificates that I had received for my birthday month from Penneys and VS. These were the good certificates where it's just like $15 off a $15 purchase so you can theoretically get something for free, so I hated to see them go to waste.
Life has been so busy lately, that I told J earlier in the week we were having a date day on Saturday, so I called it our SaturDate. Yes, I am a dork.
Anyhow, once we got moving, we stopped at TJ Maxx and I bought a new shirt. No picture, of course.
Then we went out to Olive Garden. I have been CRAVING their soup, salad and breadsticks. I love their salad so much I can eat an entire big bowl all by myself! Sweet J isn't really an Olive Garden fan (in fact, he asked me to make spaghetti last night because he prefers mine) but went because he knows how I love it.
I never knew OG sold their dressing, which I love! After J asked, I just had to buy it --- even though the bottle cost $4.95! I will be using this for VERY special occasions!
After stuffing myself with chicken and gnocchi and salad, we headed to the mall. There, I actually had two certificates, so I was a sweetie (haha!) and let J use one of them. He ended up with new socks - which actually helps me not have to wash so often. Ha!
I ended up buying a new pair of capri-length sweats. They are the Soffee brand and very comfortable! I am hoping they provide some running inspiration, as I plan to run in my first 5K in about six weeks.
I also had a Bath & Body Works coupon, so I picked up a small bottle of the Carried Away lotion. My skin can sometimes be sensitive to fragrances and I get bored easily, so I love getting these small bottles for next to nothing and having lots to choose from?
At VS, I fell in love with this Cards shirt. It was only $15 after my coupon and I've somehow lost my short-sleeved team shirt, so I consider it a must-have!
We also bought some new work shoes for J and lipstick for myself while at the mall :)
After we left, we planned to go home, but I decided we should stop by Big Lots. J wasn't too excited about it but still went (bless him!) and actually ended up finding quite a few things. I think too often we are pressed for time and don't browse through the entire store, but we purchased several things for killer prices. We spent about $70, but I'd say the total worth was about double that. One of the best purchases were the interlocking blocks - we got 16 square feet for 12 bucks, which is the best deal we've found! They are going in our basement workout room, under the weight bench.
That night, J decided to meet up with some friends at Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the fight, but I stayed home. I ended up taking a long bubble bath in our garden tub and then having a The Good Wife marathon so I could delete some of the episodes off the DVR. It was a great weekend and I can't wait for another SaturDate!

McD's fail
A few of my Facebook friends posted a link to this New York Times blog today.
Basically, it discusses the lack of nutrition in McD's new oatmeal. I know that oatmeal can be a super-healthy food, so it's very upsetting to me. Apparently, I'm not the only one who was deceived by the fast food giant's new "bowl full of wholesome" offering.
I quote from the article: "Incredibly, the McDonald's product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonalds cheeseburger of Egg McMuffin."
Seriously? Wow.
What are your thoughts on this?

What I'm Loving
{1} I'm LOVING that it's Wednesday. Although I love long weekends, they totally get me off of my game, so I'm glad to see the four-day weeks come to an end.
{2} I'm LOVING that I'm almost over the nasty cold/sinus infection I have. It's really bad when you can't tell the difference between being hungover and sick ...
(I realize I'm talked about drinking two posts in a row now, but I promise I'm not that bad!)
{3} Being sick, I'm LOVING these caplets. My salvation.
{5} I'm LOVING that we finished our big project this weekend. Expect a full post later this week :)
{6} I'm LOVING that my pantry, fridge and deep freeze are all stuffed. We have a lot to be thankful for.
{7} I'm LOVING that I got to catch up with a friend I haven't seen in awhile last weekend.
{8} Lastly, I'm LOVING this sweet man --- who was very excited he won back his buy-in at Texas Hold 'Em last week.

margarita day
Apparently, today is National Margarita Day. (You can read more about it here)
As if I need an excuse to drink.
Bottoms up :) These are my favorite holidays!
Bad blogger
AHHHH!
Guys, I am SO BEHIND on blogging.
I've only opened up my reader twice since Thursday and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've had SO MUCH going on these past few days — including a head cold over the weekend — so as much as I'll try to get caught up today, I'm not making any promises.

What I'm Loving
There are *so* many things I'm loving this week! I blame it on the sunshine.
So ...
{1} I'm LOVING the spring-like weather! When I heard the weather man say it may hit 60 today, I decided to pull out the sandals. Since I hate wearing socks, this is huge for me.
{2} I'm LOVING that I have a fun afternoon planned. My dad goes to a farm show for a few days every year, so my mom is meeting me for lunch at a local burger joint and then we're getting pedis and doing some shopping/browsing.
{3} I'm LOVING that I finally got my taxes filed today! Once I get the actual money, J and I are going to pay off a BIG purchase and also get another loan about halfway paid off, which makes me very excited. I.Hate.Debt.
{4} I'm LOVING all the cards lining our entryway table.
{5} I'm LOVING the sweet Valentine's gift J got me --- a Tervis tumbler. He said he thought it was something I'd like but never ask for --- very true! I've seen these in Blogland and thought they were neat, but that was it. Well, I LOVE it and think I'm actually drinking more water during the day having it. It's always more fun to drink out of something pretty :) The cup was also filled with V-Day candy.
{6} I'm LOVING that my sweet boss is working for me on Saturday!
{7} I'm LOVING that we made a lot of progress on our latest project this weekend. I should have pictures next week. But here's one of our lovely supervisor...
{8} I'm LOVING my new blog design :)
{9} I'm LOVING having Crock-Pot meals and lots of leftovers
{10} I'm LOVING that Survivor kicks off tonight, and that there is a new Criminal Minds show. Two CM in one night? Yes, please!
{11} I'm LOVING that I have a winery trip planned for tomorrow.
{12} I'm LOVING all my IRL and bloggie friends who make me smile.
{13} I'm LOVING this sweet man, even though he frustrates me sometimes.
What are y'all loving today?
