My Favorite Things

February 19, 2014 by Katie

If you live in the Atlanta or Chicago are, I need you to do something for me…

Run this race:

I just discovered this “Bacon Chase” 5k/.5k last night and think it’s the best thing ever. It was basically made for Matt and my brother-in-law because they have unhealthy obsessions with bacon. You get unlimited bacon when you finish,  bacon bits as you run, a free bloody mary, and a fancy t-shirt.

Anywho, it’s March 22nd in Atlanta and June 7th in Chicago. I think it’s hilarious. You should do it.

Speaking of awesome…

A Few of My Favorite Things

Drunk Dinner: Tequila Lime Shrimp Tacos. Those are four of my favorite words. (I won’t reveal which is my favorite.) I don’t really like fish tacos because they confuse me, but I’ve had some authentic shrimp tacos, and holy moly, those are delightful. This baby’s going on the meal planning sheet.

Random: Jousting peeps. I was pretty confused when I saw this picture, but I think the idea is absolutely hilarious. I mean, the season of peeps is coming up…just saying…

Mindset: Celebrate everything. Celebrations make life so much more exciting (which is why I covered our apartment in streamers for Matt’s birthday). I love the idea of celebrating…okay maybe not everything…but more things. I don’t want to get too carried away—just enough.

Technique: Cutting a watermelon. Where the bloody hell has this been all my life? I love the watermelon, but cutting it complicates my life. Might need to try this technique.

Adorable Animals: I’ve never wanted a pet pig before, but the more I look at this picture, the more I’m convinced I need one.

Healthy/Unhealthy Dish: Caramel Apple Nachos. I’ve seen desserts like this before, and the idea intrigues me. If someone brought this to a party/gathering, I’d be all over it. Correction: if anyone made this within a 1 mile radius, I’d be all over it. *cough*Mattpleasemakethisforme*cough

    Great post, exceptionally enthusiastic!
    Especially the ‘celebrate everything’ mindset. I find myself going into loops every time I think of this, but it is just so great to celebrate the fact that you have an occasion to celebrate!
    The bacon chase goes along just great with that photo of cute piglets, and the tequila lime shrimp tacos – well that sounds like something I just have to try on my own.
    Thanks for posting, I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
