Favorite Things

• Scandal - I said I was getting around to gushing, so here it is.  This show is my new favorite thing in the world.  It's fast-paced, smart, unpredictable, includes a central storyline with the White House and president, and has a great cast!  I've found like minded people online to share in my fangirl squeeing about the show.  And I've tried my darndest to get everyone I know in real life to watch it.  I don't think I've ever pushed a show on people like I have Scandal.  Thursdays, 9pm, ABC - WATCH IT!!

• Honey Stinger Acai Pomegranate energy gels!!  Seriously, these things are delicious.  And very easy to gobble down while running.  Most gels taste and feel like gel.  Honey Stinger has it figured out because the consistency wasn't very gelatinous so it made it easy to swallow.  I didn't feel like I need a whole bottle of water to get through the packet.  And flavor was great!  I will definitely be packing some of these for Disney World!

• Spotify - It's about the music.  You can download and play any song on demand.  And the radio version for the iPhone is fantastic.  I'm still debating whether or not to go the subscription route so I can do music on demand while running.  Maybe I'll give it try during my next training cycle. I've been finding lots of great music - Josh Abbott Band, Randy Rogers Band, Easton Corbin, Kip Moore.  Me and Brinkley have been jamming out quite a bit lately!

• The West Wing - While enjoying my new obsession Scandal, I really wanted to get more of a White House fix so I started watching Christmas episodes of TWW.  I love how every time I watch an episode, I find something new about it to love and laugh out loud in my own content, happy little world.  This time around, CJ and Danny have me laughing the most.  Gosh, that show makes so damn happy.  Instant pick me up!

• Sleep - I actually had the chance to sleep-in today.  And I will get to again tomorrow.  Sleep is fabulous.  No obnoxious alarm (other than Milo) to wake me up.  I think I sleep better through the night if I know I don't have to get up a specific time.  Sleep...sounds fantastic.  I think I'll get ready for bed now!
