~July Favorites~
I’m stealing this idea from my sister’s blog: www.einthepink.com
I am gigantically preggy, due in just 8 days (but praying little man decides to emancipate himself from his snug watery quarters NOW). I’m hot. I’m crampy. I’m uncomfortable. And definitely ready to have this baby.
Anyhoose – here is my quicky for this week:
On this lovely summer day, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of my July Favorites to end the week!
Flower:
My all-time favorites are stargazer lilies. A) their scent is just divine – sweet and feminine. LOVE IT! B) hello – they’re PINK!
Band/Song:
Most of my musical selections in he car now involve kid’s channels for my almost 2-year old, but when I get a few minutes to myself I’ve been blasting Edwin McCain’s greatest hits & Cowboy Mouth. I’ve also been cranking up the volume for Hey, Soul Sister – my current happy song, California Gurls (don’t know why I like that one), and Your Love is My Drug. The last 2 may not be awesomely deep songs, but they make me happy, so who cares?
Movie:
I have not seen a lot of movies this summer – hell, I haven’t seen a lot of movies since my son was born! But the hubby and I went to see Toy Story 3 on our adult weekend away in June and I loved it! I love the first two as well, but this one was cute and fun, and it gave me the satisfying ending I needed.
Beverage:
Since I can’t drink right now, I don’t have any froufy drinks to name, but sweet tea is a year-round southern staple. It tastes even better when it’s a jillion degrees outside! And Chic-Fil-A lemonade – one word: YUM.
Book:
I have made time for some pleasure reading lately, and I’ve gone through a few good ones. Rebel Debutante by Anna Fields, Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger, I See You Everywhere by Julia Glass and My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares.
Scent:
I have not been wearing or smelling perfumes lately, a lot of scents I just can’t handle right now. But I love the smell of my son’s Johnson & Johnson lavender bubble bath that we use religiously. I love the way he smells after a bath just before bedtime.

Indulgence:
hmm…..summer indulgences have changed drastically since having children, but I still make time for a monthly pedicure. It’s been a treat to myself every month for the past 8 years. I gotta say it’s a definite fave – especially right now. Having your feet and legs rubbed and feeling the cool tingle of the peppermint lotion before a perfect application of bright polish is so lovely!

Nail Polish Color:
It’s a retired OPI color, but I tracked down a few bottles online after our nail salon ran out – “Strawberry Fields”. It’s bright, hot pink with some shimmer. I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement shade, and I think Orly’s “Oh Cabana Boy” is as close as I can get!

Food:
May be cliche, but being 9 months pregnant in the middle of July, ice cream is an obsession. Frozen yogurt, milkshakes, ice cream – whatever. Add some M&M’s to it and I’m deliriously happy.

Dessert:
Well…I guess see above. Ice cream in combo with the heat is really a perfect fit!!
