Seems like I haven't written about my 4 favs for some time now (visit the past 4 Favs here http://blog.paigemcdaniel.org/2013/01/4-favorite-things-i-love-right-now-part.html), but of course it is not because I don't have any favs -- quite the contrary.
Anyway, let's get right to the good stuff...
- My Trainer, Carrie Holland -- Thanks to my friend Joanna Clarke, I realized many years ago that I would not make myself work out unless I paid someone to come over to my house and make me "just do it". Carrie is the best. She arrives bright and early twice a week and puts me through my paces. We started back up around Christmas after a long hiatus (due to my self-imposed frugality) and I can already tell the difference in my clothing -- I didn't have to release the waistband of that pair of too-tight pants until 4 pm the other day! Carrie is beautiful, smart and a great therapist too -- I love and appreciate her so much.
- Rubber Band Bracelets -- These made the list because Carrie said they are the hit with the elementary crowd. I bought them from some cute girls who had a lemonade stand over the weekend (my mom and I always stop and buy from every kid we see), but since I already had a City Cafe Teamonade Shlushie, I bought $4 worth of bracelets. I'm giving them out for the Easter season, so stop by while they last and one can be yours. Carrie told me you can buy a kit to make them at Learning Express if you want to set up a stand this week. Let me know where you set up, I'll come by...
- Chimes Original Ginger Chews -- these were introduced to me by my friend Jill Bee. Have you ever been in a meeting and started to nod off? These chews are the antidote. First, they are kinda hard to remove from their wrapper, so that wakes you up. They are super chewy, so that wakes you up. They are super spicy, so that wakes you up. Sad to say, but I need them a lot, since I am about to fall asleep even as I write. They are also good for indigestion. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Chimes-Original-Ginger-Chews-1-pound/dp/B005ISUOEQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1362577246&sr=1-2&keywords=chimes+ginger+chews
- Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand -- I read this book for our JLD Sustainer Book Club (Between the Covers) that meets next week and it is hard to put down. Hillenbrand wrote Seabiscuit and she uses the "same rich and vivid narrative voice" here to tell the true story of Louis Zamperini, a young lieutenant during WWII who became a POW of the Japanese. Gripping.
What are your 4 favs?
P.S. The bracelets and Chimes are shown above. When are you coming over?
