What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, Bloggie friends! Since it's the middle of the week, you know what that means! I'm linking up with Jamie at this kind of love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Since I am in the middle of schedule-making hell, I definitely need to focus on some of the positive things that I'm loving this week!

I'm loving that a pair of shoes that I ordered came in yesterday. And that my TOMS came in last night (but I pick them up today). AND that another pair of sandals is supposed to arrive by tonight as well! (Did I mention how I was avoiding making my schedule by doing some online shopping??? hehe) Everything I bought can be used for work, so I feel less guilty about buying three pairs of shoes. Oh, and there's another one coming too...so 4. Oops! hehe. Here's a quick peek at the shoes that are still on their way:

I'm especially excited for these to arrive!

I'm loving that I got to meet some of our incoming 3rd graders yesterday. I sat in on a mini-lesson with them, and the teacher didn't introduce me formally, but used my name in the lesson, and later in the day when I saw the kids in the hallway they were all whispering "Hi Miss Z!" It was cute. And they are SOOOOO little!!! I can already see a couple who will be a hand full, but hopefully that changes as the year goes on. (My fingers are crossed and I'm knocking on wood as we speak).

I'm loving that I made my stuffed peppers in my programmable crock pot yesterday and they were a success, yet again. This was the first time I made them in the morning and let them go all day (typically I made them on the weekend on the HIGH setting). They were deeeeelish! MP enjoyed them a lot. And then we went to Cheesecake Factory for dessert. (Needless to say, this girl needs to get back in the routine of going to the gym!!) I'm looking forward to having some stuffed pepper leftovers for lunch today!

I'm loving that my friend Trish has inspired me to start up my Friday link-up again. It's called Photo Inspiration Friday, and you post any number of pictures of something that has inspired you that week. I think it's a nice way to reflect on the week and find something positive that's happened! So, come back on Friday and link up!!

I'm loving that when I'm having a rough day, I have good girl friends to call and vent to. And they will inevitably make me laugh. Most of those girls read this blog, so...Trish, Genna, Alana...thank you! :)

What are YOU loving today? Go over and link up!!
