Favorite Things Friday

Happy Friday, everyone!
Wow, it feels like it's been forever since I've done a Favorite Things Friday post, but here I am, on a Friday, with a post all ready to go! Be amazed. 

1. Midwestern sunsets. You can hate on the hills and prairies all you want, but I promise that the midwest has some of the best sunsets I have ever seen. Hands down. 


2. White Collar. Holy balls. I LOVE this show. And no, it is not only because Neal Caffrey  (aka Matt Bomer) is dead freaking sexy. It's an interesting show with a great story. But... just for you, here is a picture of Mr. Sexy-face himself. And no, I don't care about that stupid 50 shades of gray book, so don't comment about how he'd make the perfect guy character.

3. Finding old pictures of me strangling my cat. Mike got his iPhone fixed and we went through pictures and found this gem. It looks like I'm strangling my cat, but I promise I wasn't. He liked the cuddles.







4. Fresh salads. This one has a raspberry vinaigrette and poppyseed dressing, grilled chicken, strawberries, craisins, lettuce, and feta cheese. So. Good.
5. Awesome blogs. I love awesome blogs. And I have a bunch over there on my sidebar. I want to introduce you to some today! Of course I give you a little bit of background info on each blog (written by myself).

I found Alex's blog when we were both living in Germany, and have read it ever since! She's awesome, and I'm really sad that I didn't get to meet her while I lived there. She just got back from a trip to Turkey, and it looks like it was such a blast!

I've been following Ashley at her blog After Nine to Five for a loonnnng time, so I was really excited when she told me she and her husband were starting a blog. They do all sorts of fun features, and I love their "Things I'm Grateful for Friday."


I found Lori's blog a few months ago, and am so glad I did! She lives in Georgia, and I'm thinking she needs to do a vlog, because I really want to hear her accent. Anyway, she's absolutely adorable, has a great sense of style, and is such a sweetheart!

Bri is awesome (just like her blog). She used to work for Nascar in North Carolina, but just made the move back to Texas. She has the most adorable dog (who likes to go for the occasional swim and sit by the pool while sipping margaritas - she's a posh puppy) and is such a sweetheart! I've loved getting to know her!


What are some of your favorite things this week?

Oh wow, the sunset pictures are fantastic!

Breenah said...

That is the one benefit of being so flat, we've got some PURTY sunsets. The shmexy man up there was in In Time for a bit and Jarrod kept making me look away because I'd stare at him. Made Justin Timberlake almost seem average in comparison.

English Anderson said...

Those are some awesome sunsets. I used to fist fight people over where the prettiest sunsets took place [okay, no fist fighting. I mean, I'm pretty much a leprechaun], but have gotten to the point where I just love them period.

Unknown said...

Lol your cat is so adorable :)

Favorites of the week? Mojito Madness manicure, the wine I purchased last night, winning a giveaway, all the love that seems to be in the air!

Have a great weekend Alyx!

Raych said...

Ok. I admit it. I do miss midwest sunsets. Also I'm a White Collar ADDICT! I was lucky enough to see them filming in our neighborhood. I took approx. 9,385 pictures (99% of which were of Matt Bomers bum) Are you gonna go see him in Magic Mike?

kim @ a positive peace said...

ahhhh! looove the sunsets! whenever i go back to florida i take like a million pics of sunsets over the water bc i miss them!! of course when i do see a good sunset, maybe while running, i have to stop my run to take 4000 pics .. totally normal!

also, heyy baby to matt bomer. too bad he's gay. cause otherwise i would've totally had a chance yanno! hahah

Bri Buzali said...

ok, so, I'm a sucker for ANY sunset but those pictures are AMAZING. Especially the second one, did you take it? Also, thanks for the shout-out!

Kylie said...

Those sunsets could almost compete with AZ sunsets ;) Haha! And I thought you didn't like vegetables?? Do salads not count? Just kidding. It looks delicious though!

Ashley said...

How have I never heard of this White Collar show????? Need to look into that NOW!

That sunset is ridiculously beautiful.

Debbie @ OtRD said...

You are hilarious! This is my first time stopping by and White Collar--Love it!!

jessica said...

Haha I'd have to agree with Kylie about the Arizona sunsets. I'm quite partial to them :)

Unknown said...

Well I see we have several votes for AZ sunsets in the comments already... haha. But your Midwestern sunsets look beautiful too! And that salad sounds amazing!!!

Why Girls Are Weird said...

I LOVE White Collar, that show is AMAZING.

No(dot dot)el said...

Those sunset pics are beautiful. Really so pretty. And the pic of you and your cat so cute. Ha ha ha Holy balls I love that saying about as much as Bat Shit Crazy!

Kelly said...

Those sunsets are beautiful. And that picture of you with your kitty is adorable. I have a raspberry vinaigrette that I put on ALL my salads. It's just so freaking good! And at first I thought the idea of fruit in my salad was weird, but I tried strawberries in it and LOVED it.

Andi of My Beautiful Adventures said...

Those sunset pics are JUST incredible!

Courtney B said...

Those sunset pictures are GORGEOUS! Seriously, wow!
And we've been watching White Collar on netflix! You are right... Matt Bomer is sexy. There just isn't a better word to describe him!

Sara Louise said...

You're totally strangling that kitty!
And thanks for suggesting White Collar, I've been looking for something new to watch :)
