This microwave popcorn popper. It makes the perfect amount of popcorn for a single serving, and I can control the amount of butter. Bonus, no worries about any added ingredients/chemicals from traditional microwave bags.
Damn, you, Peas! I just made another purchase because of one of you.You will love it! I use it everyday. It takes a scant 1/4 c popcorn kernels and anywhere from 1/2 to 1 T. Butter (I heart butter!). I never add oil, but you could do that instead of butter if you prefer.

The new house has a pool, and the kids are really excited. This makes me very happy. Also we have found so many morels at the new place. Lastly, I asked for help meal planning on Monday and both kids were actually helpful in coming up with ideas.

Oh for heaven's sake... ordered! I'm going to start making a list of the items I purchase based on Pea recommendations. You people cost me some serious $$ but you haven't steered me wrong yet! I started a new job this week and while it is only day 3 and I’m still completely overwhelmed I am loving it! My boss is really patient with me and since I have literally zero experience my coworkers and the other people I interact with have been very understanding and willing to help me with things I have questions with. I'm on day 3 of a new job too! Also overwhelmed, also loving it!! After working remotely for years and years, it's a severe culture shock going into an office every day. I've spent more time face-to-face with colleagues in the past 3 days than I have in the past 6 months - absolutely no exaggeration! I've also started running - I'm slowwww but after doing the Couch to 5K program I ran my first 5K distance on Saturday, which was also my 50th birthday. I'm so proud of myself I can hardly stand it!

Thank you - I feel pretty awesome!! Ten weeks ago I was struggling with alternating walking/jogging for just a couple of minutes at a time. If you had told me then that I would be running 3 miles without stopping two months hence, I would have laughed you out of the room. The sense of accomplishment is absolutely incredible!

Mines the antithesis of yours. I am loving a new series on Netflix called "Dead to Me." I keep waiting for someone to start a thread about it, but apparently I'm the only one here who's discovered it Oh and I'm also loving the weather lately as well. Gorgeous walk along Alki Beach this morning with harbor seals frolicking just off shore and eagles teaching their fledglings vs to fly. If you're visiting Seattle in the next week, you're in for a springtime treat!I ETA: looks like everyone else is happy that spring has sprung too! <iframe width="25.839999999999918" height="5.400000000000006" style="position: absolute; width: 25.839999999999918px; height: 5.400000000000006px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_87783862" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="25.839999999999918" height="5.400000000000006" style="position: absolute; width: 25.84px; height: 5.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1230px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_11589832" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="25.839999999999918" height="5.400000000000006" style="position: absolute; width: 25.84px; height: 5.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 208px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_36731560" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="25.839999999999918" height="5.400000000000006" style="position: absolute; width: 25.84px; height: 5.4px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1230px; top: 208px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_47178211" scrolling="no"></iframe> OMG I binged watched it..

I’m loving as I run I get to see all the pretty flowers and trees blooming! Right now, the weather in the mornings is wonderful and I’m really learning to appreciate the small things that give me joy.
As for food items: French pressed coffee! Intimidating at first to me, but really quite easy to make and the coffee really is much smoother and tastier. Got my French press from Ikea!
Book: I just finished reading Beyond the Point by Claire Gibson. An absolutely wonderful book about friendship and the ups and downs of life. Go read it!

For me, it's Pilates. I'm obsessed. My new Pilates studio is what I'm loving now. I studied classical pilates (reformer) for about 5 years. Then 4 years ago there were changes in my studio that I couldn't live with so I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. I finally burned out on the cardio/weight lifting routine (had never loved it anyway), when DD told me about a new pilates studio nearby. Went to an intro class and fell in love immediately with the studio/instructors/classes. I'm in there 4-5 times a week and don't drag my feet about going. That's when you know you're doing the right workout for you! Already I'm feeling more limber and flexible.

NYT Letter Box game. I subscribed to the Crossword puzzles just so I could keep playing this game though I like the regular crossword, too. Doing a crossword with Autocheck is so much better. We've watched one episode of Dead to Me. Will definitely keep watching.

I thought of another thing - my wedge sneakers - they are so comfortable and much more flattering than regular sneakers - they have a hidden 2 inch wedge!

I'm loving that I'm scrapbooking again! Thanks again to the awesome gals that threw the INSD crop here recently, and seeing everyones' layouts reminded me of how much FUN it is to scrapbook! Not for ME, but I'm loving that Marie Callendar's has this new banana yumminess for DH. He often craves my homemade banana bread, but the other day, it would have been too hard to make because my hands were killing me, so it was a nice surprise to find this at the store. ** Annnd, they were on sale for half price!

I taught mat-based Pilates for many years -- and never felt better physically than I did then. I totally understand your love of it. My latest love is Purple Heron sparking rosé from South Africa. It's ridiculously inexpensive and so good. I had picked up a few bottles to take in the limo with us for 'say yes to the dress' day and everyone raved about it. I promptly headed back to the store and bought THREE cases of it! That ought to last me a while. The rose sounds great! Where do you find it?

The rose sounds great! Where do you find it? I got it at Lidl's. Only like $7.99 per bottle. Any good wine under $10-12 is always a great find.

Me, too. I recently stopped buying microwave popcorn because DH was making it every night after dinner. So, then I bought the kernels, and now he makes a hot mess on the stovetop making it with oil. We used to have one of these in plastic...but, I love that this one is glass and silicone! Thanks! What am I loving lately? Being with my kids after a long trip abroad, wrapping up the school year, and watching my middle son at HS football practice. Erin
