Things I’m Loving Lately #24 [#LinkUp]
Good morning, everyone!
We passed Hump Day so it’s nothing but downhill for the rest of the week! (Let’s hope). Anyway, before I jump into the usual Things I’m Loving Thursday post, I wanted to pause to thank all of the readers – old and new – of this blog. I always read each and every comment I receive but, this week in particular, I’ve felt so much love and support. Many of you have left such thoughtful messages on my Disability Awareness post and I wanted to be sure to recognize how much they mean to me. This weekend, I’ll also have some time to sit down and respond to them individually.
Still, I wanted to thank you because living out in this rural town where the mindset and mentality around Special Education is a whole heck-of-a-lot different, I’m grateful I have this blog (and the readers) as an outlet. It makes me feel like I’m not completely crazy to think the way I do.
This blog and all you wonderful people are the thing I’m loving most this week, but in true Thursday fashion, here are a few other things making me smile. As always, share what you’re loving in the comments below or drop your own posts in the link-up below!
-
A Day Off Work
Even though we had a Snow Day on Monday, I took Tuesday off work to spend the day with Ankur in Knoxville. He was done with his exam earlier in the day and had the rest of the day off. So, when I found out he’d be done around 9AM, I quickly scrambled to find a sub for me because quality time with a medical school student should always be prioritized over anything. Luckily, my co-workers really value a work/life balance so nobody thought it was crazy to take a day off work to spend time with my husband. We went to Balter Beerworks for lunch and watched La La Land. Both highly recommended. -
Senator Collins and Senator Murkowski
We need to continue to fight. If you give even the slightest shit about the education system, you HAVE to know that DeVos is not the answer. It’s not to late to contact your senators to oppose Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education. Use this website to find their contact information and a sample script. Keep the pressure on.

Peanut Butter Cup Halo Top
Hands down the best flavor that Halo Top’s got. I was so excited when I saw this in the freezer section at Kroger. Our freezer is already stocked full of other varieties, but there is always room for Peanut Butter Cup. (And truth be told, it probably won’t take up room for much longer. We’re making our way through this pint rather quickly!) -
Breakfast Sandwiches
I’m certain that I’ve blogged about these on another Things I’m Loving post but my egg white sandwiches definitely start my day off with a smile. Yesterday morning, I noticed a long line in every single drive-thru between home and work. It’s likely that many of these people were just picking up coffee. But it reminded me that I’m so fortunate to have a husband who is obsessed with breakfast and can whip up a breakfast sandwich (in 5 minutes!) that keeps me full for hours. -
Obama/Biden Memes
These will never get old. For as long as I live. And I hope that’s how long they will continue.

This is the most random mix of love! I eat yogurt and granola most days for breakfast. Also need to try that ice cream!
Oh my, your post is making me hungry. I already ate, but it’s time for second breakfast! Yes to a day off work. I’m looking forward to the weekend.
I love to have eggs and mushrooms for my breakfast or oatmeal made with almond milk. Both super tasty and keep me full for hours!
Right now my hubby and son are grateful as they do not have to wait anymore to see the Lego Batman Movie. Lol.
I’m enjoying de-cluttering my house and getting out and jogging this week. 🙂
Your breakfast sandwich looks YUMMY! I need to get back to eating more filling breakfasts with less carbs and more protein! 😉 One thing I’m loving this week is discovering your blog! YAY!! =)
I’ve been wanting the try the Halo Top ice-cream. I’ve seen them in Kroger but wasn’t sure how they tasted. I’ll look for the Peanut Butter cup.
I bake some egg cups with broccoli, cheese, bacon that we can pop in the microwave in the morning. They’re easy to take on the go. These week I’m loving the new friends I’ve made at the open mics I’ve gone to.
Obama/Biden memes are LIFE, lol….they seriously crack me up!

Good day start with breakfast sandwich. i bake idli is a traditional breakfast made in every south indian household.
Those nachos look delicious, are those potato chips? Oh an eggwhite breakfast sandwich sounds so good right now, I better go eat breakfast myself.
I have to say I am still loving the Biden memes, they just crack me up. Whatever that food is in the second picture, looks like loaded pub chips or nachos… OMG that makes my mouth water.
I am vehemently against just about all things Trump, so I have been calling. I’m feeling blue because I live in a red state – VERY hard after moving from California to the south. but be the change and all. Making my calls and sending my letters, daily!
A coworker was JUST telling me about the Halo top ice cream. I really need to check this out!
You and my husband and the pb cup halo top! He loves it. We have like 5 in the freezer!
I grew up in a rural town and was just shaking my head in agreement that so many things are just pushed aside as no matter when you live in a small community. RIse up people I say!
So much tasty food in this post! It’s making me pine for the happy hour I’m headed to soon, haha. I had butter grits with coffee this morning; good and filling to start the day right. (: One thing I’ve been really enjoying this week is getting back into the saddle with Instagram!
Ok, that made me laugh, the Obama meme. I am not usually too political, but I get that one!
I got loads done at work this week which I was really happy about haha! I don’t really eat breakfast in the morning to be honest! I did make a nice breakfast sandwich though (last week lol)
I bet it was lovely to have a day off havent got one booked off until April! I could do with one though!

HALO TOP! I have seen so much about this brand but can’t find any stores near me that carry it but I have only heard great things!
Love the Obama/Biden memes. It’s a wormhole I can’t help but enjoy to fall into. After two weeks of work I am so ready for a weekend off this weekend!!! Whooohooo!
Glad you got to spend some extra couple time with your husband! I always feel so free when I’m out and about on weekdays!
I love breakfast sandwiches or baked oatmeal with peanut butter for breakfasts!
This week I’m loving Jane Davenport’s new Mixed media collection, Vegan enchiladas, finishing up a long time project. Still a work in progress just at this moment, but a solution has been found for something that was bugging me. Our Melbourne weather is lovely at the moment though a shower would be nice. Potted plants and current book. Phew, so much to love.
Hooray for a day off! And for opposing Betsy Devos! And for hilarious Obama/Biden Memes.
This whole post made me smile.
I love that you took the day off to spend with hubby! Food all looks amazing. Hope the day was amazing!!
I can’t think of what I’m loving this week besides the awesome warm weather. I love ice cream and whatever you were eating looks amazing.
I had the chance to watch La La Land and loved it highly recommended as you say. Need to try the ice cream though looks like a good option =)
Did you like La La Land? I thought some parts were slow but overall a very interesting movie. I love a good breakfast so I am jealous.
I have heard that La La Land is fantastic. I’ve got to get to see it…seems like one that would be best on the big screen. I’m all for putting what matters first, too, good decision to spend time with your hubby, glad you have supportive co-workers.
Oh that ice cream looks yummy! I have heard great things about it, I need to try it soon, maybe this weekend!
Oh my god the Obama and Biden memes are seriously my fave!
I need to try Halo Top ice cream soon. I do love going out to get a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich from time to time, but I always have a homemade wrap with an egg and lots of veggies. It’s my favorite way to start the day! 🙂
Bajaj’s! Those Obama and Biden memes are always a crack-up. Loving that poem.
You seem to like the same kinds of food like me. I love the Peanut Butter Cup Halo Top very much too and have a craving for it.
God the ice-cream is making me hungry! I usually eat an omelette or a fried egg for breakfast! And tea of course.
The one thing I am loving this week is that we finally are getting a break and headed up to the family cabin for a little r&r. I have been waiting since November for us to make it up there.
I want that egg white sandwich now…….
It is 11:27 p.m. at night. I was trying to be good and ate a piece of fish for dinner, no carbs and no veggies that’s why I could use that yumm looking sandwich.
But I will be good and go to bed after drinking a glass of water so good night All.
Loved reading that you enjoyed your Tuesday off with your dear hubby.
xoxo
I totally need a day off from life, one where I can just read a book and lay in bed! Life is so crazy!
To answer your question, “What do you eat for breakfast?” I would say, anything readily available. I could reheat leftovers from dinner, or make some toast, or rush out to work and just drop by a McDonald’s drive through for anything. I should start waking up early to fix myself a healthier breakfast.
Breakfast sandwiches look so good. It makes me so hungry and I need to get my breakfast for 2nd time! lol
I have been loving an extra day off too. It has been so nice. While it would be nice to have extra hours, I feel that my sanity has needed this so much!
The Biden memes are amazing! I crack up laughing whenever I see a new one. I’ve never heard of Halo Top, and I may have to give that a try now. Anything with peanut butter is delicious.
Those nachos look insane!! Love the Obama/Biden memes but they make me cry with nostalgia 😢 Also SO excited about how everyone has banded together against DeVos’ nomination! So close!!
I’m always going to love the Obama-Biden memes. Honestly, I hope those never go away!
I love the peanut butter cup flavor too! Basically anything with peanut butter and chocolate I will fall over for. Love this!
I want to try it that halo top ice cream, sounds so good! Also, the Biden/Obama memes are seriously my favorite ever
You gotta love Biden/Obama memes haha, they are the absolutely best. I’m still upset Biden didn’t get to be a president for a day haha! x
I usually eat fruit for breakfast. Have to give breakfast sandwiches a try too. This week I’m totally loving reading!
This post made me so hungry! I really fancy a breakfast sandwich now – my fave is mozzarella and pesto
Please please please don’t ever let the Obama/Biden memes go away. They make me smile like nothing else!
I love halo top! What I normally eat for breakfast is eggs, avocado toast, peanut butter and toast- I love breakfast!
I love to eat turkey sausage and waffles for breakfast. Lately I have been loving my vintage record player.
I love that you were able to have a date day with your husband during the week – and that your coworkers understood. That is amazing! 🙂
Oh my goodness… I’ve been loving the Obama/Biden memes as well!! They are so funny LOL

Breakfast sandwiches are the bomb! I need one now… this protein shake is just not cutting it. Enjoy your weekend!
I usually don’t get into politics because of religious reasons, but I do agree that DeVos is not the answer. I’ve already contacted my senator to vote against her.
love that you wrote this post! made me smile to see what your items wore cause it was genuine and nothign you are trying to sell me. love it!
I love reading your posts. This one is making me what to raid the fridge. LOL Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy it.
My husband took a day off work this past week and it really helped to break the week up for both of us!
The Joe Biden Memes are definitely a great way to take a moment to laugh. I had not seen that one yet. So glad to hear that you are also against Betsy De Vos. We all need to work together on this one.
Nice list of likes there Divya!! Sorry it’s taken a while to make it here – I came by for a visit and to say a heartfelt thank you for following my blog.
I could use some peanut butter right about now… but in ICE CREAM!?!? Get outta here, lol
