Watching: The olympics! DUH. Who isn't watching the olympics? Snowboarding was amazing.  Hockey is obviously awesome. So much so that I woke Dustin up at 7:30AM Saturday morning so we could watch USA vs. Russia. It's weird and fun to watch all of our Pens scattered on different teams playing against one another. Speed skating is ehh. It's hard to even take curling seriously. It seems like a game you would play drunk at a frat house. Ice skating has been entertaining to say the least. I used to LOVE it as a kid but it seems a bit cheesy now that I'm an adult. I still give all those skaters credit for those crazy tricks.

Dustin and I binge watched the first four episodes of True Detective over the weekend. It's so good! But then again, I can't think of an HBO show that I've given a try and not liked. It's definitely not your run of the mill detective/crime show. I like that they don't wrap up the story at the end of each episode. It just feels like a long movie. It's dark and suspenseful but not scary which I'm thankful for. I do not do scary/horror/jump out of your skin shit.

Speaking of HBO shows, I've got to mention how much I loved the latest GIRLS episode where they went to a beach house. I felt like I could relate to so much but especially Marnie and her expectations for things, people, and events.

ONE / TWO / THREE

I have recently received two free iTunes gift cards thanks to Humana Vitality. And yes, I downloaded some music but I've also been renting movies - the ones I know Dustin isn't interested in watching with me.  Last week I watched Don Jon one week night. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and ScarJo! I mean, COME ON. It was a little too Jersey Shore for me at first but as the story moves along the characters change and become much more likable. Also, I totally didn't see that ending coming but really happy with it. I also finally got to watch Austenland on Sunday (starring my girl Keri Russell). It was so cute with just the right amount of cheese ball. And again, I didn't see that ending coming! What is wrong with me?!

Listening to: Completely Not Me by Jenny Lewis. This is the song I was anxiously waiting to hit iTunes on the GIRLS Vol. 2 Soundtrack. And it has. And I've been loving it.

*SPOILER WARNING FOR ANYONE READING THE DIVERGENT SERIES*

Reading: I finished Allegiant over the weekend. A major character died which is probably why so many people hated the third book but when this character died I didn't really feel anything. I still feel bad about not feeling more emotional about it. I loved the character in the first book but as the series went on I started to less and less. Overall I was happy with the entire series though. However I will say, not since Harry Potter have I read a series that gets BETTER with each book. It's a bummer! 

Now I've moved on to A Really Awesome Mess by Trish Cook because it was suggested to me on my Kindle. I'm already 33% done so clearly I'm hating it - HA. There has already been a Harry Potter reference so needless to say it's awesome.

Excited about: Some really good Target finds. I bought a new pair of flats and a shirt today for $20 TOTAL. That's including tax and since I used my RedCard I got free shipping. I'm still ecstatic! I love shopping like all girls but I don't splurge very often. I feel like a lot of stuff is over priced and so I wait for it to go on sale and snatch it up or I wait too long and it disappears. But it's just so nice when it works out in my favor like today! Woo!

Thinking about: Names. A friend of mine recently changed her last name because she's a married woman now but she also opted to change her middle name while she was at it. I think this is such a cool thing to do. I'm pretty attached to my middle name but if I weren't I would have totally considered doing the same thing. Now, I have no idea what I would have gone with but I love the idea of picking something that you feel suits you better than whatever name your parents gave you when you were only minutes old. I remember playing a "game" in summer camp  when I was 12 where we went around the room telling each girl the name we thought she looked like. All I remember is someone thought I looked like a Claire which made me immediately roll my eyes. CLAIRE?!
