Dan and I have never been really big fans of the Valentine's holiday. We usually prefer to stay in to avoid the crowds and we generally don't buy each other gifts however I like making lists and this seems like a good enough reason! So, here's what would be on my Valentine's wish list... (in no particular order, of course)I think this red Under Armour ColdGear long sleeve compression mock (shown at right) would be awesome. I don't have any mock necks in my wardrobe right now and I wish I did to keep my neck a little warmer. Plus it comes in red so it's very festive!
I'd heard about Nuun through a bunch of blogs that I read so I was curious. When I was in Las Vegas at the half marathon expo Nuun was offering samples so I tried a few different flavors (including the Kona Cola -- holy amazing!) and fell in love with it. I was worried about adding things into my water bottle because it a) might bother my stomach and b) contain a lot of sugar and thus cost a lot of PointsPlus value. I was delighted to find Nuun because neither of these things are true - in fact each tablet has 0 PP value! I can't honestly say I have a favorite flavor - because each one that I try is better than the last.A couple of the blogs that I read regularly have featured jewelry by Erica Sara Designs. I think the designs are unique and stunning. I love the 13.1 necklace or the Say It Do It bracelet but I think any of the designs would make an awesome addition to my jewelry collection!
And because there are other things to my life than running/weight loss *gasp* (I'm as shocked as you are!) here are some other ideas...
I bought one of these iPhone cases from Shutterfly.com for Dan for his birthday a couple of weeks ago and personalized it with a photo of the two of us from our trip to Alaska. I was excited when it arrived and couldn't wait to open it. The case looks amazing and Dan loves it because it's not textured so it slips in/out of his pocket easily. The cool thing about this case is that the photo wraps around the corners so the entire case is the photo.
For reasons that I am not sure of I love to read new cookbooks. Last year around Christmas I bought a cookbook called One Pot Cookbook written by Weight Watchers. We've made a bunch of the recipes and they have all been delicious. When I saw that Weight Watchers published a New Complete Cookbook (and that it comes with a bonus slow cooker section) I immediately added it to my wish list. I have definitely been trying to be better about menu planning so I have a shopping list when I hit the supermarket rather than just buying whatever looks good and trying to figure out when/where to use the ingredients later. So when I'm getting ready to menu plan I love looking through cookbooks for new recipes to try, especially if it has lots of pictures!!
One of my favorite authors has a new book out. I have laughed (probably until I cried and/or peed my pants) at each of her books. She has a new book called Here I Go Again that I cannot wait to read. I love that Jen Lancaster weaves her scathing wit around stories that revolve around the Chicago-land area. Her books say the things we all wish we could say to our friends, spouses, boss or trainer but it's that wit that I look forward to from the first page through the last.
Do you celebrate Valentine's Day by doing something special? What's on your wish list?
