On My Radar

Awesome things are happening around us every single day! How phenomenal is that?! Here are some things that have been "On My Radar" as of this past weekend ....



1) Late Night Restaurants - lets be honest, as a college student, there is not much better than restaurants and coffee shops that are open late at night. The most recent discovery as of Friday night is The Flameburger. Being that it was so late at night, I only ordered hash browns, but I will say they were quite good, there was a nice amount and it was less than $4 ... Absolutely incredible! A little greasy, but I can work with it.  As one of my other friends put it though (and they ordered THE Flameburger), "I hoped it would be a 6.8, after eating it I'm going to give it a 5.2, and after about 10 minutes in the car on the way back home, I'm going to lower my rating to a 4.8." We can't win them all I guess!

2) Arm Knitting - I can't knit or crochet, but I can use my arms so I arm knitted TWO scarves this weekend!!! If I am being completely honest though, my first one still turned out a little sketchy, but my second scarf I am in love with and have worn it every day since Saturday, which is the day I made it. Basically, I'm incredibly proud of myself, all of my friends and family are going to get arm knitted scarves for both birthdays and Christmas over the next year, and I am going to make more scarves this coming weekend!!!

3) Eat More Dessert - My weakness is ICE CREAM! Gosh, it's just lovely and sweet, and is definitely my favorite dessert! I went to Izzy's Ice Cream for the first time this Sunday with some friends and it was just the darn cutest little shop and there were so many beautiful flavors - I got a split single of Irish Moxie and Graham Cracker ice cream and for my "Izzy" (which is a baby scoop of ice cream that they put on top of your cone - AHHHH!) I got Salted Caramel. It was heaven on earth for less than five minutes as I inhaled the deliciousness!













4) March Madness - In my world, it's a holiday, and I love it! Duke is my favorite college team, ever since I was a little girl and Coach K is such a great coach - I want to meet him before I die - so I will always cheer for them, even when they have a great regular season and lose in the first round (crying). I'm originally from Iowa, but I really hate the Hawkeyes and if I am completely honest I don't really like Iowa State (but my boyfriend goes there and they're playing well so I have been cheering for them within the last year and I know one several articles of ISU clothing).  On the other hand, UNI is this great small Division 1 school and I cheer for them! They are having an incredibly fun season and most people have never heard of them - definitely will be cheering for them in the tournament! Bring on Selection Sunday!!!

  








5) Springtime - Stay calm, spring will come! Yesterday, I wore my floral pants for the first time since summer - and I don't care that I wore a sweater and boots with them and there was still snow on the ground! The sun is shining today and soon all snow will be gone - I am definitely looking forward to warmer weather and being outside.












Wishing everyone the happiest of days today ~ Today is a GREAT day to have a GREAT day!
