~Monday already? For real? Our weekend consisted of the Super Bowl and snow. And that’s about it. Oh and some shopping. Lots of S’s! The Superbowl itself I thought was on the dull side. However, if you were a Seahawks fan, I would assume that was a great game. Honestly watching the Bronco’s was like watching the Lions play on a Sunday afternoon! Still a totally fun night though with lots of yummy food.
~And now on to the best part of the Super Bowl, the ads! I highly enjoyed the Budweiser “Best Buds” commercial with the puppy and horse. Do they ever make a bad ad? Because I always seem to love them. I also enjoyed the Radio Shack one (I feel like it’s good they realize everyone thinks of them and the 1980’s / 1990’s), the Audi one with the crazy looking dogs and the Chrysler one with Bob Dylan because it was full of Detroit scenes!
~I’m not totally sure what subscription boxes are coming this week, but I am thinking it’s going to be a slow week around here. I know Stitch Fix is coming and i have a few reviews to get up (Adventure Trunk, Homegrown Collective spring to mind), so it won’t be totally dull around here. Plus, if it gets too boring, we’ll just do another giveaway! Maybe I will even get some time to knock a few things off my “To Do” list this week! Meaning work on my taxes and start Gone Girl. We may get some more snow this week too, so that could be fun!
~I’ve asked this before, but I want to know again, what are your five favorite blogs (other than your own and mine – LOL of course)? I need some more reads! And now that I have figured out how to comment on blogger blogs (it was a setting in my computer), I am good to go.
~I got my Erin Condren acrylic box order last week and it’s possible that I love this more than the trays I have. It can be used for recipes , but I put washi tape in mine and have it on display in my office. It’s perfect. I either need to use up some washi before I buy more or I need to order another box to put it in. Hmm, which would I prefer ;).
~Anyone still watching the Bachelor? Who are you thinking is going to win this? Do you think they are still together??
That’s it for now, but what’s up for your Monday? Is anyone dragging after from their Super Bowl party last night?
I love http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com and http://www.mennonitegirscancook.com
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Whoops I meant http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.com
That link didn’t work either. It might be http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca ‘
That’s it!
The box is adorable! Why do we love things like this so much? I can’t imagine my husband getting excited about an acrylic box 🙂 I would fill it with lollipops and put it on the kitchen counter 🙂
I wonder the same thing. My husband was like, umm, okay that’s nice??.
Just of out curiousity, what happened to WB’s forehead? It looks like he may have gotten bonked.
Oh he got in a fight with the coffee table. He lost ;(.
Definetly buy another box 😉 I loved the Radio Shack on and the Cheerios one. Very happy Seahawks one but it was kindof a boring game. I was hoping for a closer game.
Me too! And yeah, I think *need* one. LOL!
I would love to see some of the things you have done using your washi tape!
Oh it’s not Pinterest worthy or anything! I stick it in my planner like labels, use it to seal envelopes, stick it on file folders, decorate packages with it, etc.
I really enjoy reading http://robcomplains.com/ and a few other blogs, but I don’t think you would really like them. Are a bit serious and have to do with politics and human rights and stuff.

I like Rob Complains!!!
Why? That guy seems like a douche and never updates.
I know right?? Where has he been???
That’s true tho’.
I’m back, yo!
Finally!
I luv the bx and im not a crazy organized person like you but if you put the washi in rows or stacks youd have it only half full I bet found this out myself with a napkin ring storage issue and then id but TWO more lol
I thought about that, but then I would have to reorganize them all every time I wanted to use one.
Stitch Fix sent me a complete outfit this month – I kept everything! I’m wearing three pieces today (a dress, a scarf and a sweater) — I have NEVER had so many people go out of thier way to tell me how much theyliked my outfit. People were coming from across the room in meetings to whisper it. I knew I liked the outfit – but I didn’t know it was THAT good.
Well that and you are probably looking extra hot because you are killing the challenge!!!
Hubby and I watch the bachelor (and we play a fantasy game with it – like fantasy football – wih some friends) I blog about it each week. Here was my latest: http://whattheschneck.blogspot.com/2014/02/bachelor-recap-fantasy-standings-week-4.html?m=1

Thanks for all the recs!!!!
That football game was depressing. The adds were okay, not my favorite bunch as whole this year. Loved the Radio Shack commercial…we reran it several times so we could pick out all the 80’s references. Of course the Budweiser Dog one. I also enjoyed the yellow M&M getting kidnapped but that doesn’t show up on peoples best of list.
The new Oreo’s were released today. Any sighting???
I haven’t been out! But you are making me want to look!!!!
OMG, I didn’t even know you could order 6 and we are now on 7! I’m so behind! I also just got an email that that Escape Monthly’s NY box is half off today with code NYHALFOFF!!
Ahh, that is a crazy deal! Thank you for the heads up!
I love thehairpin.com and Smitten Kitchen and healthytippingpoint.com. Okay, so now can you talk about the terrible-ness of BespokePost this month?! Maybe B will like it but we got “Swagger” and its just a bunch of socks. So $45 of socks. My husband likes socks as much as any other human but compared to like, the amazing cutting board with delicious foodie treats, or the rock solid awesome poker set, or any of the other cool boxes, this is just a joke! Even wantable is cheaper and if they give you socks, they give you socks AND other fun things. Almost selected Sweat but just decided to opt out so that we could give the feedback which is: what in holy hell are you thinking?
Thanks for the recs!
I am oddly excited about the socks! It’s one less thing we don’t have to get. LOL. You could opt for the other one, but that’s totally not us (the bow tie will not likely happen here).
Ha ha! That is true, one less thing to worry about. We live in Hawaii so socks are only for hiking (we wear sandals to work! We know this is very obnoxious to mainlanders) and just so not us. Actually none of them were this month! Sorta disappointing. 🙁
I used to try to sneak sandals to work whenever I could. I think I wore flip flops a few time to see if anyone noticed. They never did ;). (this only happened in the summer of course).
OMG just noticed that you posted about your selections on the first! Sorry! But yes. Flip flops at work are still such a thrill for me! (Ironically its raining today and I am wearing socks and shoes)
I love that box! You should probably get a few more, just to be safe. 🙂 I have 12 blogs in my “all time faves” category on Bloglovin (including yours!), so I won’t share all of them, but I love onefinea.com, stripesandsequins.com, and thealisonshow.com. And yes, I am definitely still watching The Bachelor! I see the final three as Clare, Sharleen, and Andi. So looking forward to tonight’s episode!!!
Thanks for the recs!!
And I am excited about tonight’s episode too! It should be a good one (they all are though).
Um, mine. J/K. My favorites are Hollywood Housewife (LOVE her.), SortaCrunchy, and the City Moms Blog Network. Lots of talent there.
Thank you!!!
Was disappointed with the Superbowl ads, although the puppy/horse was cute. I can’t resist puppies! And I loved the Cheerios family! A new brother AND a puppy! It’s a win-win! 🙂
Ellen played the puppy/horse one today and both of my boys and both of my dogs stopped at stared at the tv the entire time it was on. I’d say it was a hit with them too!
This is my current favorite:
