Things I Have Been Loving This Summer - Part 1

Like I said in my last post, we've a great summer! And it's gone by so quickly! Today I'm sharing round one of some of the things that I loved this summer. 

{We're having make-your-own pizza night with one of Alise's friends and I just burned the bacon because I was writing this post. 😠 Ugh!! The family isn't going to let me live this down! I'll hear about it all weekend. Now I need to wonder why the smoke alarm didn't go off?}

We discovered a new frozen pizza that we really, really like and I found it at a non-chain grocery store, but I think Walmart may have them, too. It's the California Pizza Kitchen brand and it's the Sicilian Recipe pizza. It kinda reminds me of a meat lovers, but the flavor is just fantastic.

I found out about Tom Brown's Body podcast by listening to the Big Boo podcast with Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson. I especially love crime/who dun it podcasts and this one was a FIVE star. I even told Wayne about it and he ended up finishing it before me. 

Speaking of media, we watched Cruel Summer as a family in July and we enjoyed it. It had been a long time since we've watched a series together. Alise normally likes the young adult shows, but they normally don't hold my attention and I give up. Needless to say, this one did and although I really didn't care for the ending - for reasons that I won't give away - it is definitely a series worth watching. 

Unfortunately we were very late getting our pool up and going this summer. Everything started out well and then we discovered water behind our liner so we knew we had a leak. Two weeks of waiting for the new liner to ship turned into nearly a month, and once we DID finally have it installed, then it decided to rain every weekend for about three weeks in a row! But I'm loving the new darker look of the pool.

Absolutely LOVED bringing out all the red, white, and blue this summer and flags just make me so happy! 

Lastly, I have been loving my Vitamin D. What, you say? Well, this spring I had my annual visit with my doctor and I told her how tired I was all the time and how I didn't have any energy. She did some blood work and prescribed me a weekly dose of 50,000 grams of Vitamin D. And I also take a daily Vitamin D and  - because I'm a doctor, too! - I decided to take a B-12 vitamin.  Y'all, I can't begin to tell you  how much better I feel! I go back in a few weeks to have my lab work done again and I can't wait to see just how low I really was and what the improvement numbers are. I haven't felt this good in a really, really long time.

Have a great week, Friends! Hoping to resume a more regular schedule after school starts next week!
