Why? Because I love seeing this kind of stuff on other peoples posts because it gives me ideas for things to check out. AND I think it will be fun to capture the things I'm into at this point in my life for posterity.
Current Crushes:
My black pashmina. The perfect spring accessory. Good for cold offices and covering up for a night on the town after the sun goes down.
The Book "Outliers". I read this a couple a months ago and find instances to cite it almost daily! It's such a good book to help explain social/economic phenomenon. Great for sounding witty at cocktail parties.
Direct TV DVR. How did I live this long without DVR? I have no idea. I was stuck in the stone age. No longer am I tethered to particular timeslots or subjected to endless commercials. Note: On DVR an episode of American idol can be watched in like 30 minutes.
Multi-string beaded necklaces. I have a bunch of cute necklaces that I picked up shopping last month (many for like $4 at Forever XXI). I've got white, black, green, purple. The really make a simple outfit a lot more fun, funky, and hip.
Pandora. I know Pandora is not new. But I got sick of my iPod and I love Pandora. Favorite playlists? "Journey", "John Mayer", "Rascal Flatts", "David Crowder", and "The Cure". What can I say, I'm eclectic!
Current Cravings:
Ceviche. I LOVE ceviche. It's 9 AM and I could go for some ceviche. And to think a year ago was the first time i tried the heavenly dish. Crazy. (Note: Ceviche is a form of citrus-marinated seafood appetizer, popular in mainly South American. Both finfish and shellfish are used; finfish is typically raw while shellfish is typically cooked. If you like sushi and citrus, you'll like ceviche.)
Viogner. Nothing beats a good wine. For years I've been very into red wine -- Cabernets, Zins, Pinots. But while wine tasting in Santa Barbara I discovered an amazing white wine, Viogner. It pretty sweet but goes great with spicy Thai or Chinese dishes which I love.
What are you currently crushing on? Craving?

I love Pandora and our DVR. How we watched tv without DVR is beyond me!
Good to know about the Outliers. I liked Blink so I'll have to check it out.
Ceviche is my fav! You have excellent taste (I'm going to have to try that wine!)
You can download Pandora to a Blackberry. It is AMAZING! It uses your online account and will play all your saved stations. I listen to it non-stop in my car instead of the horrible stations here.
My best friend has been trying to get me into Pandora for a while. I may just finally give it a look.
What is Ceviche exactly? I've never seen it before.
I love my black pashmina too! It really is the perfect accessory!
While I don't eat seafood that Ceviche made me really want some Mexican food. Some decent salsa and a good old fashioned burrito. I sure do miss CA right now.

I love ceviche, although a haven't had any in a while. In a similar seafood note, I have been craving sushi lately.
And I wish I had a DVR. My parents do, and whenever I go home its like the highlight of my visit
I'm currently crushin on anything pearls-related! And sandals in this gorgeous weather!
Craving-- more greek salad! I've been on that craze for a full week now and it's so good!!
I don't know how I lived so long without DVR either! It's a beautiful thing!

I truly don't want to think about life before DVR. It's truly one of the best entertainment inventions, ever.
Love the necklaces.... granted, I don't wear enough of them. But, I do love them.
We've had a DVR for years and I can't imagine life without it. Our kids truely do not understand that there are places where you can't watch Dora anytime you want, rewind a show or pause a show.
My husband watches a football game in 45 minutes - awesome!!!!
Our newest toy is a Blue-Ray. It has a Netflix player & Pandora built in. It rocks!
we so want to get dvr, we're still in the stone age=)! fun post! i've been wanting to get a pashmina, i love scarves and necklaces!
I am addicted to Pandora as well!! I love the Dave Matthews Band station :)
I couldn't live without my DVR!
I am a commercial snob now that we have DVR...I yell at Big Man that we dont watch commercials in this house when he has the remote.
Love the necklace!
I wear my hot pink pashmina everyday :)
