Random Wednesday - So much random-ness!

It's Wednesday again! I have really come to enjoy Random Wednesday - which I think I mentioned last week.  I have so much random-ness to share with you this week!  We've officially moved to our new place in Ohio and I have been getting us settled in...and taking pictures of all the new things I've discovered in the last week.

Before I begin my 10 items of random-ness (I'm totally inventing a new word), I'm excited to share that All Things Occupied has reached 250 all time views today!  It has increased its views by 100 in the last week! Slowly, but surely, making its climb exponentially. 

So a special shout out to all of my readers! Thank you for taking time to read All Things Occupied.  I hope you are enjoying the journey.  I would love to get an idea of my audience, so please, follow the blog and don't hesitate to comment.  I'm always eager to hear your feedback! Thanks again!  You have helped make this blogging journey exciting and meaningful for me.

...Now onto it.

1.) My grandparents gave The Hubby an electric grill. He's been grilling all week.  I'm happy - because he's been taking care of the main course - and he's happy because he's in grilling bliss!

2.) Eating nightly dinners together makes for a happy family.  I'm so thankful for the time we are able to spend together.  Hard to believe we made it through an excruciating 10 months!

Mmm...grilled chicken and other yummy foods!  I think I could get used to this grilling stuff!

3.) I've been making homemade salsa like its going outta style!

2 Reasons:

a) because it's deliciously addictive

b) because The Hubby loves it - and we now live together again.

Both reasons are very good reasons to make salsa.

4.) In relation to salsa...The Hubby and I started our first mini garden.  We're growing jalapenos, cherry tomatoes, chives, romaine lettuce, and cilantro.  The hope is that we won't have to grocery shop every time we want to make salsa.  Super excited - just praying the herbs and veggies take well!  Anybody have any tips on keeping herbs and veggies alive?

5.) One of the first things we did when we moved to Ohio? Found the Target. Yup - it's my happy place, and it is within 10 minutes. Only thing missing, the attached Starbucks. (This could be a good thing though!)

Target dollar bins - yes!

6.) I'm excited for the summer Olympics.  Every time I see the commercial for VISA I get hyped up. Anybody else excited for the 2012 Olympics?

7.) Shopping at Meijer the other day...they had a half an isle dedicated to Duck Tape.  Yup - Duck Tape. Who would have thought?

I had no idea Duck Tape was so colorful??

8.) So there's this place, it's called YogurtVi - try some. It's the new Coldstone! (but healthier!) So good!

Yogurt Vi and a wishing well...

9.) I have come to the conclusion that I am on a memoir kick.  Currently reading "Heaven is Here" by Stephanie Nielson, author of the nieniedialogues.com. This book is phenomenal! Stephanie's story is inspiring. Her hope is contagious. Her blog is amazing. Read it!

10.) The next memoir: "White Girl Problems," by Babe Walker.  I literally laughed out loud when I read an excerpt. Can't wait to read this one next!

What books are you currently reading?  Have you read either of the above?

What did you do this week?
