Things I Love Thursday // 3.27.14

• Christopher Walken dancing 
• Having my first archery lesson ~ After quickly learning that even my slightly hyperextended elbow could get in the way of the bow string (ouch), I started hitting the targets and feeling like a bada$$. 
  
• Being invited into a new book club ~ I was lucky enough to be a part of two book clubs when we lived in Oregon. It's definitely been among the things I've been missing most from the life we've built here in Charlotte. I attended my first meeting on Tuesday evening and had a great time discussing a great book with a group of fun, friendly, intelligent women. Our April book is In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick. 
• My new t-shirt from J.Crew ~ Just picked this one up over weekend and I've already worn it twice! I also love, love, love this one that I bought for G. 100% of the net proceeds from G's go to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. 
  
  
  
  
• Lena Dunam on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon ~ This playful, funny, and charismatic interview has inspired my new curiosity about the 1991 Reese Witherspoon movie, The Man in the Moon. Not only have I never seen the movie--I'd never before even heard of it. I like the idea of it being awesome so much that I hesitate to actually watch it for fear that it doesn't live up to the glory espoused by both Fallon and Dunam--and really, how could it?
• This little pickle singing her heart out at her school concert last week ~ She had the honor of introducing one of the four songs and gave a brief history and synopsis of Ella Fitzgerald to the audience. She was so nervous beforehand and so proud of herself afterward (as were we). 
  
• Changing my text tone ~ Seems as though everyone had fallen under the adorable spell of "Tweet" and it was getting more and more challenging to discern when my phone was chirping and when it was someone else's. I finally made a change. I encourage all of you iPhone owners to check out "Sherwood Forest." It's so pleasantly ridiculous, it brings a smile to my face every time.
