Springtime and a Contest!

This past Easter Sunday was SUCH a beautiful day!  After we left lunch at Ben's sister's house I just wanted to be outside.  I'm not a big hiker nor am I a very good athlete.  But, I'm really good at laying on a blanket and enjoying being outside!

Ben and I are in the midst of reading Mockingjay (the last book in the Hunger Games trilogy) so, we grabbed the book, a blanket, our waters and headed for a nearby park.  We found a good spot that was partly shaded, partly sunny and I read aloud as the sun soaked our faces.  It was nothing short of a perfect afternoon.  Well, until an ant made his way into a crevice in my water bottle... but Ben got him out!  Seriously, critters and I don't get along.  I know they're necessary for keeping the ecosystem in harmony and all, but all those creepy crawly things are not friends of mine.  In fact, I didn't realize until Monday that I'd been attacked by a giant spider!  I felt something itching on my arm Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't until the next day when I realized I had a golf ball sized bite on the side of my arm that I'd barely made it out of the park with my life!

Ok, might be a bit of an exaggeration, but geez... it itches like crazy.  It wasn't getting any better so I went to the doctor yesterday and even she was in shock at how big the bite was!  You know it's bad when you can shock the doctor.  She wasn't sure what exactly had done it, but said the treatment was the same: steroids.  My first two doses came in the form of a shot and the next dose will be pill form.  So, if I win this mud run on Saturday, you'll know why.  HA!  Totally kidding.

Now, I'm not really scared of shots but figured that was a good excuse to go by Starbucks and get my new favorite drink - Passion Tea Lemonade (sweetened) - and you better believe I went with a venti.  Woot!

Because I'm obsessed with this drink, I've posted a few too many pictures about it on Instagram and several people have mentioned that they have to try it.  So, here's your chance (or to get another drink of your choice)!  All you have to do is leave a comment below with the title and author of the book you're currently reading (or your favorite book).  That's it!

You have until tomorrow at midnight to post your comment and then I'll choose a response at random and announce the winner on this week's Fabulous Friday post!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
