High Five For Friday

I haven't done one of these in forever.

I blame the move.

And, you know, laziness.

But here are the best five things about this week (and a little of last week)!

(1)  Cozying up for winter (that fireplace is fake, but it does pump out heat)

(2) Actual fresh fish!

(3)  Cold weather that calls for silly sweaters

(4)  Hanging out with our silly little family

(5)  Being near water.  There are condos over there ---> that we are currently dreaming of.

High Five For Friday

My husband was gone all week.

(He's back now so don't try to come murder or rape me)

(I'm very paranoid about being murdered and raped when I'm home alone)

(I watch too much Dexter)

So I didn't really do anything all week except work late, make dinner, clean the house, and take care of the dogs (yeah, I don't normally have to do any of that stuff except work late) and the only pictures on my phone are of my dogs.

So....

Here are the five best things about this week:

High Five For Friday

At this moment, I am a fussy ball of fussy fussiness.

But, looking through my pictures to do my H54F post, I realized this week wasn't all THAT bad.

So here are the 5 best things about it.

HARUMPH.

(That's my fussy noise)

I am freakishly in love with this picture of myself.

(1) Okay, this was technically last week, but I was out of town for H54F so I'm counting it!  Meeting up with old friends and drinking inappropriately small cocktails.

(2)  Getting to borrow (and "accidentally" steal) my sister's clothes during a recent trip.

(3)  Family time during our trip (my mom was there too, but she doesn't like pictures of herself so I'm being nice and not including them...in this post)

(4)  My coworkers insist on running the AC way too cold during the day so I combat it by wearing my favorite zebra scarf.

(5)  Wine tasting with friends.  It's been way too long.

High Five For Friday

I started writing this post on Sunday of last week because I was in such a good mood.

And as I write this right now (Thursday night) I'm STILL in a good mood.

I mean...I'm not going to lie...there have been some bad moods in between, but this has been a pretty darn good week.

Here are my 5 favorite things about it!

(1)  The obligatory autumn blogger outfit and then I didn't blog about it.  But I felt very bloggery and very autumny all day.

(2)  Boots!  The first day back in boots!  It's very hard to deal with how much I hate wearing jeans, but love wearing those damn boots.

(3)  Oktoberfest and goober Oktoberfest shirts.

(4)  Quilt season is finally here.

(5)  Accepted for graduation.  Wahoo!

High Five For Friday

For the first time in a long time I actually had too many pictures to choose from for my H54F post.

That never happens.

Because...I'm kind of a whiner and Negative Nelly.

Not this week bitches!

Here are my five favorite things about this week.

(1) Turning off my week day alarm because I actually got Monday (Columbus Day) off.  That felt gooood.

(2)  Old friends coming to visit...it's been too long!

(3)  Spending an incredibly lazy holiday in pjs on the couch cuddling with my husband.  This never ever happens you guys.

(4)  Cocktail party success!

(5)  Realizing I can just curl my new short hair.  Duh.

High Five For Friday!

I started writing this H545 post on Tuesday morning because I woke up in a really good mood.

THAT my friends is rare.

Here are the 5 best things about this week!

(1)  Finally getting the office finished and cute.  Ever since grad school this room has been a train wreck and now that I don't have to spend every night in there miserable, I figured it was time to make it cute.  (Just in time to move away)

(2)  Finding Mike's to do list before our party this weekend.  This made me literally laugh out loud.  I love that weirdo.

(3)  Now that school is (finally) over, we get to catch up on our shows that we abandoned while I was too busy.  Good tv + actually hanging out with my husband = awesome.

(4)  Being officially and awesomely done with grad school and getting an A in my last horrible class!

(5)  The weather finally be nice enough to start taking these little beasts for walks every night.  Look how happy it makes them!

High Five For Friday!

It's finally Friday!

This week had dragged by, but it's been amazing.

Mostly because I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL!

You would think I'd do a whole blog post on this based on the amount of blog posts I've dedicated to whining about it.

But, I've lost the energy to type the words grad school that many times.

So here (on top of that) are the 5 best things about this week.

(1)  Random, pointless, new owl vases and finding out that my favorite coworker bought the same one on the same day. (I got mine at Kirkland's, you can get a way more expensive version here.)

(2)  Rare lunch dates with this guy. (His hair looked amazing that day)

(3)  The big haircut.  I still can't believe I did that.

(4)  Sleeping in late and cuddling with this guy.

(5) Did I mention that I'm done with school?!  Cue crazy face!!

High Five For A Couple of Weeks

I haven't done a High Five For Friday post in a while because...well...I haven't been in a great mood.

I've been stressed.

And fussy.

And had a cold.

And blah blah blah.

But I'm back bitches!

So here are the top five things from the last couple of whiny weeks.

(1)  Mike and I deciding that in spite of the complications, the opinions of others, and the fears, that we're going to go for it and do the big move.  I e-mailed him this picture after our decision with the subject line, "Shall we?"

(2)  This was Mike's view at dinner one night during his recent trip to Maryland.  Can't wait to join him there!

(3)  As much as I hated Mike being away, having a couple of girly nights was pretty nice.

(4)  The countdown to school being officially over...forever...and ever!

(5)  Nerdy, fun, boozy friend nights.  The best.

High Five For Friday

This week flew by.

I'm sleepy.

Here were the 5 best things about it!

(1)  VEGAS.  See here for 8 million more pics.
(2) Getting mentioned on twitter by one of my favorite incredibly inappropriate funny broads.  I fangirled a bit when I saw this pop up on my phone, not gonna lie.
(3) Finding out that our live class was cancelled for the next two weeks!
(4)  Applying for graduation.  Holy hell this whole deal is almost over!
(5) Discovering cow tails.  How did I not know these delicious effing things existed?!

High Five For Friday!

Right now, as you read this, I'm driving to Las Vegas.

I cannot wait.

Girl needs a cocktail.

Bad.

So other than the gloriousness that is not working today and going to one of my favorite places, here are the 5 best things about this week!

Notice the hubs poses normally and mom and I can't help but be weird.  Story of our lives.

(1)  random presents from the mom including shorts with sailboats on them...SAILBOATS...I'm freakishly excited about them
(2)  hanging out at my mom's while hubs fancifies her bathroom and making them take self-portraits with me
(3)  finding the two most obnoxious patterns available at Kmart (I'm wearing that dress right now - fun fact)
(4)  being home by myself, watching Sex In the City, with a corgi pillow
(5)  going for a run even though I didn't want to and kicking its ass (also my ponytail looked really good)
