Friday favorites

For those of you who are keeping track and realize I usually post on Tuesdays, don’t panic! We haven’t gone back in time, it’s still Friday (Fabulous Friday!). I decided to try something new. I’ll post my usual musings on Tuesdays, and on Fridays I’m going to post my Friday Favorites–happy things that happened during the week. My own (not quite as funny) version of Thank You Notes.

Thank you Kendall-Jackson Merlot for easing the stress of a busy workday.

Thank you PiYo for the post workout feeling of invincibility–and even for the muscle soreness the next day, which reminded me that I WORKED. And thanks to Jenny Beauregard for introducing me to the joys of PiYo.

Thank you Chick-Fil-A for the Spicy Southwestern Salad. I am in love–no really IN LOVE.

Thank you Mother Nature for the beautiful clouds and the mountains on which to set them.

Friday Favorites

What about you? What were the highlights of your week? Please do share–pretty please!

Am I the only one for whom food and drink rank so high on the list?

My fellow Starbucks addicts, what is your drink of choice? Do you ever mix it up with something else?

  • Friday favorites: Mother Nature’s finery

    Mother Nature is pretty amazing. So many of us humans spend way too many hours (and dollars) trying to cultivate the perfect yard—a beautifully manicured lawn, framed by meticulously laid out flower beds, with a pond over here, next to this tree. Just let a dandelion or mushroom pop up, and we’ll snatch it out…

  • Friday favorites: signs of spring

    This Friday Favorites is all about the signs of spring (well mostly about the signs of spring; I might have thrown in some other random stuff that made me smile). Let’s start with the flowers.

    Eighteen years is a long time; about a third of my life at this point. That’s how long Larry and I have been married now. Those of you who are friends with me on social media have heard ad nauseam about our anniversary celebration. I apologize in advance; here I go again. This is the last…

    It’s true that our lives are made up, not so much of big, momentous occasions, but more of many small moments strung together. It’s been a week of simple pleasures for me. Starting with this impressive cloud display and the heavy rains that followed. It’s been a while since we’ve had rain like that around here….

  1. Highlights of my week were Aria scoring her first goals in soccer and attending her Preschool graduation.
