Friday Fav’s

Happy Friday, everyone!

Woo this week seemed to just fly by, didn’t it? Lots to do to keep me busy, but hopefully this weekend should be nice and relaxing. Yesterday I realized that I only have 6 more days left of being 25 (Really. Seriously. How did I get this old?!?!), two weeks until my baby sis graduates from college (Really. Seriously. How did she get so old?!?!) and  a month until I get to pack up my things and head on up to Milwaukee for a summer full of fun (Really. Seriously. How did I get so lucky?!?!)!

I. Can’t. Wait.

Before all that happens though, I’ve got a weekend to enjoy!

I hope you’ve got some fun penciled into your calendar this weekend too and in the meantime, please enjoy my favorite finds from around the web in this week’s Friday Fav’s!

Click the light blue links to be taken to the original source.

Favorite Fashion: No striking out with these Baseball booty shorts. Are these for real? I need. I want.

Favorite funny: Spinning Hawaiian Monk Seal. I have no idea why this is so funny, but the longer you watch, the funnier it gets. BAHAHA.

Favorite bling: Kate Spade Idiom Pendant Necklace. I saw these at the Kate Spade store in Charleston and was this close to pulling the trigger, but didn’t for some reason and am now, of course, kicking myself for it. The shiny, colored-circle pendants are simple, classy and cute. Plus they all have different little sayings on the back - hello sunshine on the yellow, make a splash on the blue. Fun!

Favorite woah: Once in a Lifetime Shots. I’ve seen a bunch of these slideshows before, but this one is pretty cool and includes a flock of flamingos in the shape of, wait for it, a flamingo!

Favorite breakfast: Banana Bread French Toast. Banana bread pancakes I’ve heard of, but french toast?! Come to mama!

Favorite furball. Call me crazy (go ahead, we’ll wait) but I have always thought dog noses and mouths are so CUTE! Right?! Awww.

Favorite Funky Find: This is THE coolest chair ever! Just give me a book (or five) and a cold glass of lemonade and I’ll be one happy camper!

Favorite photo: I dare you to not smile after looking at this

Favorite scoop: Cinnamon Toast Ice Cream. I can now have a legitimate reason to have ice cream for breakfast. YES!

Hey friends!

It’s Friday.

And boy am I glad. I’ve been suffering from a serious case of next-dayitis; my Monday was my Tuesday, my Tuesday was my Wednesday, etc.

One more reason why I am super excited that it’s Friday?

There is only one more Friday that stands between me and Opening day of the Milwaukee Brewers!!!! I may or may not have already started packing. Speaking of packing, I’ve noticed that most of my luggage consists of winter coats, long underwear, Brewer hats, mittens, scarves and boots. Judging from the lovely Wisconsin spring weather that they have been having up there, this game is going to be a bit chilly, feeling more a Packer game than a baseball game.

But that’s okay.

Even more reason so drink beer and eat lots of hot dogs/nachos/giant pretzels to stay warm, right?

But between now and then, there stands this amazing weekend I’ve got planned. Tomorrow I’m having a gals’ day with my girl Eric, shopping till we drop and then on Sunday, I’ve got a long day of playing DVR/Nook catch-up. It’s supposed to be rainy and icky out both days and I can’t think of anything better than cuddling up with a good book, an episode of The Office (can you believe its that last season?!), and my pup to keep me company (and by keep my company, I mean sitting on my lap on the ready just in case a piece of my cookie or sandwich happens to fall within his drooling grasp–gotta love him).

The. Best.

I hope you’ve got some fun activities on the horizon too, and in the meantime, please enjoy my favorite finds from around the web and beyond in this week’s Friday Favorites. Have a great weekend!

Favorite sweet: Chocolate-covered Pretzels. Cookies. Chocolate-covered pretzels IN cookies. Yes! Yes! My goodness yes!

Favorite furball. I’ve looked at this photo at least 100 times this week, and it cracks me up every single time. I love how he (or she) is staring at a spot on the wall, concentrating SO HARD on getting that little tongue to curl. Precious!

Favorite devour: Italian Drunken Noodles. The only thing I like better than this blog post (it’s a great read) is the recipe for Italian Drunken Noodles within it. Total comfort food – I am so down!

Favorite artsy-fartsy: Come with a story and leave with another. This artist creates artwork that have your favorite storybook characters hidden within storybook characters! How neat! Any guesses as to which story/character this guy comes from?

Favorite funky find: This is such a cool idea: a bean bag for your book. I must admit I sometimes have the darndest time finding the right position to comfortably read a book, and this seems like a pretty amazing way to solve that.

Favorite thrill: The First Flyer – Grindelwald, Switzerland. I have always wanted to go ziplining through a jungle, but I think speeding down a mountain on a 2,400 foot cable, reaching speeds of 55mph just about sounds like the most fun thing ever. Look at those views!

Favorite yum: Krispie Treat Pinwheels. Snap, crackle, pop into my mouth! How cute (and easy to do)! With Easter just around the corner, these tasty little guys are sure to be a big hit!

Favorite Life Lesson: My friend Chris posted this on Facebook the other day and it really resonated with me. “There are two types of people in this world: those who are inspired, and those that inspire.” Which one are you?

Favorite fashion find: Need I say more?

Favorite project: Travel Keepsake Kits. I always have the best intentions of making photo books when I come back from fun trips but it rarely ever happens. A fun keepsake kit to hold maps, ticket stubs, and other fun mementos is an awesome alternative!

Favorite funny: And that, my friends is how baby carrots are made. Cannot. Stop. Giggling. And yes, I have the maturity level of a five year old.

Friday Fav’s

Hey dudes and dudets!

So.

Guess what?

IT’S FRIDAY!!!!!!

(Actually it’s Friday-eve but I was too excited to wait until then)

Holy moley am I glad!! My momma is coming up this weekend to visit and we’ve got all sorts of fun shenanigans planned. Shopping, eating good food, hitting up the movies, eating even better food, taking the pup for a hike, going into a food coma from eating so much and then continuing to eat even better than better food…

Oh yes.

I am excited!!

So.

Guess what take two?

I’ve got an amazing edition of my Friday Fav’s to share with you all! It’s been forever and a day since I’ve given up my top finds of the week and I am pretty stoked to let you all in on some of my gnarliest pictures, recipes, funnies and randomoniums from the web and beyond! As one of the little kiddos from work said to me the other day after so sweetly handing me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sticker, “I hope you yike!”

Favorite help: American Red Cross Disaster Relief. As I mentioned, the devastation on the east coast caused by Hurricane Sandy continues to sicken and sadden me. Please consider donating to the American Red Cross’ disaster relief fund to help our friends in need, if you are able!

Favorite project: The Penny Project. How cool do these shiny, copper-looking letters look in this kitchen, which literally cost pennies to make?

Favorite fashion find: Step aside M.C. Hammer, these book pants take the grade. They’re super comfy and, if you get board, you can always just look down and start reading your legs

Favorite funny: Speaking of TMNT…high-five if you know what this is/represents!

Favorite indulge: Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Torte. All. The. Things.!!

Favorite place: Salzburg, Austria. Can you imagine how beautiful this place must be around the holidays, with twinkling lights and a light dusting of snow?

Favorite ‘I-Do‘: Now THAT’s how you propose! Guys, take notice

Favorite slurp: Tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons?! Get out of town! It is just starting to get cool here; fall in in the air which makes this a perfect lunch and/or dinner (or let’s be honest, a snack). Yumm!

Favorite quote: These are my days…

Favorite bun-in-the-oven photo op: I am SO doing this when I have a little bambino. How adorbs!!

Favorite Seinfeld moment (at the moment): She had man hands! That poor girl may have had man hands, but I think I have man feet. I was trying on some really cute boots the other day and the only ones that fit these canoes I call feet were size 11. 11! Yikes-a-bee! And you know that they say about girls with big feet don’t you? They wear big shoes

Favorite pooch. Awww! Fall foliage furball!

Favorite ‘get in my bellly’: Loaded Cookie Bars. Mmmm – look at the dense, squishy goodness.

And on that note, I am off to start my weekend right…with one of those loaded cookie bars

Have a great one everybody!!

Question of the day:

Any fun plans for the weekend?

What are some of your Friday Fav’s this week?

 

 

Friday Fav’s

Happy Friday my peeps!

How goes thangs?!

I don’t know about you but I am sooooooo glad the weekend is just around the corner and to the left. Or is it the right? Whatever direction it is, I know I am heading towards it with full force. Do you have fun things planned?

I have a big couple of days in the works myself; some retail therapy (the best of all the therapies in my opinion unless of course we’re talking ice cream treatments and then it’s a whole other story), some celebrating with my momma who just landed a new teaching job (soooooo proud of her!!!), some reading (just got a few good reads including this and this on my Nook which I am dying to get lost in) and some Olympic watching (who else is sooooooo excited that they kick off tonight with the opening ceremonies?!)

Before I get too ahead of myself though, I just have to share with y’all my Friday Fav’s from this week which I think, which I hope, you are soooooooo going to like!

Favorite Funky Find: USA Book Shelf. How cool would this look in a kid’s room or office?! Or my room?

Favorite Ridiculous Redo: Homemade Diva Ding Dongs. I can’t decide what’s more awesome – the creamy center of these individual-sized chocolatey cakes…or the name. Bahaha!

Favorite DIY: Painted Nail Art. Too cool. And too simple. Gotta try this!

Favorite Photo: It’s all about perspective. Neato!

Favorite Awwww Moment: This is a man who loves going to work and does not dread it the night before. Upon entering the Magic Kingdom, this oh so cute security guard said to the Alli, “Excuse me Princess, can I have your autograph.” The book was filled with children’s scribbles as the guard asked the same question of many little Princesses. Alli could not get over the fact that the guard thought she was a real princess. This just makes my heart smile! SO incredibly sweet!!

Favorite Bite: Homemade Margherita Pizza. Just imagine…you’re sitting at a charming cafe in the rolling countryside of Naples, Italy. The sun is setting, you just sat down with a glass of wine and you are digging into this mouth-watering, perfect tomato, cheese and basil pie. Heaven. You don’t have to travel across the pond to have a beautifully delicious night in Italy

Favorite Take Me There: Venice, Italy. Speaking of….sigh.

Favorite Future Flick: The Hobbit. I am geeking out about this. Like major. Cannot. WAIT!!!!

Favorite Pooch: Just working on my abs

Favorite Drool: Ice cream scoop pops. Holy all that is good and yummy in this world. This definitely adheres to the expression, “Once you pop, the fun don’t stop.”

Favorite Reminder: There is no one definition of beauty. Do NOT let others dictate what that meaning is for you. Ever. You are beautiful!

Favorite Page-turner: Emily Giffin’s ‘Where We Belong.’ I absolutely LOVE this author and have been obsessed with all of her previous novels. Once I heard she was coming out with another great read, of course I had to get myself on the pre-order list. I purchased this funny and heart-warming book two nights ago and simply devoured it. SO good! It gets a Wendi two thumbs up

Favorite Funny: YES!! This is SO a nerdgirl thing I would do!

I hope you guys have an amazing weekend! And don’t forget to tip

Friday Fav’s

Can I get a T.G.I.F.?!

Lordy, this week has semi crawled by. I’ve been experiencing day later syndrome all week (I keep thinking it’s Friday, for instance, when it’s actually Thursday – d’oh!) probably because I spent the beginning part of the week down in Valdosta hanging with my sister. I left on a Monday and came back on Wednesday which in my mind felt like a weekend vacation, throwing my whole schedule for a loop-de-loop.

It’s kinda sorta hard to get back into a routine after you’ve been living willy-nilly and without a plan of action for a few days isn’t? Reality set in once I logged on to my email and had a bazillion of messages from the University of Milwaukee about the fastly moving and upcoming start to the school year. September will be here before I know it which means flipping the switch in my brain to school and studying and exam and paper-writing mode.

And I can’t wait

But that is weeks away yet which means I, as well as you, still have time to celebrate and cut loose the rest of summer.

To help you get started this weekend, I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite finds from around the web in this week’s Friday Fav’s!

Favorite Fun: Sliding Rock in Brevard, NC. This 60 foot rock ending in a deep pool at the bottom has been naturally smoothed over thousands of years from rushing water. HOW FUN DOES THIS LOOK?

Favorite ‘Are you serious!’: Fart Be Gone! Flatulence Deodorizer Pads that let you, let it rip. WHAT?!?!?! Oh lordy…

Favorite Midnight Movie: Last night I couldn’t for the life of me fall asleep (don’t you hate when that happens?!). After tossing and turning, I got up and decided to turn on the TV for a while. My channel surfing stumbled upon Land Before Time and I knew I had to stop and watch. When I was little, I think I watched this VHS tape so much, I think it unraveled. This was and is one of my favorite movies ever, even if it has me reaching for the Kleenex and turns me into a blubbering mess every time I see it.

Favorite Foodie find: PINK! PINK! PINK! Get in my kitchen!

Favorite View: Nothing better in my opinion than enjoying a hot dog, an ice-cold lemonade, and a game at Miller Park. Nothing.

Favorite Brunch bunch: Who says you can’t have ice cream for breakfast?

Favorite Book haven: Brattle Book Shop at 9 West Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Pure heaven.

Favorite Pooch: Looks like this little guy found his Happy Gilmore happy place

Favorite Wall Wowsas: Chalkboard paint! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea!

Favorite Slurp: Oreo Milkshakes. You had me at Oreo milkshakes. YUM! Perfect on a hot day. Or a cold day. Or an any day

Favorite Inspiration: “I believe.” I do believe. Gives me chills to think about the strength and faith that person had.

Favorite Photo: Dance like no one is watching. Even in the rain.

Favorite Drool: Cinnamon Toast Crunch cupcakes. Now I know how Pavlov’s dogs must have felt. Nummers.

Favorite Funny: An impasta! HAHAHAHA!!!

I hope you guys have an impastably great weekend

 

Friday Fav’s

If there’s something strange, in your neighborhood…who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!

Howdy y’all, and happy Friday the 13th! Muwahaha

Have you run into any black cats today? Seen any UFB’s (unidentified flying broomsticks)? I don’t really play into the whole ‘bad luck, freaky Friday (although how cool would it be to make a swap-a-roo via Lindsay Lohan–pre jail-bird and rehab conoisseur of course–and Jamie Lee Curtis??) stigma associated with this most unluckiest of days, but I did have a bit of a frightful moment happen to me earlier today. I got back from the gym having just sweated up a thunderstorm–I am telling you, I was a real hot mess, literally–and was SO looking forward to getting my cookies and milk on when to my horror, I went to the cupboard and realized I was out of Oreos. AHHHHH!!! Talk about terrifying! Needless to say I got my bum back in my car and solved that problem ASAP!

When you’ve got to g[Oreo], you’ve got to g[Oreo]

You want to know something that’s not so scary? Why, this week’s edition of my Friday Fav’s from around the web and more, of course!

Favorite Door Decor: DYI Flip Flop wreaths! How TOEtally cute is this?! And super easy and cheap to do.

Favorite ‘Are you kidding me?’: Sleeping bag w/pants. Going Camping Soon? Because hopping around in a sleeping bag would look ridiculous.

Favorite hike: Austria’s Green Lake in the Hochschwab Mountains is a hiking trail in the winter. The snow melts in early summer and creates a completely clear lake. The lake has a grassy bottom, complete with underwater trails, park benches, and bridges. So neat!

Favorite din-din: Caprese sandwiches. OMgooodnessgolly. Juicy and sweet heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and a sprinkle of basil. You had me at first bite. Now if only I could Mario Batali himself to come and make it for me

Favorite ‘grab the Kleenex moment’: This is by far the sweetest, most creative, most heart-tugging and cry-like-a-baby proposal I have seen in a long time. SO DARN CUTE!!!

Favorite question: Are you? If not, start today! It’s not too late to go after what you want, what you love.

Favorite midnight snack: Cookies and Cream peanut butter?! Jif who? This stuff is where it’s at!!

Favorite photo: B-E-A-utiful.

Favorite keepsake: Notecard and Postcard journal. This is such a cute idea. It’s a daily calendar that can be reused each year and gets better the longer you use it.

Favorite sugar rush: White chocolate and walnut blondies. Because everybody knows, blondies have more fun

Favorite pooch: Baby got back.

Favorite BEST NEWS EVER!!: Potter’s back, baby!!! Set about three years before the birth of Harry Potter, the story recounts an adventure experienced by Sirius Black and James Potter. Excuse me while I go and do the happy dance :) 

Favorite bodacious bread: Reese’s Peanut Butter banana bread. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better… 

Favorite funny: Little cooler. Get it? Because it’s a cooler. And it’s little. So he’s a little cooler?! BAHAHAHAHA!!!

I hope you enjoy these little finds from around the web and more this week.

And just in case, be sure to avoid walking under any ladders.

And be well stocked in Oreos

Have a great weekend guys!!

P.S. Coincidence that I have a total number of 13 fav’s this week? I’ll leave that up for you to decide

 

 

 

 

 

Friday Fav’s

Hey friends.

I hope you all had a great, and slightly abbreviated, week! I don’t know about you but I would SO be on board for a four-day work week.  My peeps over the pond in places like France, England and Italy really had pretty darn good idea and if it was up to me, we would adapt that same mentality here. Maybe someday…but for now, we all have the privilege of checking off the days on our Milwaukee Brewer desk calendars, counting down the hours until the clock hits 5 o’clock on that glorious Friday afternoon.

Speaking of Friday…

It’s here folks! All of our check marks of the week have finally reached TGIF. Do you have any fun stuff on the agenda?

I don’t have any particular plans as of yet, maybe hit up the beach, get a little messy in the kitchen trying out some new recipes like this and finish up a few books I’ve been dying/avoiding to put an end to. You know that feeling of wanting to complete a book but not wanting to at the same time because it was so good that you don’t want it to end so you start another book in order to avoid finishing the other one but this second book is also really, really good and you don’t want to see the ending of that one either so you keep starting new book after new book and then all of a sudden you have about six unfinished but almost finished page-turners just waiting to be finished just sitting on your nightstand looking back at you begging and pleading to be finished once and for all? Yeah. I hate that feeling.

But before I do (I am not avoiding. I am not avoiding.), I wanted to share my favorite finds this week from around the web and beyond

Favorite pooch: Been there, done that buddy. Look at his cute little eyes all closed in absolute delight

Favorite guilty pleasure: The Bachelorette. Okay. I swore I would not get sucked in. But boy did I ever get sucked in. Emily Maynard is down to the final three guys and the suspense is killing me on which of these cutie-pa-tuties she is going to choose. My vote is for one ‘F’ Jef although Sean is a close second. And if either of these dream boats don’t end up with the final rose in the end, hit a girl up :)

Favorite DIY: Button bracelets! SO cute and SO easy to make. A great way to use up that box of all your Grandma’s old buttons and end up looking pretty stylish at the same time!

Favorite mmm minies: Baby burgers!! I mean. How cute are these?! The perfect excuse to have three. Or four. Or seven of these delicious little bites and a great idea for a party or even a wedding reception.

Favorite must see: The Montmarte Wall in Paris, France. Le mur des je t’aime, Le square Jehan Rictus, Montmartre, Paris.  This wall has “I love you” written in 311 languages ♥ AWWWW!!!!!

Favorite ooey-gooey: Campfire cones. Why didn’t I think of that?! I seriously am thinking of going camping this weekend just to make these!

Favorite life lesson: Charlie Brown and Snoopy really get it.

Favorite photo: Seven hours. How neat is this picture?!

Favorite funky find: Take a lick at this…Flavored envelopes?! Nuh uh!! Genius.

Favorite sugar-inducing coma fix: NO, YOU AREN’T SEEING THINGS; this IS a giant Girl Scout Samoa/Caramel Delights cake.  Your dreams have OFFICIALLY COME TRUE!!! Or at least mine have.

Favorite check-list: Deal? Deal.

Favorite dream home piece: Readable bookcase. HOW COOL IS THIS?! Click the link to see it all filled it up. 

Favorite funny: I’ll never let go Jack. I’ll never let go

I hope you guys have a great weekend, whatever you’ve got ‘rolled’ up your sleeve

 

 

Friday Fav’s

Hey dudes and dudets!

I am SO very pumped that it’s Friday! Not so pumped that is feels like an oven outside–literally. I tried baking cookies on my driveway (MY DRIVEWAY!) earlier today and the chocolate chippers actually started to cook! Yikes-a-bee!

It’s supposed to be in the triple digits the rest of the weekend, way too hot to be outside, which is a perfect excuse to hit up the air-conditioned movie theater to check out this flick. Or grab your girlfriends and see this magic one. And the best part of it being so gosh darn hot? Why that I can, ne, feel obligated to eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

As I am waiting for my first pint of Chunky Monkey to thaw (at least I am being sure to get some fruit and nuts into my diet), I thought I would share with you some of my favorite finds from the web and beyond. Grab a Fudgsicle and a comfy seat and enjoy this week’s Friday Fav’s

Favorite Must-See Flick: People Like Us. While settling his recently deceased father’s estate, a salesman played by the not at all handsome Chris Pine, discovers he has a sister, played by the adorable Elizabeth Banks, whom he never knew about, leading both siblings to re-examine their perceptions about family and life choices. Full of heart and character, this movie looks to be a two full thumbs up on the Wendi scale. I can’t wait to check it out!

Favorite Pooch: I want to cuddle the crap out of this sweet bully!

Favorite View: On top of the Eiffel Tower looking down. Somewhere my grandpa is trying to hold down his lunch (he’s not one for heights).

Favorite way to get my daily potassium: Giant ‘Naner Split. Over 10 feet of cold and creamy and ice creamy goodness. perfect idea for your 4th of July parties (if you are not like me and actually want to share).

Favorite ‘why didn’t I think of that?!’: Cocktail Umbrella Lampshade. How cool is this?! So easy to make and perfect for all of those left over fruity drink accoutrements that you have lying around the house.

Favorite Diagram: The true reason why we all have five fingers

Favorite Tune: FUN’s ‘Some Nights’. I would be lying if I said I didn’t have this jam on replay. and that I don’t get up and dance every time it comes on.

Favorite Friday night dinner: Bombay Sloppy Joe’s. Delicious, fun and messy to eat. What more could you ask for?

Favorite Doo: I am SO trying this this weekend! Cute, no?

Favorite Place: Porto Katsiki-Leftkada Island, Greece. The name of this beach translates to “Port of the Goat” because it’s so remote that is used to only be accessible by goat. Breathaking!

Favorite Kitchen Accessory: The Happy Spoon. Cuz everyone needs a little more motivation to turn their frown upside down. And really, who couldn’t when stirring up a batch of cookies or digging into that Chunky Monkey with this?

Favorite Fun Run: The Color Run. This Picasso of a 5K is coming to Nashville in October and I am SO ready! If anyone wants to run with me, let me know

Favorite Funky Find: BBQ Boat. I’m on a boat. And bbqin’! I want this so bad, I can taste it! And with this, you can have your hot dog and eat it too…while lounging on the lake. LOVE!

Favorite Funny: BOOB. This explains so much

And on that note, I hope you guys have a great weekend. Try to stay cool, keep hydrated, and have fun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday Fav’s

Hey guys!

Have you all melted like Flinstone Push-Pops left on the porch on a hot summer day yet? My goodness has it been hot. Actually ‘hot’ is putting things lightly. It has been scorching, blazing, sticky, balmy, humid, sweat-in-places-where-you-didn’t-even-know-you-could-sweat HOT! And just in time too seeing as this weekend is the official kick-off to summer! I don’t know exactly what is up my sleeve for the next two days but I do know that it will probably involve a lot of swimming, a lot of sun, and a lot of emergency trips to DQ (after all, every one knows the perfect remedy for a heat wave is a blizzard…or three).

But before I apply the ‘ol SPF, I wanted to make sure to share with you my fav’s from around the web and more in this weeks addition of Friday Fav’s. Grab yourself a nice cool drink, put on your comfy ‘It’s Friday!’ shorts (I have a pair in every color) and enjoy

Favorite Pooch: Hot dog, I feel you. It’s been like 1,000 degrees here this week, and all I want to do is face plant in a bed of ice on the sidewalk!

Favorite Drool: Ice cream sandwich cake. You had me at ‘ice cream’. Yikes!

Favorite Photo: Mighty Mouse is sooo 1980. Mighty Ant? Now we’re talking! No matter how small or insignificant you may feel, always know that you have the power within to do anything. Just look to the ant

Favorite Flashback: Trolls! The wild hair. The Buddha bellies. The abscence of clothing. Oh so cute yet terribly disturbing at the same time. I LOVED them! So much so in fact that I used to collect them, having over fifty of the little guys.

Favorite ‘Pack My Bags’: Napali Coast, Kaui. Sigh…

Favorite Funky Find: Gives a whole new meaning to ‘Flipping Houses’ for sure! How crazy is that?!

Favorite Song: The Avett Brothers ‘I and Love and You’. I love how unique this band’s sound is, very calming yet rock at the same time (not to mention they’re total cuties!) Check them out

Favorite ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’: Pizza quesadillas. Genius! I’ll have a pepperoni and cheese please!

Favorite Laugh-so-hard-it-hurts Flick: An oldie but a freakin’ amazing goodie! Every time I see or hear or eat the word quesadillas, I think of…

Favorite Bling: His and her bracelets. Because my future boyfriend WILL love the Hunger Games.

Favorite Funny: ERMAHGERD!!! I totally had all of those books! And that sweater vest!

I hope you guys choose your own fun adventure this weekend.

And stay cool

Question of the day: What do you do to beat the heat? Any fun weekend plans?

 

Friday Fav’s

Hey guys!

We made it! Another Friday is upon us and you know what that means…

…why it’s time for another knee-slapping, foot-stomping, jump-for-joy addition of my Friday Fav’s, of course

I don’t any anything too terribly exciting planned for this weekend; my pup Thunder (I hope you enjoyed his guest post yesterday btw. The little turd thinks it’s funny whenever he hides his bone under the fridge and I guess the joke is on me because I fall for it every.time.) is a little sick so I probably will be spending a good deal of time taking care of him, the poor guy. The vet said he probably has just got a bad infection but with a little antibiotics and a lot of lovin’, he should be okay within a couple of days, thank goodness. Other than that, it’s supposed to be super nice tomorrow so a hike is definitely being penciled in and I also think a mad, mad marathon of my new favorite show Glee is in order! That, paired with some of my these babies, is total heaven in my book!

And on that sweet, sweet note, here are this week’s Fav’s from around the world wide web! Enjoy!

Favorite Sweet: Slutty Blondies. If loving promiscuous blondies is wrong, I don’t want to be right!

Favorite ‘No Way, Hosea!’: Lake Retba, Senegal. A PINK lake – HA! Apparently the lake’s hue is due to some harmless bacteria in the water. It’s also got a higher salt content than the Dead Sea, which makes everyone FLOAT like a boat. So cool!

Favorite View: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy. I want to go there. Like now. Like ‘I’m buying my airline tickets as we speak’ now!

Favorite Show: Glee! I know I am a little late to the class but holy guacamole, Sue Sylvester! This show is amazeballs! I may or may not want to start up my very own glee club. Okay. I totally do!

Favorite Pooch: Ggrrrr.

Favorite Kicking it Old School Moment: Scented markers. Middle school in a box. Was I the only kid who walked around with a red (cherry was my favorite!) and green and yellow and pink tipped nose from sniffing my homework?

Favorite Photo: If these walls could talk. There is something very creepy yet very majestic about this particular Kodak moment.

Favorite Snack: Chowza. One of my bestest friends created this heavenly mix of goodness which puts yo’ momma’s standard old puppy chow to shame (no offense to yo’ momma of course). Father’s Day is just around the corner which means that you should totally head on over to his website and order some for yourself. I mean your dad. Trust me, you, I mean your dad, will thank me! Oh just get some already!

Favorite Double Take: Life imitating art imitating life. Imitating art.

Favorite Bling: Dahnahnah nah nah nah nah nah…GO PACK GO! I have to get this!

Favorite Funny: The Beatles!! BAHAHAHAHA! Get it? It’s a beatle dressed as a beatle! BAHAHAHAHAHA. As you can see, I am easily amused.

I hope you all have a great rest of your Friday and an even better weekend friends!

Question of the day: What are your fun weekend plans?
