1. I love my striped bedroom chair. Just looking at it makes me happy.
2. I organized my makeup brushes on my dresser a la Gwen from Confessions of a Gila Monster. They need a little more work - I have to swap the round jar out for one of my square ones. I'm dying to try the polenta dish in that post too.
3. My happy place: cucumbers and cream cheese on a bagel and an icy cold V8.
4. It's time to change my wallet. I got these on super clearance at Target. Which to choose which to choose.
5. Spare room vignette: Love Makes Life a Beautiful Ride printable, old garage sale tray, candle, Grandmom's ring holder.
I am so so happy it's Friday. Here are this week's happies and crappies. I'm starting with crappies and ending with happies because I like to end on the up.
- Lots and lots of deadlines with a heaping side of stress and headaches for dessert.
- Butthole drivers caused me to miss my train on Tuesday morning.
- Then I was stuck on the train for an extra hour on Wednesday.
- This impending bastard winter storm has cancelled my weekend with my BFFs, which I could totally use right now. Suck it, winter.
- Precipitation makes MFD think he's a weatherman. He's been monitoring this storm and telling me all about the Gulf Stream and the European Model and the flim flam and the shim sham and I don't care we can look out the window and see the weather we don't need to study it. Sweet Brown, save me. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.
- In a few short hours, this week will be in the history books. There will be much rejoicing throughout my land.
- I was rocking my favorite nail polish, Essie Merino Cool.
- I'm all caught up on Downton Abbey. This is also a crappie, because now I'm like a crackhead jonesing for more Downton Abbey and no dealer in town has any.
- Even though I was looking forward to being with my girls this weekend and away from my everyday digs, the truth is I could probably use some major decompression this weekend after the week I've had.
- I hausfraued like a champ last night so I can lounge, read, cook, nap, and maybe do some organizational projects this weekend. Or I can find another show to watch obsessively for 14 or 15 hours a day.
- I signed up for the Lucky Leprechaun Book & Polish Swap. Visit Fortune Favors the Brave, Lulu & Sweet Pea, or My Three Bittles to sign up! Who doesn't love books and nail polish? If you say ME to both, we maybe can't be friends anymore. I need to decide which of my favorite books I'll be sending. It's safe to say I have my favorite polish picked out already. Someone's getting Essie Merino Cool. Boom.
Thank you so much for reading my blog. Good luck and have a great weekend! You can enter through the weekend. Spread the word and share the love!
New Englanders, start limbering up for the shoveling now. Stay gold, Pony Boy.
Linking up with The Sowell Life for The Friday Five and The Vintage Modern Wife and Scissors & a Whisk for Happies & Crappies.

ReplyDeleteStupid snow ruining your BFF weekend. Ain't nobody got time fo dat. Last Friday I went to the Container Store and bought a bunch of plastic trays and lipstick organizers for my makeup.

I LOVE V8. I thought I was the only one.
Best thing was passing my nursing boards on Wednesday. Worst thing was having a headache 2 days in a row.
ReplyDeleteI love your chair and those wallets! I really need a bedroom chair. I want a comfy place to read and not in bed with a sore back or neck. Ugh, my husband is the same way about weather. He seriously checks it like 5 times a day (even when it's just a normal sunny day) and knows all the lingo and constantly updates me and tries to rearrange our plans based on it. It's so annoying! It's Seattle. It rains. That's all I need to know. I kinda wish I had your relaxing weekend! Sounds like a perfect swap! And yay for a giveaway!! I definitely could use a mini Target shopping spree.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the best thing this week is that I'm going to the movies with my husband tonight. We need a date! The worst is that PMS hit me extra hard this week and I cried like five times. That never happens to me!!
ReplyDeleteBest thing this week is that I am all moved into my apartment. Worst thing is when I thought my daughter had been kidnapped on Wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteI love Target!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for offering such a wonderful giveaway. The best thing about my week is that Friday is finally here. The worst thing is I have put off going to the grocery store until the very last minute and now I'm out of everything.

The Tiny Heart
Necklace Giveaway!
PS HOW did I miss this before?!
ReplyDeleteThis week has been an emotional rollercoaster...
ReplyDeleteFirst off, My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half with a rough past and lots of loyalty mistakes and trust issues. I finally had a breakdown after thinking about all of the arguments and "other girls", and we nearly broke up... I don't deserve half the crap I put up with and I don't know if we are going to work in the future, but we talked the other night, and he clearly loves me and regrets everything, so for now, I am going to follow my heart and be with him...
Additionally, I had to work a cheer competition for 13 hours to fundraise for nationals because the UMD cheer team is going in April. At the end of the day, I found out that someone had taken my iPhone charger, and I walked back to my dorm in the rain...
AGAIN, I cheer yesterday at the UMD men's basketball game against UVA, and we lost...
Aside from spending time with my family, and going out to the movies with my roommate to celebrate her birthday, this week has been fairly HORRIBLE. haha.
Hopefully, things will pick up, and this week will be better.
The best things about the week is that I was able to spend time with my husband and the worst was that I had to go to the eye doctor because I scratched my eye.
ReplyDeletebest - getting approved for my new apartment
ReplyDeleteworst - getting approved for my new apartment
Honestly - So intenselt bittersweet and kind of consuming all though there are plenty of other things going on.
So to be fair I'll do best and worst unrelated to my impending doom.
Best - ability to almost fill my table for my very first fundraising lunch on the JA board - that was causing some serious anxiety!
Worst - Lunch at Chipotle, I just can't hop on that Chipotle wagon like everyone else, I couldn't even get halfway through and honestly, I don't turn down food very often
