Well this weekend we’re off to Knoxville to celebrate one of my best friends getting married!!! They already made it official in a small ceremony in July, but we’re heading down to Tennessee to do some celebrating with the lovebirds – yay!
Anyway, I have to run and pack – there’s nothing like waiting until the last minute to get these things done, right?! – so let’s get right into Friday Fours.
4 Favorite Things:
- Froyo. Fruit kebabs. Summer deliciousness in general.
- Long weekends (goodbye, Chicago! Hello, Tennessee!)
- Brave life transitions – I have so many friends going through some major transitions right now, and I’m so inspired by each of them!
- The book ‘Stumbling on Happiness
‘ – read it, buy it, let me know what you think! I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s totally changing the way I think about certain things in my life.
4 Confessions:
- Sometimes I’m not an ‘outdoorsy’ person, and yesterday I was reminded of why: I went outside to enjoy the sunshine and get my tan on, and even brought my lap top out so I could be productive continue g-chatting, and as I was sitting down, I somehow managed to sit on some sort of stingy-bug-thing. This bug didn’t die… oh no… instead he got upset and stung the &^%$ out of me. My poor booty is in pain and has sting marks all over the left side.
- I barely applied to any jobs this week. I just wasn’t feeling it. I need to get re-motivated!
- I did, however, finish an entire season of Real Housewives of Orange County. I’m not proud of this fact, but I’m still glad I’m caught up.
- I love road-trips and am really excited to spend a lot of hours in the car with the Husband this weekend! (He’s not half as excited as I am).
