This month - shit, this year - have just flown by. At times I want it to slow down, but then others - like this week - I want it to speed by because in a few short days we will be in Mexico. Living like carefree, kidless folk for a few days.
If you need me next week, I will be here.
And I cannot wait. Because if I have to hear the words "polar vortex" any longer, I might just cry.
But for now, it's Friday. And on Fridays I like to talk about five things.
{one}
I ordered this top from Style Lately the other day and I'm loving it. I've paired it with leggings and a cardi, but can't wait to wear it with maxis once it gets nicer. I mean, it will eventually get nicer, right? It just has to.

I also picked up a new habit. Or I guess you could say picked up an old habit again. A new drive-thru Starbucks opened up on my route to work. It's right outside the one thats inside Target, but of course, I couldn't drag my ass out of the car to get a coffee before, so now it's just oh-so-convenient and I've been stopping in the mornings for a venti cappuccino. Mmmm..coffee.
They also have these asiago pretzel things. Not that I've had one or anything. A warm pretzel covered in asiago cheese? Who would want to eat that for breakfast? Not this girl No, not at all.

I know some of you joined me in the February Squat Challenge. Today is the last day and we can finally give our legs a little rest! I will admit I was hard core for the first 10 days and then I missed a couple here and there, but I've stayed somewhat on course since then. Today ends it at 250 squats - finished mine this morning and it felt good!
Although I'm pretty sure my back end doesn't look like hers....not sure what gives.

Thank you all so much for the feedback on my post last Friday about
This week we had house photos taken for our listing, checked out three new homes, had a painter come to give a bid on the house, listed our house and had our three showings.
Makes me think about how much I will miss our place. It may not be much, but it's been little home for the past seven years. And our first home together.
Ok enough reminiscing. Let's be honest, I'm just so excited to get out of here and into a new place. Can I get an AMEN?

Okay so many things. More than five. But I'll limit for your poor eyes. Your house is decorated like a magazine. Wow. At first I thought you were being facetious showing photos from Pottery Barn and passing them off as your own. So gorgeous. I want to go to that resort. Yesterday. The shirt is adorable. Love the pop of gold. And congrats to you and your ass! Well done!
ReplyDelete1: SO not fair. I'm going to act like I don't hate you for going to Mexico! Ahh sip a few margaritas for me babe!
ReplyDelete2: I love that LOVE shirt! I would totally but it if I was willing to spend $35 on a T-shirt!
3: How do your buns look? :-P I'm going to have to attempt this for real for March!
Oh let me clarify, girl - it was on sale for $16 when I got it. I should've mentioned that. Definitely wouldn't pay $35 for it...not in this lifetime! =)
