It is Friday again! I love four day weeks like this. It gives us more time to pack in smiles & laughter & fun & makes the cruddy stuff less cruddy. Here is the five spot:
1. I just got these lovely Birkenstocks in the mail! I had been longing for a pair the past few months {and when a lady in my writing group showed up with some Birks I just *knew* I couldn’t wait any longer}. I have been wearing TOMS most exclusively for a good long while and though they are adorable and trendy, they are also feet killers. Like KILLERS. I am old I tell you! So I bought these beauts off ebay for 31$! Can’t beat that! Also I feel very nostalgic since the last time I wore them was in high school when my BFF and I were obsessed with them. and yes I am wearing socks. At the end of May. Because I live in Washington.
2. My sister had a little singing show in my neck of the woods last weekend and I had the *pleasure* of joining her. The best part {besides her amazing vocals} was the margarita we downed with laughter. We also decided on our next tattoos. I will give you a hint: It has to do with my sister 
3. BIRCH BOX! My May BB arrived in a highly anticipatory fashion because it was my first one! So fun. It was like opening a stocking in May. It was like getting all the fun products you want but wouldn’t splurge on. It was like, my crappy morning over *gently attempting to get my child to take their multi-vitamen* became less crappy and more sparkly. Because now I have blue glitter eye liner. And I am rocking it. In my yoga pants. Because that’s how I roll. Truly though, it is a 10$ a month subscription, you get a box of deluxe sample {or full size!} goodies in a pretty box with a bow. If you sign up say I sent you {I get shopping credit!}
4. I fled the house last night {second night in a row…it was that kinda week for me…}I had dinner {soup, salad, breadsticks} set and the moment Jer walked in the door I exited. I had a 6:30 movie to get to! And dinner to buy. Which was a medium popcorn and cherry coke. Don’t judge. I needed to laugh. And I did to my favorite sort of movie. What To Expect was much better then the reviews and just what I needed. I went by myself as anyone who knows me knows that is one of my favorite indulgences. No one talks to you for 2 HOURS STRAIGHT. There was one other woman at the theater {it was a Thursday night}, alone as well. And even though I didn’t speak to her {I’m not that freaky} I still felt like I got her, like I knew what her week was like, where her head was. I felt in it with her. That felt nice.
5. I BOOKED MY ROOM FOR ORLANDO 2013! I know. I am just a *little* excited. Can you tell? When I attended in March I had an amazing time. It was a no brainer that I had to go again and see some of the most beautiful women on the planet. I think there are some spaces still available. If you are a mom parenting kids from trauma you. must. make. this. happen.
There you be peeps. I am in a really weird mood this morning so excuse anything that seemed *off*. I am still working on my first cup of coffee.
Reading this while in labor! Love the new birds! Ok I pad birks!
I had a similar escape to see What to Expect, a few weeks ago. It was lovely, except I was such an emotion mess that day, that I cried off an on for the entire movie! And we won’t talk about the Goodwill trip prior to the movie, where I had a sob fest in the dressing room. Good grief : ) Happy weekend, friend!
okay so funny. i love that you are a good will lover like me. and yes i cried a bunch in the movie as well. my friend had a baby on monday and another friend is in labor right now and i am just so sad not to be pregnant but SO glad not to be- and yeah, it made for a bunch of tears throughout the movie. xo
WHAT?!?!? You went to our movie without me?!!?!?
I ordered birch box, hope you got the credits
I can’t wait!!
I may have to order that birch box! How fun is that?! Are you up for seeing that movie again? I still want to see it. Maybe next week? I know someone who has a birthday…
And remember my isi whip cream thing that I wanted?? Adam finally got me one!
Your Birkenstocks are so pretty, and they look much better with socks!
