The past two weeks for me have been incredibly busy with lots of travel. And really crazy hours. I have decided that people who wake up at 5:30am on a regular basis are really just better than me. I cannot do it. I surrender! You are amazing, I am lazy. A 6:45 alarm is about as early as I want to go in the mornings.
Wednesday afternoon, I found out that I no longer needed to spend that night out due to an event cancellation Thursday, so I cancelled my hotel room for the night and hightailed it back to Charlotte quicker than you can say "homesick." It's great to be home.
Tonight we'll try out a new-to-us pizza joint in our neighborhood and just relax. We're doing some landscaping planning around our yard Saturday morning and will join friends out at a favorite bar patio for the Pirates game that afternoon.
So cheers to the weekend, and here are five things I've been loving lately!
{1} Blog Friends = The Best
I mean, really. Between fun times together like a recent girls night with Christina and Laura, and of course seeing some fun ladies recently at Dee's baby shower, and really just the sweet emails that I get during the day from bloggie friends that put a smile on my face ... I'm kinda in love with all of this.
{2} Dexter, My Main Man.
Hook, line, and sinker ... Ian and I are totally in. We've been making our way through the first season of Dexter thanks to Netflix -- and we can't get enough. Anyone else?!
{3} Pinterest Makes Me Crave Fall
Really, everything about it. Obviously there are the caramel apple bites, the mulling spices, the carved pumpkins, the layered clothing idea boards -- but what I'm also getting excited for is switching out our spring/summer planters for fall foliage. Ornamental kale, you have my heart. Thanks, Pinterest, for all of the inspiration and wallet damage.
{4} A Mascara Junkie's Fave
I'm crazy about mascara. I've professed my love before for L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen, but their recent addition to the line trumps it. This mascara is so amazing and -- most importantly -- under $10. It goes on smoothly, stays on all day, and comes off with my face cleanser and water.
{5} Fall Football
It's begun ... and we welcome it with open arms. Last weekend our group of friends got together to cheer on the ECU Pirates. Burgers, dogs, beer, and lots of great sides -- I could spend every single afternoon like this.
So happy weekending to you and yours, and hallelujah for the first official day of autumn on Saturday!
