Friday5: week 49We are rapidly approaching that 52 weeks mark (there have been maybe 5 weeks total that I haven’t done a Friday5). Whoa. Where did the time go? Enough to make a lady introspective about that shit? Is a year enough of my mug? I tend to think so but we’ll see. Will try to remember to allow enough time in my mornings to snap a quick pic before I roll on the road. This nighttime flash ain’t doin’ nothing for my rubberface. Happy Friday, all! <3 Enjoy your weekend.

What do I love this Thursday?

• Alex Noriega’s Stuff No One Told Me (#10 above). Awesome and true. All of them. Seriously. My brother sent me the one above because he said it reminded him of me. Awww…thanks, Dan! <3
• Dolores! My new bicycle—she’s a beautiful and classy lady. I’ll be introducing her properly soon. Just you wait.
• The notebooks I’ve added to my etsy shop. I came into 40 little cardboard notepad/sticky note combis and I’m illustrating them one by one and putting them up for sale. I’ll be giving away a custom one next week! I’ll post the giveaway information on Monday!
• Speaking of custom & the shop, the pre-season, pre-sale kicked off on Tuesday! One down, nine to go! Here’s hopin’!
• OCFamily.com (the magazine where I work!) calling me out and giving me some support in their awesome Storytime video segment. Kristin wears a different hat for each storytime and has been wearing rottencupcakes all week! Thanks to OC Family & Kristin! If you’ve got some kidlets, they might enjoy Storytime too!

So, what’s fueling your love machine this week?

This is actually our living room color palette and where it is evolving (bright yellow!) in our new place. It’s cozy but with a enough UNF to satisfy my urge to paint everything some eye aching shade of brightness.

Sidenote: The pre-season pre-sale kicked off in the wee hours of the morning! Go check out the shop!

Funny on several levels! HA. See you next post: on Tuesday! Have a glorious weekend!

Friday5: week 48 Friday already!? The week seemed to whip on by. Vroom. Sneaky at work pic for Thursday—OH SNAP—secret’s out. My big plans for the weekend hopefully involve me picking up my shiny new bicycle which will make me quite the happy lady. What about you? Got anything to look forward to this weekend? Happy Friday, dolls! <3

What do I love this Thursday?

• Ampersands!! All the time, I love them. The tiny start to my collection, above.
• Texting with my sister late at night. It’s much later for her but she always seems to be awake and it makes me a little less homesick. Thank you, Emmie.
• Yarn binges. I may have been online shopping two nights ago. I thought about buying a purse that I’ve been eyeing for 2.5 years because it was finally 50% off; but it’s quite large and I recently came to the revelation that I should carry smaller purses. So instead of a purse, I bought a bunch of yarn :X OOPS. Oh but goodness gracious, it’s some beautiful yarn.
• Some fancypants felt that I acquired that’s just itching (except not actually itchy—it’s super soft) to be turned into something darling.

What’s rocking your boat this week?

Ah, sweet young love. Innocent and thrilling with so much drama.

No hearts this week.
