Frigid High 5 for Friday

 

My week in a nut shell sums up this weeks high five for Friday.

1. My mom's sugar cookies. The recipe is so worn, but I swear they get better by the batch. It just doesn't seem like Christmas season without them.
2. Bruno. Jay rescued Bruno when he was a pup and I'm so glad he did. There's nothing better than seeing your dog look for you when you pull up. I read somewhere a little boy defined loves as, "...when you dog licks your face and wants to play after you left him home alone all day." I couldn't agree more.
3. Burlap. I've been making burlap banners as a hobby and to take my mind off of our infertility journey. While I have sold relatively few, the sense of fulfillment I get when someone buys one it unreal. I've always wanted to quit the 9-5 office world and start my own thing. I know the hours would be more, but it would really justify my purpose in the work world. I think it would help fill a sense of purpose in the void infertility has left in my heart. I do wish I had more support to do this; my husband believes in me though and that means the world.
4. Not loving the cold weather here. However, seeing the forecast say "Frigid" did put a smile on my face. 
5. Jay. He's my rock. Having the big IVF conversation is never easy, but he did it. He's always listened to what I say and then listens beyond what I say to hear what my heart says.

High Five for Friday 

High Five for Friday 

1. Owls. I heart them. I found this one at Joann's Fabrics and made it custom for our house.

2. Paints. I made this painting/wall hanging a while back and fall weather made me re-fall in love with the colors. It made me think of fall and thinking of the next adventure in chapter.

3. My new vinyl wall cling. A nice  daily reminder that there is no one-size fits all in beauty. 

4. Golfing with the fam. My dad calls my husband to go golf more than he calls me...and I love it!

5. SoDak sunsets. Turn on the country music and this sunset will fit right in. "I'm going to live where the green grass grows.." I took this off my front porch. Does it get any better?

One not so high five for Friday: my sister moved. It makes me sad panda. If you want to see the saddest thing, look at a panda bear that's sad. That's how I am right now.

High Five for Friday

High Five for Friday is a weekly link-up hosted  at Lauren Elizabeth (love her blog). It's a chance to reflect on your week and remember some (five, to be exact) of your favorite things about it. This is my first week and here's a taste of what I'm loving this week:

1. I know Jello shots are a very college thing to love, but I do love them. My mom and I (goofy I know) make them for tailgating. It's so fun to see young and old people connect at our tailgate spot because of a simple Jello shots. College students (21+) and alumni in retirement connect and meet because we bring these. It's so fun. Who doesn't love to tailgate? Great food, drinks, and great people!
2. My new seat covers. My mom is this uber talented sewer and she made these for me without a pattern in an hour! We got the fabric 70% off at Hancock Fabrics this weekend, so the total cost was about $12. I honestly love seat covers for my car. I have a dog that sheds a lot and these covers save me. My seats look brand new because I've always had seat covers.
3. My new owl. Again, 60% off at Hancock fabrics. I like all of the colors. It adds a little bit of fun and silly to my office. I don't think offices need to be so stuffy. I work at a university and I want students to feel comfortable when they come in.
4. My new niece Lanie is so stinkin' cute. She's been filling my extra time. I'm hosting a baby-q co-ed shower tonight. I'll post later to let you know how it goes.
5. My husband and my pup. Ok, he's an old man not a pup, but I heart these two big time. The weather's been cooling off at night so we can all enjoy a drink, a fire, and eachother's company at night.

Cheers to the weekend!
