Friday Five

1.  I made a giant cookie.  It's the best thing I've made in...months.  I *only* used half a cup of butter, as opposed 3/4 cup.  This is that perfect recipe I've been searching for.  Congo bars be darned..this is better.  I think next time I'll use 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup applesauce.

2.  I got a new phone case.  6 hours after I ordered it, Scott said, "Why don't you go get an iPhone 5?"  No. Why not?..I just spent $30 on an Otterbox.  That's why not.


3.  Every morning this week, I have hobbled out of bed.  I don't know how I'm going to keep up with these classes at the gym.  I know it'll get better (working on an exercise post for next week), but I keep pushing myself because clearly I wasn't even trying in Alaska when it came to exercise.  That's what these last few days have taught me.
By showing up everyday, I'm already making a few connections there.  That's the goal, right?

4.  Did you see my new blog button??  I'm super excited about it because I made it myself (bet you couldn't tell, right?).  I tried 2 or 3 different tutorials but they all ran into that blogger glitch that won't put the text in the grab box.  Angi came to the rescue, sent me a new code, and within a minute, I had a fully-functioning blog button.

(That's how exciting things got around here on Wednesday night.)

5.  Anyway, I lied.  I put pants on for like half an hour yesterday to run an errand (it was only 70* and to the people here, apparently, that's cool).  Then I switched back to gym shorts so I could, comfortably, eat more of that skillet cookie for lunch.

Shirt/pants: JCP // Sandals: Target

Happy weekend!

  1. I thought we were into full-on summer clothes here, but this morning I woke up and it was 63 degrees inside the house. I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep my same blog buttons forever because I cannot remember how to make one, I just remember it was annoying.

  2. I don't classify those as pants. They're acceptable. And those sandals are really cute! I should start going to Target again. Meh...

  7. I had a post written last night that was kinda mopey. Then I woke up this morning and life was looking really good. I read your post and realized I had to completely change mine...

    Thanks for the inspiration!
