Friday's Favorites

The last two days at work have been kind of a joke. I haven't had any work to do and so I've just been browsing the web and keeping myself busy... or at least looking like I'm busy.

So, on this gorgeous fall Friday, I'm going to share some bits of my week, including some new websites I found while I was "working" and some I reacquainted myself with that I already knew about.

Because it's what I do, I'm sharing it all in list form:

1. I thought Jim's speech about Pam at the rehearsal dinner was going to be dumb (after hearing parts of it on radio ads), but it actually brought a tear to my eye. And I thought it was great they ended up really making it their day and getting married on the Maid of the Mist. I don't care that they aren't a real couple, I think they are adorable.

2. If you don't know what I'm talking about in #1, please ignore me.

3. Hubby asked me last night if I was smitten with him. It made me laugh a lot.

4. He also made me laugh when he walked in on me (does that sound dirty to anyone else?) playing Farmville before work on Wednesday morning and before he could say anything, I said, "I haven't played in three days, so leave me alone," to which he replied, "So this is a relapse?"

5. Can someone please tell me why Farmville is so addictive? I just love taking care of my animated crops and farm animals and don't even get me started on arranging my cow, goat, pig, bunny, and elephant shaped topiaries.

6. About #5, again it's probably best to ignore me.

7. Reacquainted website love and laughter: Cake Wrecks. I even checked out the book they just released when I was waiting for my tires to get replaced yesterday (not a euphemism). The author of the blog and the book is hilarious and I recommend you check it out.

8. New websites and serious home decorating inspiration: Phoebe Howard (lots of great room photos at this link). Also check out her personal shopper's blog at Mrs. Howard Personal Shopper.

9. I bought some new clothes. I had been saving and waiting to cash in my rewards points on my credit card. I pretty much never buy new stuff for myself like that, but I'm glad to now have some new sweaters and such for fall.

10. I've got nothing more, really, but I had to make it an even ten, so yaaaayyyy for more blow up decorations at the Shell station that make me laugh but I haven't been able to take a picture of because I haven't had my camera but just imagine a giant blow up black cat whose head turns back and forth either in the wind or mechanically.

Hope you all had an awesome week and that your weekend is wonderful!

Blessings and Happy Friday!
