Five on Friday - Favorites

Hello, Friday.  I’ve been waiting for you all week!

We’ve had another rough week this week… we fought ants all during the earlier part of the week (although, they seem to have ceased since the pest control people came – thank goodness), Olivia is still waking in the middle of the night each night which has resulted in us losing lots of sleep, work has been crappy, Jacob has been sick, Olivia has been really sick, and now B is coming down with whatever the kids have had.  I have been so frazzled that I completely missed Maui’s vet appointment Tuesday morning.  I just totally forgot.  And ladies, I have never missed a single appointment in my entire life.  Sigh.  2017 is just not off to a good start.  I keep thinking each week that it’s going to turn around, but so far… nope. 

It could be much much worse, I know, so I’m trying to stay positive because that is, after all, one of my New Year’s resolutions, and we are all so blessed in many other ways.  :o)  So to start the weekend on a positive note, let’s talk about some favorites!

O N E – Valentine’s Décor

Wednesday night I finally had a few spare minutes to pull out the Valentine’s décor and I was pleased as punch when I came across my black and white pitcher that I had gotten at the Target dollar spot last year.  You guys, I’m going to love this thing forever.  I think I need to make it part of my permanent home décor.

T W O – New Phone

As big of a pain as it was to get switched over, I am loving every second of having this new iPhone!  I had forgotten what it was like to have a phone that stayed charged all day!  It’s so convenient!  My old one was so bad, it was practically a landline. 

T H R E E – Featured

The sweet ladies of The Blended Blog featured my post about how I wore something different every single day for a whole year.  Check it out!  And you can see my original post here.

F O U R – Mind Blown

Y’all probably already know this little tidbit of information, but I just had my mind blown at the discovery of something this week.  Did you know that Jack from This is Us is Jess from Gilmore Girls?!?!  Every time we watch This is Us, I always think that Jack’s voice sounds so familiar but I can never figure out why.  The other night while we were watching, Brian paused the TV and said, “Is Jack from This is Us Jess from Gilmore Girls??”  So we Googled it, and yep, it is! 

I know a lot of you are probably face-palming right now because, duh, this is common knowledge, but y’all, I had no idea!!  I never watched Gilmore Girls and we are only just now binge-watching season two right now.  Also, it’s been 15 years since GG so the actor has matured and grown a heap of facial hair since then, too.  Haha.  I guess you can see how I wasn’t able to make the connection.

F I V E – Another Dress for the Ball?

Well, you guys voted on dresses for me last week, and the vote was split pretty evenly between #1 with sequins and #3 with black lace.  I decided to go with the sequins since they are more fun, but then I came across two new dresses online that I think I like better than all of those other options.  What do you guys think?

The original sequins dress that you saw last week?

This red dress?

Or this white dress?

The red dress and the white dress are only online so there’s no way for me to try them on, but for free shipping and free returns - AND HELLO, THE PRICES! - it wouldn’t be a problem to just order them both and return whichever one I don’t want (or both if they are hideous in person). 

So assuming that those dresses fit me like they do on the models (ha!) which one do you gals like the best?  Sequins?  Red?  Or white?  I’m seriously drooling over those sleeves on the red one.  It is so classy!

Thanks in advance for your vote, and happy weekend!
