High Five for Friday!

Every Thursday night I'm amazed that I'm already preparing a post for Friday again.  I am so ready for it though.  I think when I push the snooze alarm for an extra fifty minutes on Thursday morning, that's pretty much signaling I am D.O.N.E. for the week.

1.  This past weekend was so much fun.  We took our Godsons to Greenfield Village for their Halloween walk.  It's over a mile long and it winds through the whole village with carved jack-o-lanterns lighting the way.  The boys got candy, we walked through a haunted bridge and a haunted wood forest and saw the Headless Horseman.  We had perfect weather which made it even better.  There's nothing like a beautiful October night for a walk.

2.  Our friends came over for dinner on Tuesday night.  We made a pot roast and got a chance to catch up with them since their wedding last month.  They told us all about their honeymoon to Costa Rica (so freaking beautiful!) and we played some cards.  It's wonderful to hang out and catch up with our closest friends, especially since we all have such busy schedules now!

3.  I have been drinking my kale, spinach and avocado smoothies every morning and it is improving my skin so so much!  My skin is much more clear, more dewy and it has been making my body feel great, too.  I got Joey on the smoothie train, so he is having one every morning, too ;)

4.  We are already winterizing our sprinkler system!  I can't believe it's that time of year already.  We got the last tree planted on our property that we needed this week, so we are officially finished with the basic lawn requirements.  Man, it takes a lot to turn a dirt lot into an actual yard.  Next year should be much easier to keep up with so we can focus on the patio!

5.  We are leaving for the Bahamas in one month! ONE. MONTH.  We have both jumped on the workout train again, and man am I feeling it!  Ab Ripper X from P90 X is no joke and just to torture myself further I have been throwing in Denise Austin's Boot Camp.  I am determined to be super toned for this vacation, so hopefully I will stick with it and see some great results.  While I was working out, I had a workout buddy join me:

She's looking pretty fit, don't you think? ;)  I love my little workout buddy, she's the best!

I hope you had a great week!  What is your favorite thing that happened this past week?  I would love to hear about it!  Don't forget to link up with Lauren, too!

the torture of packing.

Packing for a vacation is one of those things that I abhor, mostly because I have so many incidentals that have to be packed at the last minute.  A lot of my makeup routine has liquids that have to be checked under the plane, which I can't put away until I have my face on for traveling, thankyouverymuch.

50/50

I definitely had a 50/50 day today.  Had to work in the morning, and that was no big deal...until one of my client's mothers decided to call up and throw a shit fit over the phone about her princess daughter.  Good times.  The thing that burned me up the most was the fact that we bent over backward and kissed major ass to keep these people on our good side for 6 months because we knew they were laced with crazy and it STILL didn't matter. I get so sick of pouring my energy into these women for months and months and trying to keep them calm and docile and give them an enjoyable experience at our store and  it never matters.

Ugh. Send wine.

But the day quickly got better when Joey and I went to pick out selections for our new house!  It was so fun and holy cow, I can't believe how many options there are out there for EVERYTHING.  We're not done yet but we have a really good idea of how the whole house will look now.  So yay!  Hopefully they will break ground sometime soon!

So that was my day, and now I'm super tired so I'm gonna relax with J and the pups before I turn in.

Night-o!
