Starting the Weekend Off Right

The other day my sister and I were discussing what kind of animal we think we were in a past life.

Clearly, my dad was a fish.  I don’t know why, but that was the answer we both thought of.

Me: “So what was I?”

Beanie: “A crab!”

Not so far off, considering I’m a Cancer, but I’m pretty sure she was referring to my attitude and lately I have felt pretty crabby.

I may seem all sunshine and butterflies over here on the blog, but for the past few weeks, I’ve been tired, irritable and out of it.

I’ve decided to snap out of it.

Sometimes you just need a dose of cute pictures and some snapshots to remind you of the things you should be happy about. 

And the fact that it’s Friday doesn’t hurt either 😛

Things That Make You Smile:

Grilled corn.

Congratulations, self, you grilled corn for the first time ever!

Without burning the apartment complex down <— I’m not the grill master in this household.

And it was actually DELICIOUS.

Let’s ignore this minor detail…

Making it halfway through a beast of a book.

Perusing Pinterest. 

Aka baby leg warmers.

And baby zebras.

Baby zebras running, to be exact.

Wait, is that a zebra??

Attempts to decorate.

Taking an “artsy” photo = a way to disguise the fact that these shelves are not exactly straight…

More decoration attempts.

 

We wanted a big ol’ picture of New Orleans, but it turns out nice artwork is expensive.  Whowouldathought? 

So when we saw this framed picture of Union Station in Denver at Ikea (for $50, no less) we thought this would be a more realistic alternative.

Having an awesome entertainment center.

Please ignore the lack of organization on the shelves.  I’ll get around to that eventually…

$8 coffee tables, nuff said.

Pedicures.

 

I could have done without the part where the pedicurist made me bleed (for the second time in a row…), but I’m digging this light pink.

Baby Mini eggs.

I guess all eggs are babies, right?

Someone at work gave Joey some eggs from their farm (where their chickens eat real grass (or whatever chickens naturally eat) and aren’t locked in cages), score!  Joey cracked open a bigger egg and it had two yolks inside.  Weird!

And if none of that makes you smile, there’s always Friday morning pancakes.

And Friday afternoon happy hour and Friday evening dinner party.

I don’t know about you, but it’s all smiles over here 🙂
