The Friday five.

Jumping back on the link up bandwagon :-)

1.I posted this picture to instagram the other night, as kind of a joke.  But, you all know how many articles/blog posts have been written about the “perfectness” of everyone’s life via social media.  And it is so true, who wants to post pictures of yourself doing the dishes or having a fight with your husband?  Clearly NO ONE…which is why social media is (for the most part) ALL HAPPY and RAINBOWS and BUTTERFLIES ALL THE TIME.  Collins is generally still a good baby…but she has, without a doubt, entered “toddlerhood” or also known as “Collins wants to do what SHE wants to do and WHEN SHE wants to do it.”  Obviously, we don’t let her do this all the time…but it’s kinda cute/funny/scary how she’s getting her own little (stubborn) personality.  This was the other night when she just wasn’t having me not holding her…of course I can’t hold her all the time, but of course I want to hold her and love on her as much as possible at nights, but I can’t let her “win” all the time or she will become a spoiled little girl, right?? Ha! Anyways, she definitely wanted “mama” to “up.” 

 

 

2.  Without a doubt, I am SICK AND TIRED OF THE RAIN.  I realize it isn’t doing this all over the county, but here in the south we have seen entirely too much rain lately.  I’m used to afternoon summer showers…but this is just ridiculous.  It has rained almost every day for the past two months, and I’m talkin’ thunderstorm type rain.  OVER IT.  It especially pisses me off when it comes on the weekend.  Like it’s supposed to this weekend….RAWR.

 

3. Mikey and I are having date night tonight and I am pretty stoked.  A good dinner with drinks and The Great Gatsby (finally!).  We don’t have to leave until 7:30 or so and Mikey’s mama is coming up to keep Collins so I’m excited as I love when I get to have nights out and it doesn’t really affect too much time with my girl. 

 

 

4. LOTS of big changes are coming around the Glenn casa in the next couple of months.  Our sectional is set to be delivered at the end of the month (woohoo!), my chair is finished getting reupholstered, I ordered SIX custom pillows off of Etsy for the new sectional out of two of my new fabrics, we bought a new fan (finally!) for the living room…I absolutely HATE the one in there now,  we will be building the new deck next weekend and the weeks after that, installing a fence sometime soon, and adding a little bit of new outdoor furniture for the deck.  I’m starting to really knock some things off my NEVER ending, SUPER long to do list!  YAY to that!

 

5.Some of my besties and I just booked our FLIGHTS to go to MIAMI in October for a bachelorette bash!  I am stoked.  I’ve never been to Miami/South Beach, and although I am sure the experience won’t be what it would for a single 20 - something (and I wouldn’t want to experience that at this point) I know without a doubt we will have a blast.  My time at Atlantis definitely proved I can still hang…although for the Miami trip I will be recently THIRTY…YUCK. 

 

Cheers to the weekend, friends!
