Five?
Okay.
*** 5 good things ***
1. I got to talk to my dearest Samiie on Wednesday. That's right, Samiie: you get top billing :) I miss her terribly. It's been almost FOUR YEARS since I've seen this gal. Too long. I talked to her on the way home from work, and proceeded to spend the remainder of my night thinking about how/when I can move to Oregon.
2. Later on Wednesday I met some of my family in Lansing and we made a transfer of the MiniMon. We met at a store called Horrock's, which is essentially an indoor farmer's market. Annnnd I adore it. So yes, MiniMon is spending the weekend in Frankenmuth with all the mid-Michiganders who love her :)

| I seriously stood here and asked my sister (multiple times) where the coffee was. Yes, seriously. Ask her. |

| OH, and the coffee is phenomenal. (and shoppers are rewarded with free cups of coffee, btw!) |

| And yes, I bought 5 bags of it. |

| G.G. is waiting for a price check on Sol :) |

| She loves to shop... like mother, like daughter! |
3. So Sol is spending time with my family, and I'm home alone. I almost didn't know what to do with myself last night after work... almost. So I made the most amazing energy bars. I'm incredibly stoked about the way they turned out. It was an experiment, but I took good notes, so you can find the recipe here.
4. On my way to work today, I saw a car with a "slide to unlock" decal on the driver's side door. And I laughed out loud. Naturally, I didn't whip out my phone and snap a pic (I'm actually a very safe driver) - but here's a pic I found online. I WANT ONE.
5. It's turning into fall! (Read: it's officially fall, but it's looking/feeling more and more like fall). I adore fall. Word.

| The calendar officially reads October. This is a calendar my sister got me from Hawaii last year. She officially has 3 months to get back to Hawaii and bring me a new calendar :) |

| my walk into work... leaves strewn about. LOVE. |
| the view out my window. ahhhh... autumnal serenity. |
*** and one good song ***
This song is addicting, seriously.
It's like Lord of the Dance meets Dayglow.
Think Michael Flatley in a rave. Think Celtic fiddle on ecstasy.
Oh, and the video itself is pretty cool.









I have no clue what Dayglow is (other than the wristbands, etc?), love LOVE that video/music - that was awesome! And enjoy the "you" time :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and there is a Horrocks in Battle Creek. Apparently you didn't know that LOL
Oh no Kathy, I knew that :) But we met in Lansing because it's more of a "halfway point" between here and Frankenmuth!
