WEDNEStheweekendgonnagethereDAY

It's Wednesday, if your an optimist you celebrate that you are halfway through the week. If you are a

pessimist you may be thinking "it's only Wednesday, when is the weekend gonna get here?!?" Either way, I hope this post can help you get through the day.  I'm making a list of my current favorite things and to help you past the time you can make your own list!  

Favorite thing #1:  Surprises.  Like this Off Duty Sweatshirt by Boden .   I wanted this sweatshirt as soon as I opened my Boden catalog, but it was receiving mixed reviews. I was nervous about making the purchase, but when it went on sale I snatched one up.  I was surprised at how adorable it is on, how long it is (perfect for wearing with leggings), how comfy it is and the best surprise of all - the inside pockets are the same orange as the little trim on the inside neck!  It's super cute and selling out fast. Snatch yours up before it's too late!      

Favorite thing #2: All things monogrammed/personalized. What is it about monograms that makes you feel a little fancy?  I always associate monograms with people who have money, which is silly because it costs a mere $7 at pottery barn to monogram something and some places offer it free!  I love this free monogram print from Forchicksake.com.  I printed one for my craft room and for Hattie to put in her room someday.

 

Favorite thing #3: Guilty Pleasures.  Come on we all have 'em, those little things we secrectly love to love, but feel a little guilty when we let ourselves indulge.  Mine are watching teenie bopper shows and eating Doritos with french onion dip (watch out hubby, no kissing tonight!) and washing it all down with a dr. pepper. 

Favorite thing #4: Journaling. I bought my first diary when I was 8 yrs old.  My first journal entry started with "Dear Diary, Today we went shopping and I bought you." Ever since then I have loved the idea of jotting down my life for my future kids/grandkids or some random stranger to read long after I'm gone.  Of course my life isn't that exciting, so I don't know who this random stranger might be, maybe a homeless guy that finds my journal in a pile of trash somewhere, but hey at least I will live on! Of course here is the one thing that prohibits this scenario from happening.  I'm terrible at maintaining a journal.  I start one and then stop for months or even years.  But I found a recent fix to this little problem.  The Q and A a Day: 5-Year Journal. Each day has a new question to answer.  You fill it in for each day of the year and then do it all over again for the next 5 years!  So cool to see how your thoughts/feelings can change in the course of a year.
