You want real life?  I’ll give you real life.  I’m sporting running shorts for…well, the exact opposite of running, I’ve got an embarrassingly high ponytail sitting on the very top of my head secured with an ever fancy scrunchy that’s somehow clung on since the early nineties, and I’m eating chicken noodle soup with the chicken picked out because ew.  That, y’all, is how you bring a Thursday night to life.
But no, really.  Out of nowhere this stupid sore throat settled in and I’m basically being a big baby about it.  Luckily, tomorrow is Friday.  And Friday makes me happy.
I also just have to share that as I’m typing, J is currently experimenting.  He’s attempting to make his own frappuccino and all I can think about is what kind of mess is he about to make.  
In other news, I got about 20% through The Girl On The Train last weekend while riding in the car to Raleigh. Apparently that’s the only time I can find to read anymore is when I’m trapped in a vehicle for a few hours.  It probably helped that the ride was straight out of my worst nightmare with all the stop and go traffic.  Hashtag: massively anxious passenger.  Also hashtag: every husband’s dream woman.
Sorry, I got off topic.  What I meant to say there was that I’ve been dying to find the time to get back to that book!  I’m thinking I’m totally going to cash in on this sore throat tomorrow night and buy myself a ticket to seat on the couch with a book for a wild Friday night.  Hang around here, apparently I’ll teach you how to party hardy.
Happy [almost] weekend, friends!

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  2. LOVE that nail color!! And LOL at the chicken in chicken noodle soup. I buy the Progresso light chicken soups and they're pretty good. But seriously why do some of the pieces of chicken look so strange? Ew. Haha. I laughed about the part about J making a frappocino and you thinking about the mess that he's going to make.. Looking forward to hearing your full review about that book too. Have a wonderful weekend lady!! 🙂
