Oh Hey Friday {10.24.14}

So, I have all kinds of thoughts and ideas swirling in my head, but I can’t seem to get any of them into cohesive ideas. Shall I try?

ONE

I had a great birthday and I’m so thankful for my husband, who for the first time genuinely surprised me with his gift – these Kendra Scott earrings. I NEVER would have splurged and bought them for myself, and I was shocked he remembered me liking them! Point for husband. He also remembered to help Abbie pick out a card for me (I’m a pretty big fan of cards), so another point there. Thanks, babe!

TWO

Being a Hokie football fan is hard. Really hard. After a good start to the season, we have just completely gone downhill. Last night, it was like we didn’t even show up to our own stadium. It was ugly and I couldn’t watch. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Oh football, why do you have to break my heart?

THREE

I am determined to get some things hung on the wall this weekend…. even if it’s only in Abbie’s room. It’s driving me crazy that we have all these things to go up and not one of them has yet.

FOUR

I got these flowers delivered from the Bouqs on my birthday (full review coming next week) and they’re cheering me up. Beautiful flowers at work tend to make you feel better about being there. Also, I’m hoping the cats don’t try to eat them when I take them home tonight. They’ve been known to do that.

FIVE

I’ve been really really struggling with time lately. As in, not having anywhere near enough of it. We leave the house around 7 am and don’t get home until 6:30, then it’s a little bit of family time before Abbie goes to bed, getting everything ready for the next day, and bed for us. It’s exhausting, and I’ve got to find a way to get more out of my day. The good news for you is that I’ve decided to open up my sidebar spots to all of you for free until I get myself figured out. I don’t know how long I’ll be doing this for, but I would love to see your faces on my sidebar and help out my fellow bloggers. Just use code FREE and the sidebar spot will be just that! I will try to give social media shoutouts when I can, but can’t commit to that right now. So come fill up my sidebar!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
