It's the Weekly Recap!

* Last Sunday some friends of mine invited me out for lunch after church. I resisted taking pictures, as I would like to associate with them again and didn't want to forever be pegged with "Remember that time we took Bekah to lunch and she took pictures of everyone's plates?" :) But can I just say that was one rockin' good tenderloin? (I love a good breaded tenderloin. MMMMM.)

* Monday I was thrilled to have Lynne back in the office with me. MAN I missed her last week. Loved giggling with her all day. The day itself, other than loving having her back, was pretty basic. Nothing exciting to report.

* So Tuesday night I decided to head to the fair! (As you already saw...) Didn't plan to go this year but I really like walking around (read: eating walking tacos and sugar covered almonds) so I went with my friend Amber. We had a great time walking around (eating walking tacos and sugar covered almonds) and running into friends!

* Wednesday, I'm not sure what my deal was, but I could not get my brain to work right to save my life!! I was crazy distracted all day at work...kept forgetting things...and a couple of times made a complete idiot of myself. (If you're going to be an idiot, be a complete one, right?) So that night I made cake mix cookies. Haven't made those FOREVER. Chocolate happiness on a cookie sheet. YES PLEASE!!!!!

* Thursday at work, we had a cookout, courtesy of our leadership team, to thank us for our hard work. It was SO good. Burgers on the grill and fruit and chips and salads...and best of all...for dessert....my very first time EVER with a chocolate fountain!!!! Not gonna lie....LOVED IT.

* Friday was a rather exciting day...purchased a new swimsuit (much more on that to come)....had two humiliating moments at work...more on that later, too. And speaking of work. Remember the sign on my desk that keeps mysteriously getting altered? It continues:

* Yesterday I came full circle in my job...and was in the Three Rivers Festival Parade, which was the first event I was ever in when I came to work at the station! It was a hot one out there - but I had fun carrying the banner with the lovely Lynne Ford!

One Thousand Gifts: Seems silly, perhaps, but I've been grateful to have cooler temps this week. For a broken thermostat girl like me, any day that's merely two digits is a gift! I remember walking out the door each morning and NOT feeling smacked in the face by heat already. Grateful for the relief!

Pinterest Inspiration: Mine is still a work in progress...but here it is! I needed a way to display some bucket-ish list ideas. (It's not a true bucket list but it's an accomplishment list. Found this idea:

And here is my version of it:

I bought the basket at the dollar store and I had the clothespins left over from the clothespin mirror I made earlier this year. Once I have the pins written on, I'll dump them in the basket and as I pull out "near future" ideas, I"ll clip them to the side! So excited to see what all it brings about!
