Friday Five #31

Hi Internet friends - finally, it's Friday again. This week at work was a long one, I started off tired after a wedding kept me up late Saturday night, and I haven't quite managed to get enough sleep yet.
 
I don't know about y'all yinz (it's a Pittsburgh thing), but I have had a serious case of June Gloom (at least I've heard that's a thing) except it's running late, 'cause it's July. It's supposed to be 90+ every day this weekend & following week, which is almost too hot to enjoy the sunshine. But, despite the heat, I feel like summer has already passed me by. Which, it hasn't, but aren't I a drama queen? 

So, I'm on a mission to make this weekend extra summery & snap myself out of this funk. 
In the meantime, some Friday Five. I hope you'll share some bits of your week in the comments!

 Linking up with Heather, Amanda, Andrea & Tif

one // Driving to work the other day, and what pulls out in front of me...a Sasquatch Research Unit, of course. I couldn't resist taking a picture.

two // Went to the dentist on Wednesday. Which gives me nervous sweats & a heart beat rapid enough to have me admitted to the hospital. I trust my dentist. But I don't trust my teeth. I walk in every time expecting to hear I have some sort of rare teeth melting disease or equally dramatic, but not possible issue. So I was a happy camper to walk out with a clean bill of teeth.

three // I thought surviving the dentist deserved a treat. Also, I ate my lunch really early & was hungry. So, I stopped for a jamocha shake & snack sized curly fry from Arby's. They're both the perfect size. And, the jamocha shake is hands down my favorite fast food milkshake...file that away under facts you'll never need to know about me.

four // How's this for some clever marketing? A restaurant I pass on my route home has marked itself as a Pokemon Stop. I don't know exactly that means. Like, is there a Pikachu living on their patio? Who knows. But, pretty much everyone at the red light agreed it was funny. You could see everyone pointing, and I wasn't the only one snapping a picture.

five // PICKLES! The garden has exploded this past week. It had already gone a little wild, but we've progressed to full on crazy. The BF made 10 jars of pickles over the weekend & we made another 16 the other night. There are still so many cucumbers close to picking time. But we're out of jars & we hadn't even intended to make pickles! We bought the jars to make salsa & pasta sauce when the tomatoes ripen.

Do you believe in Sasquatch? Bigfoot?  
Ever canned something - or are the BF & I just super old school?
What are your most excited for this weekend!?
