Friday Five #48

WE MADE IT. But seriously, this week has been a doozy. Work is crazy. My social life ended up much more social than anticipated, and so I am ready for a wild Friday night at the grocery store, followed by an early bedtime.

I'm running a local 5K this weekend, and while I would love to run sub-25, I'm not sure if I'm quite there yet, either way, I hope to get in some even pacing, and even negative split miles and end strong instead of feeling like I want to puke. So look for a race recap on Monday!

I hope you'll tell me something good in the comments, or share one of your favorite bits from the week.

But, now, on to my Friday Five.

one // If you follow me on Instagram you know I'm a big Aldi fan, which is how we keep our grocery bill so low. They have "special buys" which are limited time offers of different food (and non-food) products. I scooped up a few recently that were worth mentioning. Including their Everything Hummus - which tastes just like the toppings from my favorite everything bagels, Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese, $3.99 // 6oz when TJ's will cost you $13.99 // 8oz, and finally, their Salted Caramel Mocha Coffee Creamer. Mmm.

two // I'm usually not a big shopper, for anything other than food. But in the past few weeks I've been struck by how sparse my closet is. During the move I made it a point to get rid of things that don't fit well or don't make me feel good, but this left me with some gaps. I picked up a cute new dress at TJ Maxx on Tuesday. It has pockets!

 

And on Wednesday I snagged two new pairs of flats on at Kohls. I previously had lots of pairs of lower quality flats from Payless. But, now that I have a standing desk at work, I need something a little higher quality if I plan to stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Sadly, I left this super cute, comfortable dress behind because it was a bit short for the office.

three // My former roommates and I, pup included, got together Wednesday night after work for dinner. One cooked, while the other two of us drank wine and danced around our former shared house. After dinner we ended up playing a game or two of Sorry! before I headed home for the night. I managed to get all my men in the safe zone well before they did, and STILL LOST!

four // When you're on Instagram and you notice one of your favorite "big bloggers" liked and commented on your photo. :)

five // Funnies...and while I'm only going to include one, if you're not up on your Obama // Biden memes, you clearly don't Internet hard enough.

I mean, I'm not a cat person, like at all, but these cat funnies have been killing me.

Congrats on making it through the week.
Tell me something good. :)
