There should be a national holiday every Friday. I could handle 3 day weekends. Well, at least once every month. I am scurrying around the house today, trying to figure out what we have and don't have for K1 to go back to school. And I got my first set of Fall scents from Bath and Body Works! They have a new line of Pumpkin fragrances that I am just so excited to pull out in a few weeks. No, I am not getting them out now. :) I'm not the person who pulls out seasonal stuff a whole season before. So let's celebrate some more Summer with a few things on my Fav 5 for today. And a few general things (like chocolate cake).
1. Favorite Pin: Drop Cloth Outdoor Drapes I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll be doing a backyard makeover next Spring and I really want to make some drapes like these. I love how light and breezy they are . It just looks so effortless and relaxing.
2. Favorite WebVid: Brad Paisley's "Water." I think it's appropriate as we are bringing Summer to a close. I absolutely love this song - it's my ringtone!
3. Recipe I want to try: Bittersweet Cheesecake Torte Doesn't this look AMAZING?! Oh my gosh, I want it right now. Layers of chocolate, cheesecake, heaven.....Can we call this heaven on a cake stand?
4. Favorite Quote: Need I say more?
5. Friday Funny: Because you KNOW it's true! If you've never done this, you are not being honest with yourself. :) You should have seen the Hubs go ninja to kill a black widow that dropped on his arm! One minute it was there, the next it was -poof- gone.
