On Friday

It's been a week.  Y'all know what I mean, right?

I'm not sure what it is but I have been completely exhausted, despite my getting to bed earlier.  I actually ended up going to the doctor for this reason and hopefully they can shed some light on it…

Even though I missed a few posts this week I'm back with a little recap of my week.


This picture is kind of cheating since it was taken a while back when we were hanging out in McKinney.  It was right after we went to Kendi's shop.  Downtown McKinney is a dream and I've been thinking about taking a little weekend trip in that direction.


I've been doing a lot of working from my bed.  It's nice but it also means it easy to slip into TV watching mode and start catching up on How I Met Your Mother.  For any of you who watch it, do you just love the mother?  The whole time I was thinking that when we finally met her I would see her as an outsider but the more and more I see of her the more adorable she is.


I snapped this picture one morning this week when I got up for work.  I went to do my hair and makeup and when I came back, Ellie had snuggled up into my spot.  The sweetest.


And lastly, this.  This guy was riding his horse through a neighborhood and he is about to ride past a grocery store.  This looks like it's in the middle of nowhere but it just happens to be an empty lot.  

When I was in middle school I had a friend that moved to Florida.  When she came back to visit she told us that people would ask her if Texans rode horses to school. No, of course not.  But in this guy's case, sometimes the Texas stereotypes turn out to be true.

Side note, there is actually an old barn in the middle of my college campus because students used to be able to pay their tuition in livestock.  Just a little fun fact.


I hope you have a great weekend!

A Week in Five Pictures

Woohoo!  It's Friday and it's Valentines day!  I feel like I am just going non-stop today but in a good way!  So, once again I am just going to leave you with a few pictures from the week.  Have a beautiful weekend!


A cute notebook (that I don't want to write in because it's so pretty!), my planner, and a JessLC card that I don't think I'll ever use.  Did anyone else every buy anything from Jess?  I wish her shop was still open.  


I got this print from Alphonnsine, isn't it gorgeous?


Just so good.  If you haven't read The Goldfinch, you need to!


A little reading corner that we set up this past week.  I spent too much time here, reading the last pic ;)


I stopped into chip-fil-a to get a tea this week and the boy behind the counter decided that he liked me, I suppose.  He gave me a little wink and handed me some ice cream and said, "It's on the house."  Okay. I'll take it.


How was your week?  What do you have planned this weekend?

Life Lately, According to My Instagram

Hello everyone!  I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.  I definitely did seeing as I spent it celebrating the fact that my flu was gone!  And trying to take some pictures since last weeks I-can't-get-out-of-bed-I-hate-the-flu left little time for actual picture taking.

This week I have the wonderful opportunity to join up with Life on Leroy and The Weekend File and be a co-host for this week's Life Lately Link Up!  Thank you ladies!  Now let's get to the goods...


My little Ellie in her dapper little bow-tie


The snow as it was just starting!  Man alive, I looooove snow, you guys.


The weekend attire.


I found a seriously old copy of White Fang as we were antique shopping.  Score.


I finally got around to unpacking and realized that I have an unusual amount of blankets and pillows.  #ineedhelp


And this, ladies and gents, is the only picture I took during the flu week.  My dog really cares about me - puppy kisses all around.
