5 Things Friday

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! I seriously don't think that song will ever get old in my book... 

1. Speaking of a song that makes you wanna dance - oh wait, did I not say that "Friday" always makes me want to dance? Well, at the final H&8th of the season last week, Todd caught me busting a move! I think these candid videos of me dancing might become a weekly occurrence... 

2. The weekend that I've been waiting for has FINALLY come - I get to see Ben Rector in concert on Sunday! I can't even handle my excitement. To say that I'm obsessed with the sweet, sweet music stylings of Mr. Rector is a grave understatement.

He was on Jimmy Kimmel earlier in the month and posted this video on his Facebook page. I've watched it a couple (too many) times. Seriously, you guys, the smile that happens at 1:55 - be still my heart!!

3. So, apparently I've been living under a rock and didn't realize that not only can I get a pair of prescription glasses from Warby Parker for $95, but they also let you choose 5 frames to try at home. The best part? They ship them to you for FREE - with return shipping also paid!

I picked out 5 frames and the box arrived this week. I'm pretty pumped! I've had my current glasses since the 9th grade -- and I'll be honest, as soon as I tried on a couple of the frames, I had this weird loyalty and nostalgia for my current glasses. Sometimes my goofiness even catches me off-guard. (I actually wore my glasses this week - a rare occurrence - pictured on right. Goofy nature of the picture was intended to brighten Kimmy's day.)

  

4. I stumbled upon Katelyn Brooke's blog a couple weeks ago, and one of the first posts I read was about her latest "passion project," Lettered Letters. Basically, she is going to write 100 letters in a year. Not only will this project help her keep in touch with people in her life, but it also gives her a creative outlet to practice her lettering - my kind of girl!! I've decided that I am going to attempt this project as well - with my goal being 100 letters by November 1, 2014. Yes, this means I now have 2 year-long goals that I'm working on. (25 while 25 being the other)

5. I can't remember the last time I really made a "Christmas list." Usually my parents will just shop for me and get things they know I'll love. They do an AMAZING job. I don't think any two parents have ever known their child as well as my parents "get" me. Well, this year there are a few things that are actually on my wish list for Christmas - to be revealed next week!

I also realized that all of my adorable Halloween/fall decor didn't make its way out of my garage this year. That will NOT be the case with my Christmas decor. I'm excited to decorate the new house for the holidays - and to be sure it gets done, I am going to schedule some "decorate my house" time soon!

   

Is it Sunday yet? Ben Rector! Ben Rector! Ben Rector! I'm so glad Sissy and Ferr are road-tripping with me to Tulsa for the concert. Ferris doesn't know what he signed up for when he agreed to go with these two love-sick Ben Rector-ites. I foresee a lot of eye rolling in his future. Sis, you ready?!
