Happy Friday! You made it through another week, so give yourself a pat on the back, or a stiff drink (or both)!
This was the first work week since Winter Break that we didn't have any delays or closings, which was actually nice since I got to catch up on work instead of constantly being behind. That doesn't mean I'm not ready for the weekend, because I am! But first, let's talk about some of my faves from the week!
{1}-The house projects continue...
MG and I spent part of the weekend and then most of the day on Monday painting trim in the upstairs hallway as well as the doors from the main hallway. We also went out and bought doorknobs and hinges for all the doors and are making our way through updating everything. We still have the walls to paint upstairs, and several more doors to do (who knew a house had SO MANY doors??) but it's already looking SO good, and so much better and fresher!

{2}-The Most Comfy Leggings Ever
I recently bought a pair of fleece-lined leggings on a site called Sassy Steals. They arrived and let me tell you, they're the most comfortable pair of leggings ever and they are SO warm! They also have a nice finish on the outside which you can totally wear as a dressier pair of leggings (is there such a thing? Yes!) I think the deal ended for them the other day, but in case they come back, go on over and get you a pair. They're only $6.99!!

MG and I have been in the market for a new show to watch together since several of our shows are either on hiatus, or we've already whipped through. Our friends had told us about the show The Good Wife, which I'd heard of, but never really sounded appealing to me even though I had no idea what it was about (it's a legal/political drama in case you didn't know, because I didn't). But, our friends said it was good, so on Wednesday night we watched the first episode. And then the second. And last night we watched the next 4. It's excellent! Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it!
{4}- Downton Abbey spoof
If you haven't seen it yet, apparently the cast of Downton Abbey did a spoof of themselves for a fundraiser called Text Santa. It is so funny and creative--if you're a Downton Abbey fan you'll love it. Here's part one, and a link for part two
{5} Anniversary Trip

P.S. I promise not to talk about this non-stop until the end of March
And here are a couple of funnies to get you rolling into the weekend....
{via} I wish this was my plan, instead of painting doors haha |

Catch ya on Monday, lovies!
Fleece lined leggings are the best thing ever - I only have one pair, but that needs to change, live in them this time of year!!! I'm so excited for your anniversary trip - that sounds weird LOL!! The good wife is one of my favorites - always a good episode!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend love! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeletePainting trim is literally my nemesis. I did one room in our house and after a full days work, I still finds spots I missed. Will you come do mine next!? haha Michael and I booked our trip to Punta Cana but we aren't going until June!! You will have to let me know how it goes and what you loved about it.
ReplyDeleteOhhh that picture from Punta Cana makes me want to book a trip there myself! Hope you have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeletei think the Good Wife will be my next series. I just watched Being Mary Jane but only after I got into it - i realized there were only 8 episodes (whomp whomp). Downton Abby is kinda boring this season so far. I hope it spices up soon or I'm going to have to quit on it!
ReplyDeleteThose leggings sound sooooo cozy, and that price is such a steal! I'm heading to Florida in a few weeks for vacation (SO excited) but have been looking at Punta Cana for a late spring trip...that picture makes me even more convinced I should just book it!

Haha I love the T-Rex. This is the 1st Friday I'll actually be able to enjoy a stiff drink for happy hour since we've been back from break so I am ready! T-minus 8 hours. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteFleece lined leggings are my jam! I picked some up at Walmart on a recommendation from another blogger, and can't believe how comfy they are. The only thing is, they are a bit more sheer than I'd like - not see through or anything, but I am always hyper aware, and want my leggings to be thick and totally opaque - so I might have to keep an eye out for this Sassy Steals pair you mentioned!
ReplyDeleteI bought a pair of fleece leggings on Cyber Monday and I absolutely love them still. Even though I can pretty much only wear them around the house because those little fuzzies get stuck to the outside. Oh well! I got married in March too and I was just thinking about that the other day about how I'll be married for a year in just a short time! Have a great weekend, love!
ReplyDeleteThe Downton Abbey spoof is the best thing I've seen this week! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBrag about the trip... go ahead you deserve to. The spoof made me happy this dreary morning. Love me some downton. I have some fleece leggings and LOVE them to death and a half.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your upcoming trip and I totally feel you on all of the house projects. They're never ending! I might have to talk hubs into watching the good wife. all of our shows are on hiatus too!
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about The Good Wife. If you're looking for another show, Adam and I are watching The Wire and it is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm all over that quote about only moving just enough so that people don't think I'm dead. After an insane weekend last weekend and a crazy one next, I need this weekend! And I'm so jealous about Punta Cana - looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the wall color you chose! I'm going to have to check out the Downton Abbey spoof too. Hope you have a good weekend girlie!
ReplyDeleteI love fleece lined leggings and tights! I own about 10 pairs.

I've been thinking about The Good Wife as our next show too! Found your blog on the link up :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds like an amazing trip! My aunt and uncle go there a lot of absolutely love it! They are huge travelers and that is always their repeat place. I wore leggings out on New Year's and I was like when did leggings become dressing and going out pants for me? Oh well....I was the most comfortable let me tell you ;-) I hope you have some rest in between the painting this weekend! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe are looking at going to Punta Cana too. Just haven't been able to decide between going there or to St. Thomas. I figure it's a win either way. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your home upgrade! I swear a fresh coat of paint is all the difference needed sometimes! And I WANT you to talk about Punta Cana a lot so I can live vicariously through you! Happy weekend, pretty lady! xo
ReplyDeleteI watched the GW when it first came out and was hooked but haven't watched in years....I've saved the episodes in my Amazon prime acct and need to get back to it! We are going on a trip in March too and like you its all I can think about!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the linkup. You just reminded me to buy more fleece-lined leggings. Love them!!!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I love those leggings! I will be getting a pair soon!

I have a pair of fleece lined leggings that I am totally obsessed with! They are so soft and comfortable that when I wear them, it feels like I am getting away with wearing pjs!
ReplyDeleteFleece lined leggings are the shizz!! Talk about Punta Cana as much as you want so we can live vicariously through you!!
