Friday FIVE - and a major NSV!!!

Happy Friday all!!! I'm hoping that you all have some fun plans for this weekend!! Me, notsomuch!  I don't have anything planned and I like it!  Thought I'd do a quick little five bullet point post to fill you in on some things..

1.  thanks to those that responded to my last two posts - the first about the voting for my Aunt and Uncle's project in memory of my cousin - KEEP VOTING!!!! and the 2nd about the clothes. I'll be packing up some stuff this weekend and hopefully shipping out quite a few boxes to many of you!

2.  Have I mentioned that we are moving in about 3-4 weeks? If not, we are! I'm super excited about it so I think we'll probably start packing this weekend. We are ready for a change and our new house is fantastic!!!  Lots of space for visitors!

3.  Had a little pity party this week which is pretty unlike me.  I was feeling sad about some friendships I have here and putting more effort than I get out of them and consistently feeling as if I'm the back-up friend and I hate that feeling.  I'm pretty much over it, but it still sucks when you feel that way.

4. MY NSV - I got a dress for the wedding I'm going to in Chicago in a couple of weeks!  It's a funny story. I went to Dillards and found two dresses I liked. One was $89 and the other was $189 so I grabbed both in a size 20..  the one that was $189 was not too cute on so I was keeping my fingers crossed that the other would work. I tried on the 20, it was too big, so I walked out, grabbed the 18, again too big. So, I walked out again and grabbed the 16 thinking there's no way this is going to fit and I'm going to be bummed b/c this will be one of those where you are exactly right between the two sizes and I didn't want to have to deal with getting the 18 altered. Miracle of all Miracles, the 16 fit!!!  AND, it still roomy enough that I might have to get it altered a little in the arm holes.  Here it is:  full shot of the dress, close up of the rosettes all over it and then me.. don't mind the hair please!!  Also, bonus is that I already had a pair of pretty comfy peep-toe sling-back wedges that look cute with it. So, all I need is a little pashmina and some big earrings to go with it (I'm thinking hot pink pashmina!) thoughts?

5.  This weekend is another big Training walk - 12 miles.. Oh lord help me..  if you don't hear from me next week, I'm off to the side of the road somewhere crawling trying to get home.

Have a great weekend!
