Happy Friday! This week didn’t exactly whiz by for me, but it didn’t drag either. I suppose a mid-week pizza splurge always helps, eh? I guess that means it’ll be a healthy night in tonight, but that’s fine by me. I have to get up early on Saturday anyway, so I’m not looking to get too crazy.
Sharing good things puts me in a good mood, and since I’m already feeling pretty happy-go-lucky, I figure it’s time for a little Friday Five.
1. Gone Girl. I just started this, and I’m loving it. Though I love tweets, news articles, and Facebook updates as much as the next gal, there’s special about reading well-written work that wasn’t made to be devoured and spit back out in 30 seconds or less.
2. Eggs. When I discovered I was out of oats yesterday, I was pretty bummed about having to cook up something else, but the eggs were even better than I remembered. (They always are.)
3. This eyeshadow and this lipstick. I’m not a big fan of makeup, so the fact that I’m even mentioning these really means something. Both are by Clinique.
4. Kitty snuggles. Nope. It never gets old. Leia always tries to find a way around my laptop though, which can be frustrating. Good thing she’s too adorable to actually annoy me.
5. Fun runs. I feel like I haven’t done a race in forever, so a couple friends and I are doing a color run. The US National Whitewater Center puts on really awesome events, so I’m sure the St. Patty’s party after the race is going to be a pretty good time.
- What’s making your Friday?
- Ever done a color run? (If so, give me tips!)

I have been going nuts with the books recently… on my third one in less than 2 weeks!
Gone Girl has been on my hold list at the library for WAY too long. I’ve been losing patience…

I just picked up Henrietta Lacks too. They were both on hold and became available at the same time. #brokegirlproblems

I’ve been wanting to read Gone Girl! As much as I love reading blogs, I always spend the last hour of my day winding down with a book in bed. It’s been my ritual for as long as I can remember!

What a lovely ritual! It sounds quite relaxing.

Gone Girl is amazing, it’s one of the best books I’ve read… I just finished reading her other books, too!

I am looking so forward to a lazy night on the couch. It’s been too long since I stayed in on a Friday!

I loved Gone Girl! So many people I know hated the ending — I’m interested to hear what you think

I’m working from home for the first time in MONTHS – that’s making my Friday!

Love Clinique. I use their mascara and eyeliner. I haven’t done the color run, but I did a girl’s mud run last year. It was SO much fun. Happy Friday!

That race looks like a ton of fun! I haven’t done one before but I’d DEFINITELY do one if it ever fit into my schedule

Haha I basically live on eggs!

I saw that frittata, and it looked amazing!

Gone Girl was sooo good. I’ve read about 10 books since then, and nothing compares. I keep thinking about it!
March 11, 2013 at 9:41 am
Oh good! I can already tell its going to be great.

I would love to do a color run! Sometimes I love it when a surprise non planned breakfast (any meal really) turns out better than expected.

I just signed up for a color run today, too! Mine isn’t until June, though (which is good since it’s still cold in Chicago!) – great minds think alike, huh?
