Five Things Friday

Aren't you guys glad today really is Friday?  I was so confused yesterday thinking it was Friday, especially when TGIF pictures kept popping up on my instragram.  All day I felt I was checking the calendar to make sure it was still indeed Thursday and I wasn't being delusional.  Short work weeks always confuse me!  Anyway, recently a good friend of mine had a rock climbing accident and last night when I went out with her, her knee definitely looked a little off so she has to go in and get it checked.  Hopefully it isn't anything too terrible but this will be her second major injury.  So her injury prompted today's FTF theme, here goes:

1.  I have broken no bones, thankfully (knock on wood!).  I'm sure it must be painful!

2.  The worst injury I had as a kid was when I was in the 2nd I went on a field trip to the coast, we went to a rocky beach and I slipped and tried to hold on to a rock that was full of muscles!  My hand was totally butchered by the muscles, I had tons of slits.  I remember the teacher had to take me back to the school bus, open up the first aid kit and clean off my hand.  Other than that I had no major injuries, just the usual cuts and bruises!  I wasn't very rambunctious and didn't play any sports (I am extremely uncoordinated), I was a safe kid! 

3.  The worst injury I had as an adult is whiplash from a bad car accident!  I had to go to therapy for it and get some chiropractic work done.  Not to mention all the bruising I had, terrible I tell ya!

4. The worst thing about being injured is not being able to exercise! I love to exercise, so when I slightly hurt my knee or my back hurts and I can't workout it totally bums me out.  Especially in the summer time when I love to run outdoors and go on bike rides.

5.  The best part about being injured is the attention.  My parents and my fiancee totally spoil me :)

**My favorite things from around the web this week is this sloth journal, I'm totally getting this for work once my current notebook runs out!

I've been really into cookies lately and potato chips!! It's terrible I know but once in a while it's nice to reward yourself with things you don't normally eat :)  Anyway, today's FTF is all about cookies!

1.  I LOVE (love/hate) cookies.  Ever since I was little I was a cookie monster!! My mom would even call me that sometimes because that's all I ever wanted to eat, that and cereal, more specifically frosted flakes.

2.  I hate cookies that are savory.  I like my cookies sweet!!

3. My favorite cookies at the moment are sugar cookies with chocolate chips or sprinkles on top!  I cannot tell you how much I love sprinkles on sugar cookies.  I like to roll the dough in sprinkles prior to baking, I love how the sprinkles get sweet and candy like once they bake.

4.  I like to eat my cookies with milk or tea!  I dislike drinking them with water, I think it just makes the cookies taste weird.

5.  The best time of day to eat cookies is in the morning for breakfast!!

**My favorite thing from around the web this week are these printable animal finger puppets!  They are so cute, especially the snake!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Five Things Friday

I don't know about you, but I LOVE PIZZA!!  I can have pizza any day, any time, I don't think I could ever get sick of it!  Today's FTF is all about my beloved pizza, here goes:

1.  My favorite pizza place is the downtown American Dream Pizza in Corvallis, Oregon.  It is literally the best pizza ever!  Their crust is crisped just the right amount and they have quality toppings that make the pizza taste that much more delicious. 

2.  My favorite pizza topping(s) is/are ham and pineapple!! I am a sucker for Hawaiian pizza, it's so hard to resist it!

3.  My least favorite topping on pizza is ONION!  If there is onion on my pizza I will not eat it, I won't even pick it out, it just destroys the whole pizza experience for me!

4.  I like to eat my pizza by/with lots of parmesan cheese!! I actually just like to eat parmesan cheese by itself, I'm weird like that but pizza gives me an excuse to pile it on my plate and dip my crust in it,weird right?

5.  My second favorite pizza is either a homemade one made by me or the Papa Murphy's thin crust pizza, it's so thin and light it makes me feel not guilty eating it. 

**My favorite thing from around the web this week is this tutorial on how to make heart shaped cupcakes!  I think I'm going to make some this weekend :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Five Things Friday

Recently, I've been really into watching Gilmore Girls.  I don't know what it is about that show that is so addicting, maybe it's the mother-daughter relationship or their priceless witty comments, but all I know is that I LOVE it.  I have seriously been considering buying all 7 seasons, I told you I'm addicted, I love feel good shows!  Today's FTF is all about TV shows, here goes:

1.  My favorite TV show at the moment is "Gilmore Girls" (re-runs are on TV).

2.  One of my favorite TV shows as a kid was a show called "Take Part" it was a Canadian kid show and they use to teach you different crafts and cooking recipes throughout the show.  One time I sent in my craft and won a prize, I felt pretty cool because my craft was featured on TV!  It was a plate mask, if I remember correctly, haha!

3.  An old TV show I never get sick of watching even though I've seen all the episodes is "Sabrina The Teenage Witch", there are some episode in which I know all the lines, it's sick, I tell you!  I just love this show so much!  Melissa Joan Hart is awesome in it!

4.  A TV show I hated as a kid was Roxanne, I just never thought it was that funny, I don't know why it was so popular.   

5.  When I was a kid I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons!! I was super sheltered!! Imagine back then the Simpsons was a "bad" show and today there are much worse cartoons out there, oh how TV has changed!

** My favorite thing from around the web this week is this candy cane popcorn! I am seriously making it this weekend!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Five Things Friday

What are you afraid of?  Since Halloween is right abound the corner, I thought I would make today's FTF all about fears!  So here goes!   Oh yeah, be sure to play along and link us to your blog in the comments so we can read your FTF!

1.  I get scared easily (easily/sometimes/never).  Sometimes even being alone in my house freaks me out, especially when the house makes weird noises!

2.  The biggest fear I have is driving in harsh weather (especially snow, hail, or freaky wind storms).  I had a terrible accident several years ago and I literally have a panic attack when the weather is crazy and I'm driving.  I grip the wheel so hard that by the time I get home my hands hurt!

3.  Something I am afraid of but can tolerate is/are big dogs!  I'm not afraid of little dogs but when a large dog (golden retriever size or greater) approaches me, I freeze up and need to remind myself to continue to act normal.

4.  When I was a child I was scared of germs!  I was such a germophobe when I was a kid, I would constantly wash my hands, ha!

5.  When I'm scared, something I do to make myself feel better is call my fiance!  He can usually talk me through whatever I'm panicking about!

 **My favorite thing from around the web this week is this how-to video on how to make cupcakes with a secret message inside!  Aren't these super cute?  They would be so fun to give out at a birthday party or get together.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Five Things Friday

This week has felt so odd somehow.  Wednesday felt like Thursday and today does not feel like Friday, maybe it's because last week was a 4 day week.  Oh well, whatever the reason, I'm glad it's Friday!!  Now that the summer is officially coming to an end, I feel like I'm finally getting to wind down, so today's Five Things Friday is all about relaxation.

1.  My favorite way to relax is by spending time at home and reading, whether it's a book, magazine or blogs on my kindle.  Reading anything helps me wind down.

2.  A scent that makes me relax is lavender but in the fall the smell of pumpkin spice candlea makes me relax.  Sometimes I light it before bedtime so my room smells like autumn.

3.  My favorite relaxation food is tea + a piece of chocolate.  Somehow this combo makes me sleepy.

4.  When I'm sore after a long work out or a long day at work I take a bath!! It always helps soothe my muscles.

5.  My favorite person to relax with is my fiance.  I always feel 100% comfortable when I'm with him so it's easy to feel relaxed.  I love just watching TV with him and napping, he's so warm and comfy, I can nap on him forever!

**My favorite thing from around the web this week is this fall inspired almond bark!! It seems super easy to make and very Halloween-y!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
