I will say that this week seemed to crawl by, though. I think it had to do with the fact that each day I kept thinking that we were one day closer to the weekend than we actually were. On Tuesday I had to convince myself that it wasn’t Wednesday, and then on Wednesday I had to convince myself that it wasn’t Thursday. And then yesterday morning I had to wipe that smile off my face when I realized it wasn’t Friday. I hope that the days of the week wants to play this little game with me on Sunday, though, so I can experience that sweet feeling of getting to roll over and go back to sleep when I realize that it’s not Monday. Isn’t that the best feeling in the world?
Anywho, the point in all of that was that it’s FRIDAY and that means it’s time to look back during the week and think of five things that stood out to me, big or small, that made me happy.
ONE//
I talked yesterday about how I was really nervous about telling people about this space of mine and I’m happy to report that I did it, I actually told my best friend. Relief, happiness, and even proudness were all the emotions that I experienced once I did. That was huge for me!
This was how I told her.

She did make me sweat a little during the day though, because after I told her she ended up having to run some errands and it took a couple of hours for her to tell me what she thought. Way to leave a girl hanging! Butttt she told me she loved it and, in fact, last night she texted me again wondering if I was going to be posting another one or if she had to wait until tomorrow. I wonder if I should warn her that she’s entering the addicting world of blog reading?
After all that yesterday, I’m thinking that next week I might even try to build up my nerve some more and tell someone else, if I want to. Again, baby steps, remember?

Our good friends got engaged last weekend and I am so excited for them. We’re hoping to celebrate with them soon and plus I’m dying to see her ring in person! I’m also secretly hoping that when she starts to plan her wedding, that she’ll start planning mine too!

Although I might be slightly jealous, I’m extremely happy that my parents are in Vegas right now. After my dad working for three months straight and my mom taking care of my grandfather (or pop, as I call him) every minute of the day, they are definitely deserving of a much needed break.
In fact, my mom was that exhausted the first night she got there that she ended up falling asleep super early and in such an unusual place. This is what she messaged me on facebook:

It’s the first week of October which means that I’m wearing a pair of boots as we speak. I’m not really sure why I had to wait until the 1st, though, because with the weather that we have in Newfoundland I could have worn them all summer long and I still would have blended in. Anyways, I’m excited to be wearing them now and plus I bought a new pair last week so I can’t wait to show you those soon.
FIVE//
I entered a blogging giveaway for a $10 Starbucks gift card over at Seriously Kate and I actually won! Wahoo! I can definitely now see a couple of skinny vanilla lattes in my near future. Although, I feel like that because I’m blogging and it’s October, I should be saying pumpkin spiced lattes, but the truth is that I’m not a huge fan. Please don’t stop reading! Other than that I’m pretty normal, I swear.
And a big thanks to everyone who has been reading, it seriously means sooooo much to me!
Yeah for telling you friend, and of course she liked it! Who wouldn't! Your Mom is too funny, I have never heard someone falling asleep at a concert! Haha! It hasn't been too cold here except for a few hours in the morning but I am looking forward to wearing some boots!
Yay! I am glad your friend reacted so well 🙂 And I'm jealous you're wearing boots! I wore some last month but then this week we are having an abnormal heat wave and yuck!!
It's always exciting/nerve racking to tell your friends that you have a blog. At least your friend was happy for you 🙂 Your relationship with your mom is so sweet and Vegas is awesome! Woohoo for boots. I'm wearing some right now!
can't wait to see those boots and i'm with you on the pumpkin spice drinks.. do NOT like 😀
My boss came into work Thursday all excited that it was 'Friday' had let him down easy. Needless to say it's 4:00 here and he is already out of the office. Must be nice!
SO glad your friend had positive things to say about the blog! 🙂 That will make telling others a bit easier….maybe?! hahaha
Have a good weekend!
Aw your bestie sent such sweet texts back! I love when my friends read my blog, and like it 🙂 Yay for sharing, and yay for diving in a starting a blog of your own!
I hate weeks when I'm a day ahead of myself! So glad you got such a good response to your blog! What a confidence builder! 🙂
I absolutely LOVE your friend's response! Isn't that the best?! You know, a lot of people I interact with on a daily basis have no idea I blog in my spare time… And I totally get that sort of weirdness about saying, oh hey, I have a blog if you want to read it! But I'm so so glad you did! It's always fun to see their reactions!
And hey.. I don't like anything pumpkin. AND I don't really like coffee. Haha. When I stop into a Starbucks, it's for hot chocolate. 🙂
And yes, I LOVE being able to say It's Friday!!
Aahhh, I'm so glad you shared, lady! Congrats 🙂 And too funny about the Elton John concert…I fall asleep in movie theatres on a fairly regular basis, so I can kind of relate haha.
I just stumbled upon you blog and i really like it! This post was perfect – I am a new blogger myself and have only told my husband (i need someone to help me take pictures, right?). You have inspired me to tell more people! I am a new follower of yours!
