High Five for Friday

Welcome to my High Five for Friday ...err...Saturday post.  That doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?  Due to minor technical difficulties I was unable to access anything on my laptop, so I am a day behind.

The High Five for Friday ..ahem..Saturday post will list five of my favorite things for the week. Just a reminder that you always have something to be thankful for.

 You know those weeks that never seem to end? Like every day is a Monday?  I had one of those weeks.  I am pleased to say that when I arrived home from work today I crawled into bed and went straight to sleep...for two hours!  I totally planned it, and I loved every minute of it!  I think you should all have a nap this weekend...that's the way I see it...get it..The way I see it??  Ok...that's too much..Moving along...

Another pair of Elisabeth Ashlie earrings.  I can't help it, I LOVE their jewelry line.  I wore these a few times this week.  One day I thought I lost one, and called my husband to whine about it. His solution was to contact the EA girls and ask them to make me just one of the earrings..haha! Well, I did not contact them, but my husband is brilliant, I tell ya! Later that evening I found the missing earring stuck in my scarf.  Such a relief!  These were a pair of custom made earrings.

I apologize for the poor photo quality, but I was so excited to get this that I had to share.  Last Spring I fostered a sweet, little Cocker Spaniel through the Humane Society. She was found abandoned and left for dead.  Overtime, I nursed her back to health, and she was eventually adopted by a lovely family in our town.  Her new family donated a brick for the Humane Society's Spay/Neuter Clinic in our honor, and I received the certificate in the mail Thursday. I was very moved by this special gift.  I am a proud Foster Mom for sure!

I had a very specific Christmas list in 2011. This was unusual for me because normally I do not have much of a list.  Just a few things that I jot down so my husband will stop telling me he doesn't know what to get me.  I asked for Bath and Body Works Sleep Aromatherapy with lavender and chamomile. Only one word to describe it... dreamy!! Bath and Body Works has an entire line of this product...from lotion to pillow spray, and thanks to my amazing husband I have it all.  This is why it is important, ladies, to make wish lists..and hand them out to the appropriate people!  This is the bubble bath. You and your bathroom will smell divine..not to mention you be relaxed, and rest comfortably.

Last, but certainly not least...my Toms!  I love my Toms!  If you don't have any, you need to get some today! I was sold on them when I read a review that a girl had a red pair, and she wore a hole in them.  They were so comfortable that she still wore them and painted her toe red with a marker.  Most people would think..nah..they wore a hole in them, but I took from that review how comfortable they were.  So, I picked up these Ash Grey Toms at this adorable little shoe store in NYC while I was there at Christmas time. They were on my Christmas list that I mentioned earlier, so I thought..why not.  Plus, they were on sale, which practically made them irresistible.  I also have a red pair that I recently purchased, and I have made a list of other colors I would like to have.  (There I go again with the list.)  You can buy Toms in almost any color.  They are not only adorable, but trendy, and the absolute most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned...and mine do not have any holes worn into them!

What color will you get?

I hope you enjoyed reading this High Five post as much as I enjoyed making it.  Last week your comments were much appreciated.  Please feel free to leave more, and tell me your thoughts.  Besides the fab ideas I have given you today I also hope you all decide to start making lists! 

Enjoy!
