5×5 for Friday: Happy Things Edition

0
0

TGIF, my friends!

I thought I’d pop in to break up my time in between writing articles for Diets In Review with a fun little post. How about a little 5×5 action? As soon as I typed out the word “happy” I automatically thought of one of the best shows ever- Happy Endings. I have NO IDEA why it was canceled, but luckily there are re-runs shown on VH1 all the time (thank goodness for series recording options on the DVR!).

Without further ado…

5×5 for Friday: Happy Things Edition

5 Things I’m looking forward to:

1. Starting a new job in March As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (which features an awesome giveaway!), I’ll be starting a new job next month and couldn’t be more happy about it. Working for KIND has been great, but it’s time to move on. I’ll tell you all about the new job soon. I promise.

2. The return of Parenthood next week I’ve been watching the show since the very first episode, but this season has me sucked in (and emotionally invested) much more than any of the previous ones. It’s the Joel/Julia storyline that is killing me!

3. Baseball season! You might know that I’m a big baseball freak, and even though I live pretty far from my favorite team, I still continue to root for them. There aren’t many things that I like to do more than going to a baseball game in the summer, and I happen to have a pretty fantastic stadium just 15 miles from my house. Since the Rockies are in a different league than my Red Sox, I have no problem cheering on the home team!

4. Going to Florida in April Greg and I are trying to plan a trip to see his mom and stepdad (who live in Florida) and coordinate my mom and stepdad coming down from Maryland at the same time. It will be so great to have everyone in one place!

5. The BLEND Retreat Of COURSE I had to mention Blend! For the last two years, Blend has been one of the most fun weekends of the entire year and the countdown is on! I’m thrilled to be one of the organizers this year, and can tell you first-hand that this year’s event will be the best yet. We have some amazing sponsors and bloggers attending. If you haven’t gotten your ticket yet- click here! Rates go up next month, so get yours asap!

 

5 current songs that are stuck in my head (on rotation):

1. Chocolate The 1975

2. Team Lorde

3. All I Want Kodaline

4. The Walker Fitz & The Tantrums

5. Let Her Go Passenger

 

5 Things floating around the interwebs that made me smile

1. A Message From the Formerly Popular Kids At Your High School I definitely didn’t “peak” until after high school, so I really appreciate this!

2. Ellen Page at HRCF’s Time to Thrive Conference Such beautiful, inspiring words about humanity- brought tears to my eyes!

3. Twelve Reasons Colorado is the Best State I completely agree with all of them- living in Colorado is the best!

4. Dog Eating Food Like a Human OMG I could NOT stop laughing while watching this!! I want to try it with Jackson and Lance.

5. 16 Things That Are Just Never as Good After College I love all things Buzzfeed- and this list is so, so true.

 

5 States that I plan on visiting this year (not including Florida, which I’ve already mentioned)

1. Massachusetts

2. Maryland

3. California

4. Washington

5. Utah

(I’m hoping that there will be more than that, but those are the ones that I’m fairly certain I will see!)
