five friday favorites #4

it's friday! friday! [insert horrificly catchy rebecca black song & dance here].

i made it through the week! yipee! ever feel like the week went by at a turtle's pace . . . and yet at the end you're like, "wait, what? it's over already??" that was this week for me. weird!

okay, so i have some major projects planned for the weekend. wedding shtuffs. diy crafties. you are sure to see a dedicated post on that once i have some pictures to share. :)

for now, my five favorites of the week . . . 


1. hello WFH!

a couple of super awesome managers in my department surprised us all on tuesday, with the announcement of a work from home "pilot" program. work from home?! what?! you mean i can get work done and lay in bed in my pjams all day??? have i gone to heaven?!

okay, well enough with the dramatics ;) this pilot program was rolled out to all current leads, and will run for the next three months. basically, as long as we don't -pardon my french- screw things up, this opportunity could eventually be rolled out to senior coordinators, and then coordinators.

we are still of course expected to have a presence in the office. i mean, we can't go all ghost writer on them haha. it's definitely a great benefit though. i work four 10s, so really i am already out of the office three days a week. this however, gives me the opportunity to snatch up that sweet, sweet overtime without having to live in the office on my days off.

color me excited!

my workspace today!












as you can see, i am already taking advantage of this option ;)


2. fresh foods

my favorite thing about the weekend is being able to cook freshly made dishes. meal prepping during the week is a life saver, but nothing beats a hot-off-the-stove omelette or fresh-from-the-blender smoothie. i noshed on overnight oats for breakfast all week, but going back to my previous statement, i was well overdue for a real meal.

i have been craving protein like fiend! my stomach couldn't decide between eggs or a smoothie . . . so i made both.

the eggs are a breeze.
4 egg whites
tiny splash of unsweetened almond milk
dash of an herb blend seasoning
3 sweet mini bell peppers on the side

















bon appetite!

















3. inspiration

























because really, you should live every day with this mindset.


4. lust


source
















truth be told, i have been lusting after this bag for far longer than i'd like to admit. i visit her regularly when strolling through the online-window-shopping world. also finally pinned her, so that i can visit her on my style me lovely board. there is still much to pay for wedding wise, so this girl is being good and keeping her pocketbook locked up tight. after the "i do's," this lovely lady is coming home to me!


5. on the tubes



this video is by no means new -i know, i know- but it still gives me the giggles. so there. enjoy. laugh. giggle. repeat!

and now this girl must shower, begin aforementioned wedding diy projects, workout, run downtown to grab my computer charger (did i mention i left it on my work desk? ugh), cook dinner, and hopefully wind down for the day with a steamy mug of tea and a good read.

peace. love. :)
yay
