Friday Top 5

Ok, Top 5 for this week. I am so happy and thankful for so much this week it's kind of ridiculous really. You know I could, on any day of the week, point out the things that I want to be better or things that are going wrong but this top 5 always ALWAYS reminds me of how damn lucky I truly am. Anywho----here we go:

1. So thankful that I finally got the clothing racks I needed to hang up the mounds of clothes I have had scattered all over the place in our house. The fact that they were only $17 helps to! The PrettyRiot Store will be coming soon, as we are working towards that day finally! But yes, I am so thankful for the racks and am sure Mike is too.


2. Thankful that my car after 5 long months is finally legal! My inspection sticker has been out (((since January))) and I have avoided the great big hassle of taking it to be inspected....well I suppose it wouldn't be that big of a hassle if I knew it was going to pass but the check engine light had been on, despite the fact that the car seemed to be running just fine, and I knew that it would cost some moola to get thing to turn off. (Run on sentences of America) I had to go back and forth to the car place multiple times over a week and a half so to finally have it done and complete was so so nice!

3. Totes thankful that Lizzie is a part of this all. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

                                                

 

4. SO thankful and excited for the next few weeks of summer as we really get going here and living for SUMMER!!!! I am in desperate need of the beach, ya know? I need a tan and am thankful that the beach is walking distance from my house now! (Insert big cheesy grin)

5. This one is a futuristic "thankful"....Saturday Morning....I am going to be SO thankful for you :) I love and miss you so much of the week.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and one that is filled with many things to be thankful for.

Now go outside and play!

<3,
Jessica

Top 5 Friday (on a Monday)

Last week, I didn't write a Top 5 and I most definitely should have. Let me tell you about the Top 5. A few years back my aunt and I started sending emails back and forth to each other with Top5 as the subject line. My cousin, her son, Blake was just killed in a car accident and the depression that followed was heavy. We decided that no matter how bad things were or could become there would always always ALWAYS be at least 5 things in our lives to be thankful for. For accountability we would send these lists to each other almost daily and now 4 years later we still do. They are often the highlight of my day and week. Soon, we expanded the Top 5 to include a few close friends and we would all send these emails to each other. It kept us up to date with each others lives and brought a smile to open our emails and see a list of things that were keeping the people we love happy througout the week. The Top 5 is such a positive energy and force that I have decided to bring it to this space and share it with the interwebs :) So each week on Friday I will post my Top 5s and if you so choose, I would love for you to reply in the comment section with your Top 5. There are no rules here just that what you list no matter how big or small is something that you are truly thankful for and makes you happy. I have been thankful for icecream before, seriously it doesn't have to be super deep or poetic, although it can be.

So since I missed last Friday, here's my Top 5 for today:

1. I am thankful for coffee shops. I kind of used to think they were stupid until I found that I love iced, frozen, blended coffee things. And then when I realized that working from home wasn't as productive as I thought it would be. Coffee shops serve as a great little away from home office. I plug in my headphones and ROCK OUT in my little space in the corner. Sometimes I catch myself dancing and then realize I'm in public and then I notice the stink eye from the girls across from me. Ooops.

2. I am thankful for Mike's family. They are so artistic and funny and I couldn't ask for more. I truly love them and am happy that they love me too.

3. I am so thankful for my puppies. I know I know, I get a little ridiculous when it comes to the freakin' dogs but I can't help it. They make me so happy! I mean, have you seen them?

4. I am thankful for central air and heat. Seriously. It's creeping up to the 90s soon here in Texas and I am so glad that we don't live pre aircondition unit time.

5. I am so thankful for friends and family who are totally behind me and are motivating about my crazy new endeavors. Having them be so supportive really makes me happy.

Go ahead, what are you thankful for?
