Happy Friday!

Hey yall!  It's Friday...yay!  And although I haven't done this in a LONG time, I'm linking up for...

1.  My bedtime routine includes: a LOOONG process of washing my face.  Moving into the yucky air/water/pollution of DC (and maybe the fear of aging) has added a few extra steps to my face care regimen. My favorite part of the process...my Clarisonic. Like many in the blog-world I SWEAR by it. I also brush my teeth and if I haven't already I get into my pjs (sometimes happens as soon as I walk in the door). Some nights I will drink some hot tea (Tazo Calm is my favorite).  I don't have cable in my bedroom, so I always pop in a DVD and hit the sleep timer.  

2.   I am    drinking alot of water lately.  It's amazing how well it makes me feel.

3.  I can't stand    rudeness       because    my mother raised me with manners. :)  

4. My idea of relaxation would be   a VACATION! Since the wedding is consuming so much of our time and travel (all wonderful things...I'm definitely not complaining here) I am really looking forward to our honeymoon.  We're REALLY close to completing those plans.  We originally had planned on going to Istanbul, Turkey but as John researched he found out how hot it will be there in August.  Travel isn't recommended during that time and John HATES being hot, so onto plan B! We think we've decided on a location, but wanted to sleep on it last night and will hopefully book our travel this weekend.  I'm excited to share the final result with you all! 

 

5. If I had an extra $50, I would    Probably save it...as lame as that sounds! I'm trying to be more frugal with lots of expenses coming up in the upcoming months.  If the rule was I had to spend it right now.... I would get something with my soon-to-be new monogram on it.  I've been holding out on buying any monogrammed items after John and I started talking about marriage.  I REALLY want some of these adorable earrings from Swell Caroline.  

6. The best thing about a bloggy friend is     connecting with lovely ladies with similar interests.  I feel like we all go through similar experiences and can share ideas and advice.  Since most of my online time is centered around wedding plans I LOVE looking at your beautiful weddings to get ideas!

7.  A recipe I've been dying to try is   something sweet!!!  After I saw the pic of the Caramel Cake that Beantown Prepster posted (it looks AMAZING), I've been craving cake with no excuse (a holiday or someones birthday) to eat it.   I'm not giving in though and keep telling myself "What Would Kate Eat"??  Kate would not make a cake just for herself with no occasion.



Yes it's still up beside my desk.





I hope yall have a wonderful weekend and a VERY happy...

Cinco De Mayo!!!
