Five on Friday

TGIF--- can I get heck yea!?!? Today is a Friday first and I am doing a link-up with some other lovely blogger ladies and sharing my "Five on Friday". Basically you just share five things that are on your mind. Anything is game! Also this week they are raising awareness about Menkes Syndrome. A terrible, terminal and RARE disease that has affected Mary and Alex Fish and their son Theodore (Teddy). Go #TeamTeddy!! (Back story can be found here)

Here goes anything!!

one: This is the second weekend in a row that we have little to no plans for the weekend and I am LOVING it!! Many our friends live in other areas of the state or out of state and neither of our families live in town so we are constantly on the road visiting them. I cannot even remember the last time we did not have any plans for two weekends in a row! I think I will get some cleaning done around the house, relax, and work on some future blog posts!

two: I enjoy leisurely reading although sometimes it may take me awhile from start to finish! I love curling up in a warm blanket, with a cup of coffee and enjoying an afternoon of getting lost in a book. The book I am currently reading is Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Libby Day was seven years old when her two sisters and mother were murdered in her home. At seven Libby Day testified that it was her brother who killed the rest of her family. Now Libby is in her thirties and second guessing herself. The book is about her quest to find the real truth about what happened that night. It is rumored to be a movie later this year as well as Flynn's other book Gone Girl which will feature Ben Affleck.
Is there a book you're reading or recently finished that you would recommend??

three: Plain and simple--- doing taxes stinks!! We have been working on ours for the last week or so and learned that we are going to have to pay back in over $2500!!! BOO! Just makes me nauseous thinking about it. It comes as a surprise to us (thinking-- hey we got married we should do alright this year right!?!?) and I think not planning for it causes it to deliver a bigger blow!

four: Last week I purchased a couple skirts from Old Navy.com and they just came in the mail the other day (side note-- I LOVE getting mail!).  I have seen some fellow bloggers do some super cute things with skirts and I am excited to try it out! I can't wait to see what I come up with. Stay tuned lovelies! What is your favorite way to style a skirt in the winter?

five: Since I have a few days off before I have to be back to work and no plans, I think I may paint my nails! My job does not allow me to have painted nails at work and I really miss it! I enjoy doing it myself and feel more feminine with them painted! I love Essie's nail polishes: they have such fun colors! Do you have a favorite nail polish??

Thanks for stopping by!! 

Have a great weekend!
