OK, so here's my recipe for today's awesome day:
Get out of work - check. Since the 4th is on Saturday, we got today off! Which means not only did I not have to suffer through 8 1/2 hours on the job, but I got to sleep in!
Wake up leisurely - check. In addition to sleeping in, I was able to relax for a while in the backyard before I even had to bother getting out of my robe. Took a few pics of the animals, plus there's always something blooming in my mom's garden:
Have an awesome mani - check =). Having nails that make me smile at a glance is always a bonus. I've got a ton of comments on this that I don't have time at the moment to respond to, but I will say that I saw this design in a tutorial & as soon as I find it again I will post so you can see how easy it is. Here's a sun shot, or check out yesterday's post for the rest of the pics:
Spend the day with people you like - check. Friday is family day & unlike some unfortunate people I do actually get along with mine. Headed to grandma & grandpa's for lunch & staying through at least dinner, with the next "ingredient" in between.
Do something you enjoy - check. Well, I actually don't normally enjoy shopping, but since the trip down to Rochester to visit my cousin didn't work out, I suggested we go shopping ... at Ikea =) Yes that's right I'll be coming home with my Helmers today if all goes well!
I'll be sure to post up pics as soon as I have them assembled. Which will probably be soon given my lack of holiday plans. Until then, thanks for reading.

I love your manicure and will definitely watch the video. Your cat and dog are adorable. Your Mother's flowers are beautiful. I love the lillies. I would like to have a polish this color. Do you have anything in your stash to match it? Enjoy your time off and give your dog a good belly rub and your cat a kiss.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post to read !!! I loved everything :-) The pets are so cute, the flowers are stunning and your mani is so gorgeous !!
ReplyDeleteLUCY - I'm sure I do have a polish that color, but finding it would be the problem! Although, I will be resorting everything by color when I put it in the Helmers
ReplyDeleteTULI - Thanks =) I like having a chance to share other pretty & fun things as well as nails
