I don’t know about you guys, but this summer is wreaking havoc on ability to get shit done. Ordinarily, I’m pretty productive, staying on top of everything I need to do and accomplish but as of late, I do nothing of value. Let’s rephrase–I do nothing. It’s not like I don’t try but I get about halfway finished and then say fuck it and go about my day, reading the internets or a book or playing RummiKub on my iPad or binge watch White Collar. I keep telling myself that school starts in a few more weeks and everything will get back to normal.
It’s good to have dreams.
As for my Friday favorites, it’s the one streak I’ve kept alive this summer so let’s dive into that so I don’t feel like a complete failure.
Favorite song
When you’re home all day with a 7 year, what you listen to pretty much goes down the crapper and I treasure the few moments each day when we actually agree on a song. Like this one.
Favorite frugal find
When we went to pick up our painted ceramic figures from a paint your own pottery place in our town, we found out that they have tye-dye. I was not spending $15 for one shirt (especially knowing she was going to want to do more than one) so I went to the craft store, found 2 shirts and a kit, and I had a 25% off coupon. That means we got two projects for roughly $10 instead of $30. I don’t even mind the fact that I have blue hands now.
On other note, the craft store had Halloween projects on display. HALLOWEEN. For shame, Michael’s. For shame.
Favorite internet thing
Steph mentioned it yesterday but it’s worth repeating because my inner grammar nerd freaked out with glee when I saw the Weird Al Word Crimes video. I’m sure you’ve seen it but if not, here it is:
Also on my list of internet things I loved are this BuzzFeed post on sister tattoos (one of my sisters is on board. We need to work on the other) and this Huffington Post post (because flying with a kid is hard enough without people hating you simply because you need to bring your child with you. Trust when I say, most of us are trying our hardest to control them. Those who don’t, well, they deserve the hate).
Favorite book/TV thing
This one’s a combo.
As if Gone Girl and Dark Places being released as movies this year isn’t enough for me as a Gillian Flynn fan, I read that Sharp Objects is going to be a TV show!!! I don’t invest in many new shows (because inevitably the ones I like get canceled) but I will be giving time to this one. Because Gillian Flynn.

I need to be prepared
Thanks to Nadine, I understand why this is funny.

LOOK ME IN THE EYES!!!
Next week, I’m on vacation (sort of) so I’ll be sharing some older posts with you guys. I hope you like them! I’ll be sharing lots of pics (provided I remember) on Instagram so if you don’t already, follow me over there!
Have a great weekend!
Linking up with Amanda.
I am glad that all of blog land now knows what turn down for what means. Otherwise we would miss all the jokes!
I always hate when I don’t realize I am having the last bite of something. It is so disappointing and unsettling.
I have not read Gone Girl, perhaps it is about that time. AFTER I finish the Stephanie Plum series 🙂
Have a great weekend!

No. You must put down Stephanie Plum and read Gone Girl. Trust me on that one. It’s so good, it’ll be a fast read. Then you can resume the other books.
But Stephanie Plum books are SO good! 😀

YES!!! You must read all of her books (there are 3). They are amazing!!! So dark and twisted and messed up but intriguing and almost impossible to put down.
If it makes you feel any better I can’t stop binge watching Scandal, so I haven’t gotten anything done lately either. Whoops! That Weird Al video is hilarious and I love it. I’ve only read Gone Girl but I would love to read Gillian Flynn’s other two books!!

Love that song! No, Halloween is my favorite holiday but it is too early. I have only read Gone Girl but interested to see what the show will be.
I love Gillian Flynn. I’ve only read Gone Girl though, I need to read her others!

My sister and I have sister tattoos, it was a real feat since my sister passes out at the sight and thought of needles. I’m always glad we have them, she’s my best friend!
Enjoy your sort of vacation!

Gone Girl was SOOOO good. I had heard all this hype about it, imagine my surprise when I start reading and it’s set in Missouri — WHA??? That never happens. I can’t wait to see the movie. Are her other books just as good?
I don’t think I could get my sister to buy into sister tattoos… but if there is anyone I would get a matching tattoo with, it’s her.
