How the hell is it August? Wasn’t it just June like yesterday? No? Well, that’s okay because August means school starts soon and while I love my daughter, if she doesn’t get out of my house, I’m going to lose my mind. And is it wrong that I’m already planning what I’m going to do the first day she’s back at school? (Pedicure and nap, if you were wondering.)
That said, it’s time for another round of Friday favorites except I don’t know exactly what edition this is because I have become an blogging slacker as of late (and I apologize to my blogger friends for the lack of commenting I’ve been doing. I can’t get my shit together long enough to write a comment). So I’m picking edition 15 because it seems like a good choice and maybe an approximate value. Math has never been my strength.
Favorite song
Rise Against, Audience of One. There are not enough words for how much I love this song. I feel music the way some people feel paintings or poetry and this song brings out all the emotions for me. It’s not a life changing song but it definitely changes my mood each time I listen (also, I love that it’s one of those songs that about one thing but it can be interpreted to mean so much more)
I am in the midst of a makeup bag overhaul and when I was cleaning out old lipgloss, eye shadow, and the like, I realized I had 6 MAC items that desperately needed to go. Enter MAC’s Back To MAC recycling program where if you return 6 (or more) eligible items, you get to pick out a free item (lipstick/gloss, eye shadow, or something else I’m not remembering). I purchased new lipgloss recently but I definitely needed an eye shadow refresher. And I got one. For free.
Favorite book/TV thing
Rick Springfield, “Jessie’s Girl” singer extraordinaire, wrote a memoir. So of course I have to read it. And I picked it up from the library yesterday. Along with some others:
I have no favorite TV thing this week because quite frankly, I’m pissed with TV. More specifically, I’m annoyed with On Demand And Netflix. Because none of them are showing any of the episodes of any show I need to catch up on. Complete first world problem but that’s okay because Ebola is no joke and I’ll take no new episodes of The Following on On Demand any day.
Favorite internet reads
So many good finds on the internet this week (and weeks past. Big ups to Pocket for being a great place to store these posts so I can use them). Like this post on Mashable about 90s song that are darker than you think. Some I knew, some I didn’t. Or this post on how to quickly travel through all 50 states (if I had a bucket list, this would be on it). Or if you need to waste kill some time, take this quiz, Which 80s Cartoon Are You? (I got Muppet Babies, which, given my Muppets obsession, is perfect). You can also check out this post I wrote on Monday detailing promises I made to my friends without kids.

Have a great weekend y’all! If you need me, I’ll be on my couch, binge watching the final 6 episodes of The Killing.

Brian is totally a genius.
I feel like forcing everyone I know to read your Monday post. So many of my friends loved it and my friend who just had a baby said she couldn’t stop thinking about it and asked me if she could write one about things she doesn’t want her kidless friends to stop doing in regards to her. I said hell yes! So you’ve inspired others to really think.
I seriously hope I am in a good enough spot by Sunday to watch all of The Killing. HOLDER! Wait for me!

hahahaah Bryan is my type of friend!
i’m so glad that you wrote that if your kid doesn’t leave the house, you’re going to lose your shit. too many moms out there are trying to be the perfect mom and act like their kids don’t annoy them. there are times i put kayla to bed early because mama needs a break to drink wine!!

Yay for free make-up! I need to do a make-up overhaul/refresh but geez that stuff is expensive!!! Maybe once J starts his new preschool that is a lot cheaper than where he goes now, I’ll have a little spare money. (Hooray for public school!)

Brian is fucking awesome, just sayin.
I am She-Ra Princess of Power and I don’t hate it.
Let me know how Ladies Night is, I’ve liked some of her books and hated others.

I just finished reading Eleanor and Park! Loved it. In fact, it inspired a blog post that’ll be shared on Friday.
Amber recently posted…We’re Going To Disney World! (Again!)
LOVE Rise Against! I actually just bought tickets to see them live! And free MAC? Sign me up! I think I need to do a makeup overhaul as well. Now I’m going to read your post from last Monday because obviously I’m super late to the party…
