5 On Friday (8.9.13)

I hope you are all having a glorious week! I thought I'd kick off the weekend with a little layout overhaul! Thanks for stopping by to see this blog's fancy new attire. :) Work has been a little thin lately in the glorious world of Mickey and dreams and pixie dust... as evidenced by this post.

// Stuff On The Cat //

Who doesn't love torturing their pets by putting random things on top of them? Here, Orzo The Cat is sporting Timothy's sweaty t-shirt and, on the right, you'll see a lovely abstract smattering of napkins and show scripts. Is that annoyance you sense in his glare? No. That's couture.

// Orange Is The New Black //

Remember that time Timothy and I started this show on Sunday afternoon and finished the entire first season by Thursday? Yeah. That happened. If you have Netflix, this is an exclusive series and it is absolutely amazing. Not going to lie, if extremely crass dialogue and dirty situations offend you, this is not the show for you. But, if you want to see some of the finest acting in a hilariously dark context, get in on some of this. Pronto.

// Clean Eating Tuna Casserole //

Cooked up some yummy Clean Eating Tuna Casserole this week. Tasted great but I'd add a little kosher salt if you try this recipe. Came out a little bland in the beginning. Also, I've fallen in love with Ziplist to keep track of my recipes and meal planning! You can even send your meal plans to your Google Calendar or iCal, as well as download the App on your phone for mobile shopping lists. Love it!

// Lifesaver Berry Bites Gummies //

What is more enticing than a Lifesaver Gummy? A Lifesaver Gummy with white on the bottom. It's like the blue shark gummies of Lifesavers. What is happening? I want to eat all of them right now. Danger, danger.

// This Song //

... Which I had forgotten about. Enjoy.

What is tickling your fancy this week? Happy Friday!

Yard Sales And Quiet Walks

Ah, the quiet of a Saturday to myself after a full week of clowning hysterics. You can't beat it.

There was a community yard sale happening in an apartment complex down the road from us so I decided to take a morning walk over to see if I could find some treasures. I failed to remind myself that distance is highly based on perspective. Cars are fast. Human feet (sans Olympic champs) are not . So, what I thought would be a five minute skip-to-my-lou turned into 25 minute trek. UPHILL! Apparently I'm a grandma.

Still, it was a breezy overcast day and a little cat greeted me on my journey. I can't complain. :)

I scored a nice white canvas shower curtain, some Scentsy smell-good tarts, and a cute wallet (or so I thought. Turned out to be a tiny photo album. I WANT MY QUARTER BACK!). The damage? Six bucks. Nailed it.

I've spent the remainder of the evening losing hours to Pinterest and listening to old songs from high school. Hey, remember when John Mayer was normal?

In my pursuit of nostalgic tunes, I rediscovered this hidden Jason Mraz gem. You're welcome.

Happy Saturday! :)

Cats Are People Too

About the only thing that saves me from the descriptor, "crazy cat lady" is that I have a husband, I brush my hair regularly, and I own less than twelve cats. However, judging the amount of cat decor around our apartment (mostly gifted to me which speaks volumes about what people think of me i.e. "that I'm a crazy cat lady"), you'd never know.

My mom gave me this AWESOME piece of art that she found at Goodwill. It looks like it's straight out of Urban Outfitters. It's totally us and I've had it for a couple of years now hanging up at the various apartments in which I've dwelled. I decided now in my 27th year of life and (stoopid) adulthood that I'd classy this little number up with a sophisticated coat of paint. Now, it says, "I'm an adult who understands the importance of ironic grandma art. Boom."

P.S. If cats are people too, how come Princess Baby Cat

doesn't understand that a paintbrush is not a toy?
