Happy Friday!! I am so glad for this week to be coming to an end. It has been long, stressful and frenzied!! Every night I come home more exhausted than the day before. It doesn’t help that I haven’t been to the gym all week. I am trying to keep it together and looking forward to next Tuesday when the fiscal year ends and I can breathe again. So this week I have just been trying to get by. So this week for 5 on Friday I will share with you a few thing that helped me get by or kept me relatively sane.
One. The title of this post comes from the ending song from this movie. Ice cream by Sara McLaughlin. This movie is such a classic and one of my favorites. Yes, I own the DVD and would watch it every time it is on TV. Total chick flick but hey, I am a girl to there.
Two. Nothing more is needed.
Three. Thanks to Maddie for posting the sappiest saddest cryfest video. The video was playing Butterfly Kisses which reminded me of my Dad. See my Freshman year of college I was away at Ohio State University over 800 miles from my Dad and brother and feeling really homesick. My Dad sent me a care package and it included the CD with Butterfly kisses. He really tries hard to be a tough guy but he really is a softie. That is why he is the BEST.DAD.EVER!! I am so lucky to have had him to raise me. I know it was really tough for him being a single Dad but he was always there for me.
Four. Pretty much how I have felt all week.
Five. Wine. I don’t drink often and I showed such restraint by holding out till Thursday but it helped. This was a wine I won at a party once and I really like it. I don’t typically like Red as I find it a little too sharp and musky. This is a dessert wine so it is a little more fruity. It is Alasia Brachetto d’Acqui from Italy. Nothing wrong with an Italian, just saying!
Well I will be counting down the minutes to the end of the work day and hoping and praying that next week is a little less hectic and i am going to get back to the gym and hit it hard! Have a great weekend everyone!
What helps you get through a bad day or bad week?
Music, friends, wine… and food. Which that last one is not good! Hope your weekend is better than your week!
Yes the food is a good and bad! Thankfully the toughest part is over. Monday is the last day and then it is over! Better when you can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Then I can crash and sleep for a whole day! 🙂
You’re almost done! Hang in there!
I can almost taste the wine!!
That e-card is my life. Cheers to the weekend and I hope Friday goes by oh-so-fast for you!
So true, right!! Thank goodness it is hear, today is flying by.
Bed of Roses is one of my favorite movies! Haven’t seen it in forever!
It is such a classic!! You should watch it again, totally makes me tear up!
Butterfly Kisses always makes me cry!
It is such an amazing song!! I cry every time too so I completely understand!!
Your dad is awesome!!! That is the sweetest thing EVER! Have an amazing weekend!
He really is, makes it hard for guys to live up to but I am glad I had a good example growing up!
I love that quote about being kind. So true. Thanks for sharing!
It is sometimes hard to remember but it is so true! Thanks!
I love #2. One of the best quotes and I think it in my head often.
Your dad is so sweet!
Sometimes we just never know what some is going through. I know i tend to keep the big things to myself! He is one of the best, kindest and sweetest guys I know! Thanks!
Gooo Kerry, you’re almost there!! And I haven’t seen that chick flick romance but I’m going to look for it now. Enjoy the weekEND!
Thank you!! It was a long week for sure, but I made it. Looking forward to a quieter week coming up. It is such a great movie and such a sweet love story. Well worth watching. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Bed of Roses is one of my favorites too! And I definitely need to try that wine. Happy weekend!
It is such a great movie!! It is a really good wine for those who aren’t really big into red wines! So good! Hope you are having a great weekend!
Number 2 is a great saying… something I need reminding of often. That e-card made me laugh… sums up how I feel just about every hour at work. 🙂
