Is it really Friday? This weekend is going to be a hectic one with a birthday party for my niece and brother on Saturday. Then I have a 5k Color Run on Sunday. I think I am already tired just thinking about it. Either way it is the weekend and I am looking forward to it, so let’s get started with some Friday Favorites.
Favorite Book This Week: This book tells the story of Rachel who wakes up after an accident and realizes that the last 5 years are not as she remembers. What would you do with a second chance. The end is not what you would expect and really was just such a great story.
Five years later, Rachel returns home for the first time to celebrate her best friend’s wedding. Still coping with her grief, she can’t stop thinking about the bright future she almost had, if only that one night had gone differently. But when a sudden fall lands her in the hospital, Rachel wakes to find that her life has completely changed. Now she has her dream job as a writer and a stylish apartment, but the people she loves most are not the way she remembers them. Unable to trust her own recollections, Rachel tries to piece together what really happened, and not even she can predict the astonishing truth.
Favorite Rescue Story: Aside from Seamus’ story this one is my favorite. I mean the resemblance helps but a dog finding a home that will last melts my heart.
“My grandparents had been letting them rent the house and went to clean it up and get it ready to sell a few days after the couple moved out. That’s when they found Roscoe. He was very timid and dirty after being left in the basement. My grandparents called and let me know what had happened and without hesitation, I told them to bring him to home. He instantly took to me and we have been inseparable ever since. I was a Sophomore in high school at the time, but when I moved off to college, there was no doubt that Roscoe was going with me.”
Favorite Song: I am a rocker chick so you get a rock song. Can you dig it?!
In this life there’s no surrender
There’s nothing left for us to do
Find the strength to see this through
We are the ones who will never be broken
With our final breath
We’ll fight to the death
We are soldiers, we are soldiers
Woah woah woah whoa
We are soldiers
Favorite Mug: I have for been following Leeann’s blog for awhile and linkup with her on Monday’s for Monday Morning Gossip. Lately she has been rubbing shoulders with the cast of Dallas, Adam Levine and the other judges, and the judges of America’s Got Talent. She gets to live it up in sunny California and doesn’t rub it in…much! 😉 Although she would never say this because she is humble and down to earth I am saying it for her…
Favorite Recipe: I came across this one on Instagram and I hope to make it soon. I mean they look like actual fries not a veggie.
Funnies: I fixed my garbage disposal myself the other day and first I was like this:
Then I was like this:
I’ve seen this image on other pages and ever time I just think, yes Beyonce must have a wedgie too.
I mean it’s our right as women:
That is all I got for you, go enjoy the weekend and have fun!!
she gets to rub elbows with adam levine?! HOW??? checking out her blog right meow!!
and i need to make those pretend fries…fries are my favorite and i want to eat them all day long (but i don’t which is why i’m sad)
have a great weekend!
She is always getting red carpet events, so cool!!
The fries were sooooo good, couldn’t even tell they were rutabaga.
Good luck on your run! I’m sure youll do great with all the training you’ve been doing!
Thank you so much!! It was a lot of fun!!
I used to work at a company that sent contractors out to secure/maintain properties when people were evicted… you would NOT believe how many people left pets behind. Horrible. Just… horrible. And of course we had to look at the pictures. Let’s just say that not everyone is lucky enough to be found in time. 🙁 I’m glad that little baby WAS! 🙂
Those cajun fries look good! Everyone has up pics of food yum! Also good luck on your run!
Don’t they, I am excited to try them. Thank you. Have a great weekend!
thanks for sharing – the funnies are hilarious. that book sounds really good, gave me goosebumps. will have to try it!
Thank you. It was such a good read, surprises and really made you think.
I can’t even wait for you to make those healthy cajun fries!!! The book sounds mighty interesting!! Hope you have a great weekend!
I am kinda excited about it too! It was really good and not what I was expecting, definitely worth a read! Have a great weekend!
That is so sad that those people just moved without taking Roscoe but I’m very happy that he was rescued!
Those fries look like the real thing! I’ve never had rutabaga before and now I’m curious how it tastes. Have a great weekend!

So sad but with a happy ending. I mean that face, how could you leave him.
I haven’t either but I am going to give them a go.
I enjoy my right to get unnecessarily angry, dammit! And look at you fixing stuff and saving money on plumbers, way to go!
I am angry too. People are cruel! I couldn’t believe it worked, google wins again!
oh whenever i do something i definitely walk away like beyonce. YES. healthy fries?!
Haha! No guilt fries, sign me up!
Rutabega is delish!
LOLOL on Bey’s wedgie.
Happy Friday!
I have actually never had Rutabega so I am glad you think so I am going to give it a try this weekend if I can find it. Gonna check Whole Foods. I mean come on it does look like she has a wedgie!! 😉
Happy Friday!
Good luck with your run and have a fantastically wonderful weekend! =)
Thank you. It will be fun just getting together with the girls!
I need some good rock songs to run to. My playlist is lacking lately. Maybe I’ll add this one!!
Listen to the Devour The Day and 30 Seconds to Mars on Pandora and they have awesome new songs to listen to!
Oh those cajun fries….I need those right now I’m starving!!! It’s definitely a Beyonce kind of day isn’t it? Thanks so much for hooking me up again and making me official!! xoxoxo
Don’t they look so good and healthy! Girl is fierce! You are so very welcome!
Those fries look so good, exactly what I wanted last night! Let me know how they taste
They were amazing!!! Couldn’t tell they weren’t potato!!! Such a great alternative!!
You are so good at doing home things, I love it! Go you fixing that disposal! Have you ever shared Seamus’s story on Blogger? Take lots of pictures at the color run!
Thank you. I figure if I can try and it works, money saved. Otherwise I can call someone but worth a try first. I have shared his story. The Color Run was a blast.
Ah you are the SWEETEST!!! I feel so honored to get a shoutout from you! Thanks so much!!
I still wonder how I’m in the same vicinity as these famous people bc I know I am so not a big deal lol!
I love resuce stories. Between my parents and I we have FOUR rescues…which is a handful lol. It’s impossible not to help though. People are such jerks when it comes to animals.
Thanks again for the shout out! Have a great weekend, I know you’ll do at least 36727 things hehe 🙂
You are so welcome! Just enjoy it, I saw the new one at America’s Got Talent. How fun! That is a handful but so much cuteness too!! I would have more if I could, hopefully soon. Hope you have a great weekend!
Cajun fries? Yes, please. I basically almost forgot everything before that because….yum.
Rescue stories just melt my heart!
I love that mug. I need to be walking around with one….make me feel important!
Have a great weekend girl!
Haha! They were so good too! We are all kinda a big deal so we deserve that mug! 😉
Ah, that rescue story! Have fun celebrating your niece’s birthday!
So glad Roscoe found a forever home. Thank you, she was so cute and had a fun time!
Eeep! Your run is today and I hope it goes fantastic for you!! She totally has to have a wedgie and those fries look absolutely delicious! Love the rescue story and I’m so glad there are people out there that just can’t say no to an animal when others have left them for worse. Happy Sunday girl!
Thank you, it was a lot of fun but I need to run more! haha! The fries were so good. Couldn’t even tell they weren’t potatoes. It is so sad to read but love a happy ending adoption story, to many puppies need homes.
did you ever read my charlie’s rescue story? i had never owned a pet until him. you know how some people aren’t into kids? that was me for animals. but that’s changed! it was the best split decision i ever made!
I don’t think I have. I’ll have to search for it. Love a good adoption story! Glad you came over to the dog side! 😉
Loved that book too! Sometimes I wish I had a do over!
Wouldn’t that be nice! I know there are a few things I would do differently.
