Five on Friday v.14

ONE:

We seem to have skipped Spring all together and jumped straight to Summer here in Central Illinois.  Just yesterday the temps topped out at 90°!  Last week I was wore a chambray shirt under a v-neck sweater and was quite content, this week I'm wearing sandals and sundresses.  Who the heck knows what next week will hold?

TWO:

Matt unearthed our patio furniture from the shed this week and I'm hopeful that we will be able to enjoy most of Mother's Day outside!  Mom and Dad are heading down after church to spend the day with us and personally, I think it's going to be worth the trip.

THREE:

Brianne from Lamm to the Laughter nominated me for my first Liebster Award!  I answered all of her great questions and selected four other bloggers in this post.

FOUR:

Just because she's so freakin' cute!

FIVE:

The first horse show of the season is Saturday, weather permitting...  After work Friday, I'll head to the barn and all the show prep will commence!  That includes: getting one last ride in, giving Louie a bath then banding his mane and braiding his foretop.  I will also load all my gear into the trailer, along with hay and water for Louie.  
Wish me luck!  

Oh, one last reminder to enter the Spring for Coffee Giveaway... Time's running out!
I hope you have a fan-freakin-tastic weekend!

Five on Friday v.13

It's finally Friday!  This week's been good, but nothing can beat the weekend!  Here's what I'm looking forward to...

ONE:

Margaritas and Mexican food.  Enough said.

TWO:

Saturday morning I'm heading to a local craft and antique show with my friend Maggie.  I don't need a darn thing, but it never hurts to look!  I'm guessing I'll come home with something though...

THREE:

The most exciting two minutes in sports.  Yes, the Kentucky Derby!  I'll be busting out my purple peacock Derby hat that I made for my wedding shower years ago.  We're having some friends over for food, drinks and racing fun!  It's guaranteed good time.

 

FOUR:

Barn time!  We've had just 'eh' weather this week and our first horse show is next Saturday so I really need to log some hours in the barn getting Louie ready.  He has to have his legs, bridle path, and face clipped and his mane trimmed.  Long story short, he's far from looking this good! 

FIVE:

I can't forget to share that I'm participating in a fun giveaway to celebrate Spring!  Everyone loves  Starbucks, a yummy smelling candle and some pretty new nail polish, right?  Well check out the goodies and enter to win!
