Friday Randoms

I am sooooooo happy it's Friday! Like, I could totally do a cartwheel down my company's hallways right now!

 

My sweet B begins middle school Monday and I am NOT ready for this milestone y'all. For those of you that pray could you send a few prayers up for a safe and fulfilling school year? 

 

Like I do every year, I am taking the first week of school off from work.  

 

I have a page and a half list of things I would like to get done around the house but it seems I will be doing more leisurely things with friends and sort of friends.

 

I'm cool with that!

 

There will be tons of cleaning going on. Starting tonight with my foyer closet. It is stuffed to the gills...wait till I show y'all the picture. Shameful

 

OMG My garage y'all...is deplorable!!! I start the cleanup tomorrow while B is getting beauty maintenance!

 

Eeeek middle school!

I have to wash and deep condition B's hair tonight.  I am leaving work early to start the process. #LettucePray

I am truly exhausted. There has been and still is a lot going on at work right now. It is wearing me clean out! Mentally anyways.

It is a blessing to be a blessing. Even when things are off in my own life, helping someone else ALWAYS makes me feel good.

I don't like people who try to take advantage. I can sense them out immediately. 

 

Ask for what you want, don't try to play me. I know A LOT more than I will ever let on.  

Do you follow me on Instagram @SoGirlCitySwirl? You should! I stay posting stuff over there that never make it to the blog. Like those Honey Buttered Fried Chicken Biscuits...go on over there and check them out. 

 

They were divine though I only had half of one.

 

Think that's all I got.

 

 

What's going on random with you??

 


 

Happy Monday!

The Friday Five: Full Weekend Ahead

Hey strangers! How has your summer gone? Quickly? Mine too! Can you for real believe it is time for the kids to go back to school?? I mean it is nearly September!

Although I've been posting on Instagram (@sogirlcityswirl), I have mostly been enjoying my family, hence the near non-existent posts. I think it is always a great idea to take a break every now and again to get your mind right!  I will begin posting regularly again next week.

The weekend will be busy for us.  Here are five of the fun things we will be getting into:

1.  B will be heading to a two hour cheer camp tomorrow evening. She took up tumbling over the summer and loves it!  So this will be an extension of that.

2.  After dropping B off with her favorite guy, I will high tail it to the Miller Outdoor Theatre for The Robert Glasper Experience.  I LOVE really good live music. The fact that it is free is a bonus!

3.  Saturday we will head to Dave and Buster’s with 
two of her cousins for a little mini back to school fun day

4. Saturday evening it is the Discovery Green Flea by Night. I've been trying to get to this all summer!

5.  Finally on Sunday I will head to Austin for the day to spend quality time with a really good friend. I will be cooking her meal and we are going to just talk each other’s heads off!  I’m going to make roasted chicken, fresh sautéed spinach and my favorite potatoes.  For dessert I’m making us fresh lemon tarts.  I’m surprising her with mini lemon pound cakes for her to enjoy while she is on vacation. Those are her favorite!
