Friday Five

1. Every year about this time, my national holiday occurs, otherwise known as the Smith College Used Book Fair.  I can spend hours upon hours just browsing the thousands of books. The last few years have been quite successful so I was pretty optimistic about it this year. Turns out, I was right.  18 books at a fraction of the price if I had purchased them new.  Now where exactly to put them...

2. Cooking Fast and Fresh with West: As someone who spends a great deal of time on Pinterest, I can tell you that you can find all sorts of fun things.  For a while now, I've been seeing the Supernatural fanboys and fangirls post ALOT about some actor named Misha Collins, one of those posts was a YouTube video of him cooking with his son.  West, his little boy is absolutely adorable.  And what an awesome idea to teach all sorts of important life lessons and skills.  Also, the 2 are hilarious.  I may not get the whole Supernatural-creepy ghost stuff, but I'm all on board for whatever else this guy has to offer.  Way to be a fantastic dad!

              

3. Vellum: Due to a super sale at Joann's last week, I was finally able to get a good deal on the package of vellum I've been coveting.  I can't wait to start crafting all the fun cards and crafts I've seen using it.  Seeing as the first card went so well, you could say I'm pretty darn excited!  (After re-reading that - please don't judge me for the nerdy little victories I celebrate, I know I'm a dork...)

4. New hair that's not so new but not so old either.  It's a pretty color for spring thus eliminating that god-awful greys up front and is in a fairly easy to deal with (whether or not it's still easy to deal with after tomorrow, remains to be seen) style that's not too long and not too short.  I feel like Goldilocks, especially since there's some blonde in there too : )

5. Birthday coupons: I love this time of year, spring is springing, birds are singing, and stores are desperate to make you shop so they send you all sorts of coupons as birthday presents.  I've already received one from LOFT, Vera Bradley, & Pandora.  Shopping is just so much more fun, when you just know you're saving a whole heck of a lot of money!
