5 Things Friday

I have skipped a few Fridays but I'm back at it now!!

Here are my 5 things for the week:

1. Tomorrow, I will be going on the 2nd Annual Granbury Wine Walk with a few of my friends. Lately I have grown to accept wine as a good friend. It's like liquid Prozac, I swear.

When I come home from a stressul day, I pour me a glass of wine and it seems to melt away my stress. I just relax with my husband and child on the front porch and enjoy life. Thank you, wine. How awesome of you to do that for me.

Other than wine is awesome, I don't know much about wine. I know there are different grapes that are fermented to make the different wines, and that certain foods go with certain wines, and certain wines are fermented with things like wood, chocolate and whatnot. But that's about it. I know that it goes way more in depth that my simple mind.

I'm taking this lovely opportunity in my hometown to learn more about wine and maybe find a wine I like other than the Franzia (yes, in the box) Chillable Red.... I know, I'm a cheapo.

I will post later about this cool little venue.

2. I went and seen "Chimpanzee" in the theatres last Sunday. All I can say is "WOW!"

The cinematography was amazing and breathtaking.

The movie took you into the rain forest and you witnessed first hand the lives of a tribe? group? pride? what's the right word? of Chimpanzees that were being threatened by a rival pack for their territory and you watched as they struggle to keep their land.

It was very interesting to see the heirarchy of the group and how they conducted their lives.

It is insane to me how when you looked into their faces and you couldn't help but think of how human-like they are. No I'm not going all Darwinism on you... just a fact.

"Oscar" is the young chimp that loses his mother and is forced to find another chimp to take her place to teach him how to survive.

The chimp that takes on the job is one you would never suspect....

It is definitely a must see plus a portion of the proceeds of ticket sales of the first 2 weeks of the movie will be donated to the the Jane Goodall Institute. You already know I'm a sucker for fundraisers and animals.

3. I am IN LOVE with Epiphanie camera bags!!!!

I will be saving my money and buying one of these. Check out the goodness!!

4. Hallelujah for haircuts!!!

I always wait until the last minute to call my hair girl and schedule an appointment. You know, to the point where you want to go all Britney Spears on yourself and take the clippers to your scalp.

I'm there but my husband hid the clippers. So I guess I will have to wait until later today for my haircut.

5. Besides the Wine Walk this weekend, I will take full advantage of my calendar not having any "to do"s on it and I will veg to the best of my ability.

From now until I don't even know when, we will be blowin' and a goin' every weekend. I better go stock up on "No Doze". I'm kidding, I'm kidding.... maybe. We will see.

Happy Friday!

Peace and Blessings!

5 Things Friday

Instead of writing a blog about everything little single thing that happens in my life, I have decided to start "5 Things Friday" to give you the skinny. Here we go!

1. This is my second week of kickboxing and every time I go, another body part is sore.

Not just a little achy sore, it's more like you have to just let yourself fall on the toilet to go to the bathroom because your legs are so sore that your legs quiver everytime you bend your knees and you feel like you just might collapse. How embarassing would that be? To be laid out in the bathroom at work, especially in the middle of trying to go to the bathroom! Think about it!  REALLY embarassing!

Like you don't want to get out of bed because your husband makes fun of you for how long it takes and then you look like an old granny and need a cane sore.

Like you can't even lift your hair brush up to your hair to comb sore.

BUT, that means that I'm working hard and burning fat so I LOVE it! I wish I could marry kickboxing I love it so much!

On Chalene Johnson's blog she always talks about finding your soulmate workout because if you are exercising in a way that you love and are happy doing it then it doesn't seem like a chore and you don't dread doing it every day.

Basically what I'm saying is that kickboxing is my Clint to exercizing.

2. I am so excited to go see "The Hunger Games" movie today! For all of those people that I scoffed at their frenzy and waiting for hours in line at the theatres to see "Twilight", I get it. I totally get it. Sorry for making fun of you.

3. I made this Italian Cream Cake from my new Pioneer Woman Cookbook for the girls and guys at work this week and it was a SUPER hit! It was absolutely delicious. A big ol' cake was gone in a day and a half. You should make one today.

4. I want a chicken coop!

After going and buying the little chicks last weekend for pictures and taking them to their new home at Ron and Beth's house, I REALLY want a chicken coop!

You know one of those really fancy ones with the laying boxes and the big enclosed yard for them to roam? Yep, I want one of those. Maybe if I start saving now, I will be able to get one when I'm 63. There's something to look forward to!

5. We are moving!!! Wahoo!!!! We get to move out to the ranch that Clint works on. I am so excited I want to do a cartwheel right now, but I'm not going to because I'm too sore.

I will be so glad to look out my window and see pastures with horses and green grass all over the place! I'm so happy Blaze has a big place to play and not worry about cars.

Everything happens for a reason! Life is good!

And that my friends, is this week's 5 Things Friday!
