HIGH FIVE FOR FRIDAY! Whew I just wasn't sure that this day was ever going to get here....how can the short weeks aka weeks with holidays from work seem so stinkin' long? 1. 4 day work week and we spent it on the lake. Music Man was our fishing guide and he did good, we came home with enough for dinner for a couple of nights and he held Military Friend's fish for her. Red beers at nine am on a Monday, anyone? 2. Its flip flop season! Tan toes here I come.   3.  I made it through 2 bike rides with the mountain bikers....and the second felt better than the first. I know I don't look like I'm having fun or like I'm not dying, but trust me.....I felt better. 4. Color Run and hiking with the best friend and sister....technically last week but who follows the rules all the time. 5. And this will be waiting for me when that 5 o'clock whistle blows! Bring on the weekend!

It's Friday! Time to celebrate! I'm linking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk for High Five for Friday! Snowboarding: This last storm brought over a foot of snow to some of the ski areas that are near me, too bad its been about 10 degree (or -10).....but its supposed to be a heat wave this weekend, forecasted high of 37! My dog: She is always happy to see me when I come home! Babies with bows: To be clear she isn't really mine, but I LOVE being Aunt Jen. 4 day weekend: Yay for MLK Day....you will probably find me strapped to my board on the mountain, using $40 of my remaining $50 "envelope cash" on a lift ticket. Yeah, I'm responsible like that.  These delicious energy packed power balls - they taste like cookies, but are much better for you at least that is what I tell myself! Click here for the recipe. I have never once followed this recipe exactly.....be free, experiment! Happy Friday!
