OMG! It’s Friday! I am happy to link up with Andrea and Erika for this fun link up!
My AP Spanish exam was yesterday! I am so happy to be done! My seniors were done. done. Alas, it’s been a year so I don’t really blame them. I think everyone felt the crazy of this year deep in their bones. We started school August 9th only to go home and not start again until August 21st due to our bussing fiasco. We also had a new bell schedule this year and the addition of metal detectors. It felt like a lot!
But, today is my last day with these seniors and the seniors in my other classes. I will really miss them! They have all next week to do activities, but they just check into first period so they aren’t really in class anymore.
Let’s talk about some faves from the week. It’s definitely a hodge podge!
This dressing is a fave of the whole family. We are trying to eat more salads and we had one with this one this week. I found mine at Kroger.
We found Eddie Otis chilling in the dog wash one evening when we couldn’t find him. We figured out he is attracted to the cool tile. Guess what he never lays on – his two dog beds!
Who you lookin’ at?
Asleep:
Erica and I are also doing more salads for lunch. Monday I did my strawberry salad:
lettuce, grilled chicken, goat cheese or feta, sunflower seeds, strawberries, and Brianna’s vinaigrette.
One dinner and one lunch was ground turkey yum yum bowls. I loosely used Carolina Charm’s recipe.
Erica made a great white lasagna soup. Will have to get her recipe. She used Barilla Protein noodles!
This week’s mani is a blue French and it matches my pedi. My pedi is Essie Ripple Effect. I own it and took it to the salon.
Tom got me Costco flowers that I am enjoying! I needed two vessels there were so many!
I picked up this fun half cookie half brownie cake at Kroger for grad. We’ve all enjoyed some of it this week!
Another week, another Chobani creamer. I didn’t like this one as much as hazelnut. Hazelnut and Cookie Dough remain my faves.
I made the double chocolate croissants from Trader Joe’s last weekend. Yum!
I actually had a chance to drink some coffee on the patio on a rainy morning this week!
Tom surprised me one night this week with these cool lights that Steak and Bourbon has.
He found a knock off on Amazon. I think they are super cool! They have two levels of light and you just touch to turn on. It’s from his Amazon account so I don’t have a link right now.
I offered temporary tatoos for AP to get in the zone for the exam. One arm model:
Eddie Otis got to use Ernie’s old baby pool this week and loved it!
Who me?
And, I only wish Tom looked at me like this. I think someone is in love.
Do you have a favorite from the week? I hope you had many!

So many great favs to choose from to comment on! I love that blue pedicure polish with the blue tipped nails. I went to get a pedicure yesterday and almost went with a similar blue! I think I’ll use it on my nails the next time since I went neutral on my pedicure; I went with white/mint color called Suzi Chases Portu-Geese. I love it and think it’ll look great with everything! Your lunches and dinners sound amazing, but that strawberry salad is stunning. I have been on a salad kick lately, thanks to some Thai vinaigrette I found at Walmart. I add in a few pieces of air fried chicken nuggets, and it’s a great meal! I love EO on the tile and in Ernie’s baby pool! And what you said about Tom made me laugh. Have a great day, my friend!

Eddie Otis is really growing! I love how much joy he has brought into your lives. There really is nothing like the love of a dog. It’s honestly so unconditional.
Your mani/pedi looks great! I love the blue on you!
Have a super weekend my friend!

Eddie Otis is too cute! My husband has a similar expression when looking at our dogs! Lol Our weather is a hodgepodge right now but I’m looking forward to being out on the deck with a book as soon as the weather is warmer. Glad your school year is winding down. Here’s to summer! Oh, I bought one of the Chick Fila dressings but haven’t tried it yet.

Thank you! If only he would stop the biting. Yes, we built a mudroom with our renovation and we love it. Now, if we could find money for the kitchen!

Great blue manicure! I actually have the same color on my fingers, also Essie, but a slightly different hue. Really cool to match toes and fingers like that!
Such a nice thing to offer tattoos to your students! I understand that they love you!
