friday things

1. I am totally over this week.  It's been long, cold, rainy...and today I tried to clean up my desk at work and a spider crawled out from under a stack of papers.  A FREAKING SPIDER!  So yeah, that's how my week has been.

2. Did anyone know it's National Margarita Day?  I can't think of a better way to forget this dreary week than with a marg...like this one maybe.  Treat yo'self.

3. I've gone to the gym three days a week, two weeks in a row now!  Staying strong on the fitness train...for now, at least.  I will say this...and I know you've probably heard it a million times, but seriously, a good playlist makes all the difference.  I actually put some effort into making a playlist last week, and it has 100% made working out a little less miserable.

4. This morning Joe and I got tickets to go see The Postal Service on June 6th, and I am super pumped!  Totally brings back flashbacks from my junior and senior years in high school.

Also, I'm excited just to go see a show with Joe.  He's bought me tickets to see three concerts since we've known each other, but he's never gone with me to see one.

I can't understand why on Earth he wouldn't want to be my guest to Hanson, Taylor Swift, or Bieber.  Ha.

5. My obsession with coconut oil is still in full swing {best moisturizer I've ever used, hands down}, but I want to start playing with it more in the kitchen.

And not just on popcorn, even though I did make the best batch of popcorn I've ever had a couple weekends ago - coconut oil, sea salt, and cayenne.
Do it.
Now.

I'm thinking about trying these little buddies next.

6. Can we please talk about how adorable these puppy bowties are?

And I don't even really like bowties.
But if it was AJ in a bowtie, I just might.

7.  This weekend will be spent getting some quality time in together before Joe heads out to San Francisco all next week for work, trying to find a new place to live when our lease runs out {two more months!}, and going out in Virginia Highland to celebrate Kayla's birthday.

Oh and of course, THE OSCARS!
I have totally jumped on the I-love-award-shows bandwagon and have been counting down to Sunday.
And I will absolutely be tweeting up a storm, so feel free to follow along!

Anyone else doing anything fun?

Happy weekend, everyone!
