Five for Friday!

Hey, friends!  I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for "Five for Friday"!  :)  Are you ready for a hodgepodge of gloriousness?!  Here's a little peek at my week:

1.  I have new bangs that I can wear straight across or swoop to the side, and I kind of love them.

2.  I've been on Instragram for a while now, but I finally got around to actually using it this week.  LOVE IT!  You can follow me on Instagram by clicking the image below!  I don't have much yet, but stay tuned!  :)

3.  I have really wavy, sometimes unruly hair, so admittedly I MAY own too many hair products.  And yes, I realize that this picture makes me look like somewhat persnickety, but my mane is a fickle beast.

4.  I took my dog to the vet yesterday.  It is BY FAR her least favorite place, and the vet is BY FAR her least favorite person, even though he is, in fact, a really nice guy.  {He actually may be the only person in the world that Loralei does not absolutely CRAVE attention from.}  While waiting for our turn, she panted and paced.  At one point, she frantically jumped onto a padded bench in an attempt to hide behind me. She clearly did not understand that half of her body was still visible to the nurse who was laughing uncontrollably, and she clearly did not realize that the ledge behind her could not support the weight or width of a golden retriever.  She totally tried to climb it in a fit of panic.  She literally tried to curl around my shoulders.  Of course, I was a responsible pet owner, and told her to get down, but who am I kidding?  It was totally AFTER I snapped this super blurry picture to show Mr. Wonderful!

5.  At this point, we have 6 more school days before my kiddos will take the Reading OAA.  I stayed after school for a while to prep my room for the big reveal on Monday, and I am SO excited!  We are ready for the BIG Testing Blitz.  It's going to be a FOOTBALL FRENZY!  You'll definitely want to check in later this weekend to see what we've been up to!  In the meantime, Happy Friday!
