Insta-Friday #3

Oh, Friday!!  I have missed you!!  Anyone else out there happy it is Friday?  I know I am.  Let's review the week in Instas, shall we?

I got an awesome note from the husband on the I Love You Because picture.

He's so sweet...and funny.

Kasey of Kakes by Klassic made this awesome birthday kake.  She rocks.

I don't know who Stephen is, but I know he got an awesome birthday kake!

I bought a beautiful pot of daisy mums for my office.

I went to the BFF's house and took pictures of all her precious living room decorations.  Love her living room.

I made my first and second trip to our new Trader Joe's here in Houston.

I took a couple of pictures inside the store.  The store used to be an old theater and the businesses that have been in the space have preserved a lot of the architecture of the theater, like this cool ceiling.

Trader Joe's also embraced the history of the building with some of their art.

Cute, right?

We stopped at this burger bus on one of the lunch trips this week.  It smelled fantastic!  I passed on the burger and ate the lunch I packed (another win for me on smart choices for weight loss), but I did have a cupcake.  :)

Hi Kasey!

There is also always a little time for goofing off at the office.

Hi Neil, nice flower.

I also received the best compliment on the house remodel so far and I wasn't even there to hear it!  The mom had a friend over (yes we allow her to have visitors) and after the tour they were sitting in the breakfast room.  The mom's friend was looking at my breakfast room shelves and she asked the mom if I was a decorator.

Best. Compliment. Ever.

I told the mom to tell her friend she made my day.

Once again, I am linking up over at Life Rearranged.



Have a wonderful weekend!

Grocery Store Week

I have been to a grocery store everyday this week.  A little crazy, I know.  It all started with a magazine article about a Burt's Bees body soap that I really wanted to try.  I had never really used any Burt's Bees products before this week, except for lip balm.  I looked for the soap on Tuesday at two stores starting with Trader Joe's at lunch and then during our weekly grocery store trip that evening.  The HEB didn't have the soap, but they did have this eye cream.  I'm so happy I got it...best ever!

This eye cream made me want to try the body soap even more.  Yesterday at lunch I headed to Whole Foods since I know they have a pretty good selection of Burt's Bees.  Unfortunately they didn't carry bar soaps.  Look what I did pick up for my office.

Aren't they beautiful?  I think they will make my office very fall chipper.

So, I ended up ordering the soap online.  That won't stop me from going to a grocery store at lunch today!  My friend and co-worker Kasey has been wanting to check out the Trader Joe's as well.  I am going back over there at lunch time with her today.  I might be addicted to grocery stores.  Uh, oh.

Speaking of Kasey, she is an awesome artist.  She has a little bakery called Kakes by Klassic and check out this awesome kake she had in the office for pick up yesterday.

Uh-mazing!

If you are in the Houston area and you need a kake...she's your woman!

She made this one for my niece Lindsey a while back as well.
