High Five for Friday!!!

Oh my goodness!!! I thought the week was never going to end!!! No joke!!! It was one of those "the-hits-just-keep-on-coming" weeks. We were given some "not-so-great" news at work early on in the week. On Tuesday night, I lost my keys. I found them after a frantic 20 minute long "I-know-I-brought-them-into-the-house" search. Wednesday, it turned winter-ish again with temps hovering in the low- to mid-60's. For a Florida girl, that's Polar Vortex weather. And, the week just seems to move at a snail's pace when you have something really big that you are looking forward to on the weekend.

Regardless of all the ickyness, I want to take a moment and do my weekly High Five for Friday link up.

Successfully baked a zillion chocolate chip cookies (Princess Cookies) and sugar cookies (Pirate Hardtack) this week for our Pirates and Princesses Story Time (more on that in a new Wednesday post). Okay, it was more like 144, but with my culinary skills (or lack thereof), it felt like a zillion. And, they were Place & Bake. Even so, it takes culinary talent to monitor the oven and get those babies out before they burn. :-)

FINALLY found some Vanilla Cupcake Goldfish Grahams. They were BOGO this week at my fav grocery store. Went to four different store locations on my work route, but all four were...wait for it...wait for it...sold out! Ay dios mio! Finally found some on Tuesday evening at my trusty dusty local store. Got my two packages and still have my rainchecks. Woo hoo!

My supervisor just got back from vacationing in Africa and brought us each back a "something good" as I like to call it. She brought me back this adorable and beautifully made penguin bead keychain.

Went home Wednesday night and baked some pumpkin corn muffins for my dance team's surprise Pumpkin Appreciation Day Party on Thursday evening. Last fall, we were talking about how we felt that pumpkins didn't get enough love throughout the year as they are only really brought up in the fall for obvious reasons. We felt that we should have a pumpkin appreciation day in March and so we did. Happy Pumpkin Appreciation Day Pumpkins!!!

And last, but certainly not least, came out of Zumba retirement Thursday night after a LLLOOOOONNNNGGGG break for Upward and various other not-so-important-but-they-seemed-so-at-the-time things. Zumba party people, I'm "back in black" and will be a regular fixture of the class until the fall when Upward starts again.

Now, off to The GA for QT with the family. Buenos weekend!!!
