Five on Friday

1 - Ryan Christopher Art is still at the Paseo Art Space gallery in Oklahoma City. 

2 - I ate Arctic Zero ice cream and it was awesome. Sorry for the repeat. 

3 - I ate and drank too muc last night at Red Earth Brewers. Hence, I didn't lose any weight. 

4 - On the plus side, I didn't gain any weight. #winning

5 - I'm going to a party tonight. Lord help me find my self control with the food! Seriously, where does it go when there's giant plates to snack on all night? Thank You and Amen Lord! 

Thankful Thursday

I've got a lot to be thankful for. 

1-Thursday is double special today because I have the pack pint run and the Red Earth Brewers club meeting. 

2-Chomps is a sweety. 

3-the weather this weekend will be perfect for brewing beer! Woot woot!

4-I gained one pound on the trip, which is basically the same as maintaining weight. Awesome possum!

5-I'm still having fun with the photo option in the you version app. 

Get the word in you daily! Tomorrow's post should be about the club meeting. I'll try to take lots of pics. Photos make the best blogposts. 

High Five For Friday!

Dear friends,

Pat yourself on the back, you made it to Friday! 

 

Friday. While its still a weekday, it is oh so special to me. It means the beginning of the weekend and any work seems less like work on Fridays. No other day feels quite like a Friday. Friday is fresh and exciting. Full of promise. 

 

I tend to start conversations at work, "do you have any fun weekend plans?" I hate it when people say no. It's fun to talk about fun plans. So what about you? My plan this weekend is to join the local gym, get my hair cut and colored, and play a show at Bill's Island Grill in south Oklahoma City. 

Do tell me your plans. I love it!

 

High Five For Friday-Beautiful Edition

Dear friends, Alicia from Brew Mama is currently hosting a linkup encouraging everyone to be positive about themselves. I found others posts to be inspiring and it reminded me to be more positive towards myself. Three beautiful things about me (2 outer and 1 inner beauty) 1-I love my feet. Walk into any shoe store in the country and look at the shoes on display, its my size. I wear a size 6 shoes or 4 in kids sizes. Its always on display because smaller shoes look cuter than huge shoes. I may have a shoe fetish but I blame that on working at a shoe store for three years. 2-I love my smile. Most any moment of the day, there is a big grin plastered on my face. I can't help it. I am always smiling.  3-Inner strength. I love my strength. I never knew how strong I can be until I had to go through some rough waters. I tried to go through those tough patches alone and I discovered how impossible that is. Once I sought help, others were able to open my eyes to my inner strength. Now I am currently working on my outer strength and I am slowly seeing the fruits of that labor. This was a difficult task to participate in, primarily because my thoughts gravitated to the things that I don't like. Why is it hard to be loving to ourselves? I am sure there is no good answer.

Last night I enjoyed an evening of painting and sipping wine with my friend. So fun and we left with masterpieces! Please go to my intagram @esthernorine to find the fun photos. On a separate, weight loss note, I had a cupcake at work but managed to stay away from seconds there. Then at Kamps 1910 Cafe, I had another cupcake but I only ate half of it. Granted it was large but I felt ok eating half and sharing the other half with my friend. I think that my habits are improving and any sign of progress is a good sign to me. The restaurant was a nice self-serve sort of place. That can be a hassle when trying to order wine and missing instructions on painting but I prefer to get my own dishes, water, and clean up after myself. 

Please stay tuned for another post on the weekend. Perhaps, I will do a Silly Saturday post.

High five for Friday

Hello cool people!
Friday is my ultimate favorite day of the week. The promise of a good weekend is fresh and invigorating. Our weekend plans tend to low key and relaxing. The break from work is welcome. The feeling of accomplishment is a great ego boost when I scratch something off the to do list.

I have no plans but what about you? I love talking about the weekend.

High Five For Friday

Congratulations! We made it to another Friday! It is also Good Friday, a very joyous day.

The one thing that I am looking forward to is getting a manicure and pedicure tomorrow with a friend. This is truly a treat since I rarely pay to get my nails done. What color should I get? Should my toes and fingers match?

There is not much to say about this week since it hasn't been that awesome. My focus has been on healing and cleansing. I am making progress on both but I find myself struggling from time to time. I can't wait for the finished product but as always I need to walk through the entire process.

How has your week been? I am looking for guest posts for Make A Difference Monday and Weight Loss Wednesday. Please let me know if you'd like to share.

Please stay tuned for Silly Saturday, where my cats take over the blog. It should be entertaining!

High Five For Friday

1) Happy Friday friends! There's so much promise in a Friday. Good times.
2) Biggest Loser had a sweet finale.
3) I had no cream cheese and no second bagel on Wednesday. Yay for non-scale victories!
4) We went to the Eric Clapton concert Wednesday and had a great time. He puts on a great show and in true performer fashion, took three bows at the end of the encore. A dedicated and talented entertainer.
5) I went to Pho Lien Hoa with a friend for dinner. I accidentally ordered an authentic bowl full of unrecognizable beef parts. Interesting. I tried some of it but mostly stuck to the yummy noodles. The big con for me was they do not take credit cards but did have a machine next to the register. It's a top rated pho shop on yelp and urban spoon but I won't be back because of the credit card issue.

Please stay tuned for silly Saturday and serious Sunday! Have a beautiful weekend!

High five for Friday!

I am preparing for a wedding that is tonight and I just took a swig of a 21 year old whiskey. The festivities are heating up, in the cold state of Alaska. Tomorrow, in honor of tornado season, I have a silly post for you. Happy Friday to everyone!

High Five For Friday!

Welcome to High Five For Friday, the beginning of the weekend. I don't usually count Friday as a typical work weekday since I'm ready to party down once I leave work. I hope you join me. Please follow me on twitter at @esthernorine for some tweeting fun. I usually fill everyone's stream with retweets of all kinds. There is no limit to what I'm retweeting and there's no rules.

Top Three  1-I'm super excited to be blogging on my new computer (the geologists doesn't like to share sadly.) 2-I'm having breakfast tomorrow with a friend at a crazy vegetarian cafe. It will be fun to catch up and eat yummy food. 3-I love hanging out with my geologist. We have tons of fun together.

Alrighty, its your turn to share your top three! I love reading your comments. Linking up with top blogger Lauren at From My Grey Desk Please stay tuned for Silly Saturday!

High Five for Friday!

Dear new friends and old friends,
We made it to Friday! Woohoo! I've been in training and traveling all week which has been fun but made decisions tough. Eating healthy, not super great. Blogging has been hard too. Tonight, I'm relaxing and chillin with my new coworkers. It should be great! Fortunately/unfortunately, life doesn't return to normal until next Friday night. I'll be working hard at learning and fun. Ha! What's your top five for the week?
