My Weekend Shenanigan.

That's not a typo, I didn't have very many shenanigans this weekend, if I'm honest, I only had one major shenanigan, but it made my weekend.

So I was walking home from my lunch with Karen and I hadn't even made it out of the parking lot before I hear someone honking at me, I look back and it's my Grandpa's old pick-up truck. I start walking toward it as this kid below opens the door and shoves me in yelling "GET IN! NOW!" "I'm like all right all right, I'm going!!" My Grandpa's behind the wheel laughing his head off and all I can do is shake my head.  I looked at my brother and said "Y'know, if they didn't know we were family, people would think you were kidnapping me." "GOOD! That's how I wanted it to look" he says to me which my Grandpa responds with "Nobody came out to check and see if you were okay, isn't that sad?" & continued laughing.  Not even sorry, because even when they're kidnapping and embarrassing me, I love my people :)

& literally, the rest of Friday was spent reading and taking a nice nap, Saturday was much of the same before I was back to work Sunday, I have a short work week since I'm heading up north for Moondance Country Jam again!

Hey it's Okay..

I haven't linked up with Amber in far too long, but I absolutely love this link-up, so here we go!

It's okay...

-to commit to read books I already own, but go out and buy four new books #whoops

-to really be looking forward to tomorrow because then inventory will be over for another year at work.

-to spend my bonus on treating myself. I got a hair cut, brows done and I got a pedicure as well.

-to think you forgot your iPad at your aunt's house up north, but find it under a couch cushion because you were on it before falling asleep the night your mom stayed at your place.  Oy.

What I'm For.

"You don't have to guess what I'm against, if you know what I'm for" What I'm For- Pat Green.

This song came up on my Pandora this morning and I thought awesome blog post idea!

I'm for weekends spent Up North hanging out with my aunt, uncle and cousins.

I'm for Monday mornings spent watching a rain delayed race at Pocono.

I'm for hugs and lunch dates with my work momma after a week of not seeing her.

I'm for rainy days and awesome clouds.

I'm for sunny afternoons and flip flops.

I'm for puppy cuddles and crazy excitement when I come home.

What's something you're for?

happy list| three.

It's Thursday, so that means it's time for another happy list!

treating myself| I was going to have lunch with my work momma, but she's out sick again and so I was in a sad mood, worried about her and then I decided to turn my frown upside down and at first it was just going to be a hair trim before my mom picked me up for our road trip up north, but it has turned into a hair trim, an eyebrow waxing, pedicure and a date with me, myself and I to Caribou, I have no regrets whatsoever.

late night taco bell runs| This is pretty self-explanatory. After a hard evening at work I like to make a Taco Bell run with my neighborfriend Trisha.

up north| heading up there again this evening with my momma. Going to see the same cousin who graduated with her AA at the beginning of May get her high school diploma. PSEO is an amazing thing :)

What's something that's made you happy this week?

Top 5 Wednesday| Book Theme Songs

 Faith introduced me to the Top 5 Wednesday group on Goodreads and I knew I had to join in on this fun link-up!

5| The Driven Series, K.Bromberg//Just Give Me A Reason.



Rylee and Colton's relationship was defined throughout this series with many different songs, but whenever I hear this song by P!NK it brings me right back to these books!

4| Taking Chances, Molly McAdams//To Make You Feel my Love & Learning to Live Again.



Both of these Garth Brooks songs can describe the relationship not only between Harper and Chase, but Harper and Brandon as well.

3| The Baxter Series by Karen Kingsbury//The House that Built Me



This song by Miranda Lambert just screams the Baxter family, probably because they put such an emphasis on family and coming home all together.

2| The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks//Hurry Home.



This book completely wrecked me, it was a book hangover ugly cry book that I still have a hard time re-reading because of the father daughter relationship and how much I would hurt if I had to say goodbye to my Dad at my age.  This song is a progression much like the book does of a prodigal daughter coming back home to her Daddy.

1| The Ryan White Story by Ryan White and Ann Cunningham//Don't Laugh at Me



 Ryan White, when he was diagnosed with AIDS as a young teenager was made to feel like he was an outsider.  This song reminds people to look past people's differences and know that we are all made special in God's eyes.

What's one of your favorite books and what song would you pair it with?
