This week at work I have been presented with one problem after another!  On and on and on!  But there isn’t a workweek problem that can’t be resolved by

FRIDAY!

I know my teammates agree with me!

Each week, amid the daily grind, there is always something fun that brings a smile.

I’ve picked five of these fun things to be my Friday Favorites:

Favorite # ONE

 Shopping on Amazon

This was a case of Amazon taunting me with their “frequently bought together” suggestions.  I’m a sucker.

These are Barbie Fashionistas dolls– each has her own look, personality and style — each one unique .

And because we will be having a Barbie pool party this summer, I picked up a package of swimsuits made just for 11.5 inch dolls.

Lydia is going to love this!

Glammy will too!

Favorite # TWO

Baking Cakes

Last night it was a Mississippi Mud Cake

And last week it was a Butter Pound Cake

Last month it was a Cream of Coconut Cake

 

I don’t remember what I baked prior to that, but I’m sure it was good!

The Great Outdoors

Now that I am working from home, I have more free time to be in the yard when my daily shift ends.  Recently LB and I discovered a culprit who made a meal of my amaryllis that little fella took a flight [courtesy of LB].

 

This made me realize I needed to spend more time tending to things outdoors.

In the past two months I have re-potted every plant on my patio.  In addition, I have:

replaced a drowned tree in the front yard. Twice.

I’ve planted an herb garden (Basil~Parsley~Cilantro).We’ve installed landscape lighting.I have planted a mandevilla near my front doorand another on the east side of my house (for Mama’s viewing pleasure… someday).And luckily LB has these boots that he will sometimes let me borrow

because when it rains, the yard looks like this:Water will sit for days.

Luckily LB has ideas for managing this.

Currently he is working on a project to hurry the standing water along.

LB’s project is my

Favorite # FOUR

The project is ongoing, but so far has been a success!

LB and I have both thoroughly enjoyed working outdoors!

I’ve always felt that there was something therapeutic about gardening and working on projects outside.  This week I came across an article that proved me right:

“Did you know that there’s a natural antidepressant in soil? It’s true” (source).

Favorite # FIVE
