Five for Friday-Fun times in July

Hey y'all.  Happy Friday!  Linking up with Amanda for Friday Favorites.  She had a big influence on number four in today's post!   It has been a long week of work and fun, and there is bound to be more fun because...

ONE:

Today is Gentleman Caller's Birthday!  We are going to a fancy dinner tomorrow night at Clancy's and I have two awesome gifts for him.  I cannot wait to celebrate and see his reaction to the gifts and to one of my favorite restaurants he has never tried.  And I get to stop being two years older than him until my next birthday!

TWO:

We also celebrated a year of dating on Tuesday.  That certainly flew by! I got some pretty flowers that I am not allergic to and we went to a fun Tales of the Cocktail event at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum to celebrate.  We also got in the newspaper, well the online version! (we are in pic #5.)

There was not enough food to counteract all the cocktails so we went for dinner after.  Much better lighting at Casa Borrega than the article photo!

THREE:

Have you ever heard of Thai rolled ice cream?  We just had one open and I am dying to take some borrowed kids soon so I can blame my ice cream craving on them!  Sounds like it is time to offer one of my sisters' some long overdue overnight babysitting!

FOUR:

I got my Nordstrom Haul!  Here are some of my scores, most of these items are under $50. I don't do affiliate links for clothes (or really anything anymore) so I am just linking in case you like something and want to see if they are sold out. I don't know what happened with these photos upon publishing.

A great look for work, already wore it! Shirt, skirt and pumps. 

Can't wait for fall to wear this! Shirt, jeans (sorry sold out), shoes (got them on Prime Day)

I need a tank for my fave tunic!  Man those Spanx leggings are hard to get on!

Again, I am not sure why these pics turned out larger than I intended! iPhone's are wonky!

FIVE:

Next week I am taking a mental and physical health day to get a much needed massage.  My body has been aching everywhere and my legs are so sore.  I think I am just getting old or maybe I am not drinking enough water.  This excellent skincare post by Lindsay at Bourbon Lipsticks and Stilettos was a good reminder this week to get back on the hydration train!

Well there you have it! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! What are your plans?  How was your week?

Happy Cooking!
