I mean… 5 for Friday.
Someone is ready for the weekend!
Here are five things that make me happy this week:
1. Special Delivery From Italy
The wine I had shipped back from my trip arrived today! It was all I could do not to stay home and sample them all.
2. Oatmeal on Chilly Mornings
The weather here has been so weird, but I think the crisp air is here to stay this time.
In my bowl:
- Oats
- Almond milk
- Cinnamon
- Cottage cheese
- Peanut Flour
- Blueberries
3. Holiday Baking
Sparkling Cake Balls were the winners this week. Next week, a post on what was in that mystery picture I posted Monday.
Annnnd…. another balla cake ball flavor coming soon…
4. Blogger Meet Ups
Left to right: Alayna, Me, Kristy, Stacy, Brooke, Carol, Traci, Lee, Tina, Heather, and Heather (and Tracy, not pictured)
ATL blogger get togethers are the best… Imma be tired in the morning though! Special thanks to Tuk Tuk for hosting and Kristy for getting us the hook up.
The food was good, the service was above and beyond!
…and thanks to the guys at the bar who bought us all shots. 🙂
5. Lunchtime Core Class, Followed by Body Pump
Killa way to jump start the afternoon. I work SO much more efficiently if I can workout midday.

I’m going to Atlanta’s largest museum for a jazz and cocktail event tonight. Which is exciting, but making this day ever so long.
What has made you happy this week?
Do you work better if you can take a little mid-afternoon break?
Yep, seeing that wine on my doorstep would make me smile, too! You’re lucky to live near so many bloggers. Have a great weekend! 🙂
I am lucky – they are some great ladies. You should come see us! 🙂
I had oatmeal this morning as well – even the Tampa area is getting chilly weather. 🙂
Cheers to the weekend!!!
Last night was lots of fun! I sometimes went to the gym on my lunch break. It did break up the afternoon nicely.
Number two all the way 🙂
There’s a joke in there somewhere… 😉
LOL 😉
It’s like an early Christmas! Woo hoo, those wine bottles would have totally prompted me to call in sick 🙂 You’re a better woman than me!
I’m going to have to try cottage cheese in my oats… sounds like it would be really good!!
I love the blogger meetups!!
I have to see if any happen near me…. looks like so much fun =)
It is! I love the saltiness it adds.
I had fun last night! And you were the reason for our free shots.
LOL! I think it was a group effort. 🙂
Happy Friday Laura.
Your meet up looks awesome, I wish some bloggers lived near me (Greensboro, NC if anyone is reading this) and I could meet up with them. So sad to be all alone…I might need some of that wine to get my through the sorrow.
Enjoy all of your activities and I hope you will share the jazz and cocktail event with us.
Haha! I would gladly share the wine-love. 🙂
Ugh… I’m soooo ready for 5:00. If only the “it’s 5:00 somewhere” actually worked.
Looks like a great meetup. 🙂 I’m excited about date night tonight.
I love mid-afternoon breaks! I’ll either do a workout class or take my dog on a (much needed) hike.
Also, super jealous of your shots and wine. It’s been a long week and I need a drink!
Good to see you again last night! These meet-ups are getting better and better.
They really are! I love how big the group has gotten.
Last night was so fun!! So glad we got to see everyone! Tuk Tuk was awesome. Lets go back tonight haha!
It was great to meet you last night – thanks for sharing your awesome restaurant photo tip! Those balls really do look delicious. 😉
What made me happy is being home….finally! And my bestie arriving today! Hooray!

I wish I lived closer to bloggers so I could experience a blogger meet-up – they always look so fun!
I need to start Christmas baking soon.
I’m back on porridge now too! 🙂 Something that made me happy… my new boots and skirt arrived through the post, finally! Whoop! Now I just need some semblance of a social life so that I can wear them! Ha! I’m trying to persuade Luke that the serious lack of fun things to do in Cyprus in the winter warrants a christmas trip to NYC… wish me luck! 😉
A Christmas trip to NYC would be amazing! Best of luck with that argument. 🙂
I admire your work-out ethic. I can only work-out in the morning. I don’t know why but my energy levels seem to slide in the afternoon so by the evening it’s an effort for me to get off the couch.
Evenings can be difficult, but once you get out the door the hardest part is over!
It was so nice to meet you on Thursday! Hope you’re having a great weekend, and hopefully will run into you at the next blogger meet up!
You too! Can’t wait for the next one. 🙂
where is my special delivery of wine???? 🙁
