Black Friday

Happy Friday!  I assure you no one died and I didn't flash forward to the day after Thanksgiving or anything.    Sometimes I struggle with what to wear on Fridays.  I love that I can wear jeans, but I struggle with coming up with outfits that aren't boring and still are nice enough for work.  So even though I'm on a color kick right now, I decided to go with this basic black shirt I bought last summer.  I thought I'd end up not being terribly excited by the results, but looking at these pictures, I actually really do like this.  I'm sure the accessories help a ton.  I also think that it's ok to go basic black every now and again too.  

 

Man I was tireddddd this morning when I was taking my pictures.  My boss thought it would be funny yesterday to switch our regular coffee to decaf without informing me of such first.  And I didn't realize it would be that huge of a deal until about halfway through the day, I could barely keep my eyes open.  I have this delicate balance when it comes to caffeine too - I pretty much want one cup of coffee in the morning.  I will occasionally freshen up that one cup so it ends up being more like 1 1/2 but really that is all I need.  And I have to pretty much stop drinking caffeine after noon if I have any hope of falling asleep at a decent time.  So, when I was falling asleep yesterday afternoon, I powered through without the caffeine.  By the time I woke up this morning I was super groggy and had that lovely withdrawal headache.  I stopped at my favorite coffee shop this morning and it was instant relief.  I'm a human again!


Gearing up for a somewhat busy weekend.  I have a happy hour after work today, then rehearsal with my music group.  Tomorrow we have another golf lesson and a church gig with our music group and then hopefully Mr. Monkey and I can grab some dinner out somewhere.  Sunday we are attempting to spend time with both of our mom's - doing breakfast with mine and a afternoon barbecue with his family.  So it'll be a little packed, but family is important and celebrating our mommas are important too!


Do you all have exciting weekend plans?  Happy Friday and Happy weekend everyone!
