Five Things Friday!

I hope you had a great week Here’s my recap.

1. Something that made me happy this week.

I had been growing my bangs out since the summer. I wanted to try the “long layered” look, and I’d told myself a bunch of crap about how I bangs are for younger women and all that stuff we do to ourselves. But I don’t really like the long layers and I missed my bangs. This week I finally had enough of myself and while I was at the mall doing holiday shopping, I ducked into a salon and got my bangs back! I’m much happier with them.

2. Something I’m reading this week.

I finished The Nix this week. It’s the longest book I’ve read all year! I liked it a lot. Even though I own a copy, I listened to the audio book, narrated by Ari Fliakos. I highly recommend that format if you want to give it a go. He does an incredible job giving the different characters personality and bringing even more humor to the already witty writing.

3. Something I did offline this week.

I met my friend Bethany for a long breakfast date. We hadn’t hung out in a long time.

4. Photo of the week.

We put our Christmas tree up last weekend. The kitten came out of nowhere when my husband started putting on the lights!

5. Something I’m looking forward to next week.

My book club is meeting this weekend to discuss On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong. I always leave our meetings with a full heart, feeling productive and happy.

Tell me a thing or two that made you happy this week!
