Five on Friday - September 11, 2015

Oh Friday - I'm so glad you're here!  This has been a short work week for me, but I'm still ecstatic that Friday has arrived.  I've been out of town the last two weekends and I'm looking forward to doing a big bunch of nothing for a couple of days.  Don't get me wrong, I have a to-do list that fills a page of thin-lined paper listing things that need to get accomplished around the house.  We'll just see how much actually gets done.

Before I head off to tackle that list, here's my five for you to check out.

1.  9/11 Tribute

This is one of those days where most of us will always remember exactly where we were that Tuesday morning when news broke of a plane crashing into the side of the World Trade Center.  What followed was heart-wrenching.  Budweiser played this commercial, which aired only once so they wouldn't benefit financially from it, at the beginning of the Super Bowl.  I thought it would be fitting to share it today.

2.  Teavana Pumpkin Spice Brulee
Last weekend when Debbie and I were in the Dallas airport, our gate was right next to a Teavana store.  Luckily for us, we had just enough time to sample the teas they had on display before boarding.  The Pumpkin Spice Brulee was magnificent!  With Fall right around the corner, I need this in my life.  Here's the tasting notes from Teavana: "Richly sweet + creamy white + dark chocolate meets sweet pumpkin and toffee flavors, an undertone of sweet spice + mocha."  See why I thought it was so good.



3.  Toms' Ankle Booties
Just look at these beauties!!  How cute would these be with a fun fall outfit?!?  I'm in love.  The little tassel in the back just adds to my love.  Wonder if I can wait for my birthday in November or do I need them now?  That's a tough question.  Thoughts?

4.  Mr. McDreamy
Looks like Patrick Dempsey has landed a job after the tear-jerking exit from Grey's Anatomy.  He'll be working with Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth on the Bridget Jones's Baby movie.  Man, I sure am going to miss seeing him weekly.  If you're a Grey's fan, get ready -- Season 12 will be starting in just two more weeks.  September 24 to be exact.

5.  Forgiveness

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!  We are expecting lower temperatures in the St. Louis region and I have this vision of being able to sleep with the windows open and snuggle under some blankets.  I'll be back on Monday to let you know how that works out.
