Five on Friday - July 14, 2017

Happy Bastille Day! This week flew by for me and here we are at Friday already.  Today is a special day at our house.  Eric and I were married 16 years ago today!  Happy anniversary Eric.  Love you!  Thanks for helping me with all my shenanigans!


Before we start our anniversary weekend, here are my five for this week ~

1.  Smirnoff Ice Orange Screwdriver
We were at our neighbor's house last weekend and I tried one of these Smirnoff Ice Orange Screwdrivers malt beverages.  Loved it!  It's going to be my new drink of the summer.  The fresh citrus flavor really hit the spot.  Have you tried them?  Smirnoff makes other flavors also if orange isn't your thing.


2.  The Big Sick Movie
This movie was kind of a sleeper to me in that I hadn't seen a lot of previews before this week.  It looks hilarious!  It opens today and is definitely on my list of movies I want to see.  Here's the Rotten Tomato summary, "Based on the real-life courtship between Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, THE BIG SICK tells the story of Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail (Nanjiani), who connects with grad student Emily (Kazan) after one of his standup sets. However, what they thought would be just a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When Emily is beset with a mystery illness, it forces Kumail to navigate the medical crisis with her parents, Beth and Terry (Holly Hunter and Ray Romano) who he's never met, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart. THE BIG SICK is directed by Michael Showalter (HELLO MY NAME IS DORIS) and producer by Judd Apatow (TRAINWRECK, THIS IS 40) and Barry Mendel (TRAINWRECK, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS)."


3.  Fridge Monkey
We got a new gadget for the fridge this week and it left us wondering why we hadn't bought it years ago.  With summer here we seem to have so many more bottles and cans rolling around in our refrigerator.  This baby allows you to stack soft drink cans, beer bottles or wine bottles neatly so they are not rolling around all over your shelves.  It really maximizes your storage allowing you to maximize your space.  If you need one (or two), click HERE.


4.  SD Card Reader
One of these slick devices came with my camera bundle (which I'm loving!) and it is amazing!  The rest of the world might already know about these, but it was my first exposure.  You can just pop out the memory card from your camera, put it in this device, plug it into your computer and VOILA - your pictures can be downloaded.  No more hooking up the wires from your camera to the computer.  It makes downloading your photos so much easier.  This one happens to be on sale from Amazon for only $7.99.  Click HERE to check it out.


5.  Makes you wonder...
I see the single shoe on the side of the road all the time, and I can't help but wonder how this keeps happening. It's a real issue, apparently.

Hope your weekend is wonderful.  We are trying a new restaurant tonight and headed to the Muny tomorrow night.  Should be a fun few days!  See you next week.
