Happy Friday! Who's ready for the weekend? (I have both my hands in the air over here.) I've finally recovered from the big wedding weekend last week and am looking forward to getting my house back in order over the next couple days. While I'm doing that, I hope you will be enjoying my five for this week ~
1. Orange is the New Black
Netflix Original Series Orange is the New Black Season 6 drops today! We will finally be able to see the aftermath of the prison riot. What's going to happen to Piper and Alex? I'm clearing my schedule on Saturday to do some serious binge watching! Can't wait to see what twists and turns they have in store for us.
Eric and I have been grilling quite a bit of fish lately, and these grill mats have made it so much easier. Since they are non-stick, you don't have to worry about spraying the grates or having your food stick. Your fish stays in one nice piece even after you flip it and no food falls through. Eric also uses them in his smoker. It makes clean up a dream because you can just pull out the mats and wash them off. Love these things! Need some? Click HERE to purchase.
3. Mission: Impossible - Fallout
We are so far behind on our movie watching, but I'm adding another one to the list of movies I want to see. Mission: Impossible - Fallout opens today and I'm pumped to see what ole' Ethan Hunt is up to now. Here's the summary from Fandango, "The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm."
Our Aldi's got a face lift months ago and I stepped into it for the first time since the renovations last week. I'm so sad it took me that long to go! The place is fantastic - wide aisles, very clean, nice displays. Yes, I will be going back. One of the things I picked up was a couple bags of Simply Nature popcorn. Oh my goodness -- this stuff is good! I purchased the Herbs & Spices and the Olive Oil and Sea Salt. Both were so yummy! Have you tried it? It's going to be the perfect snack for my binge watching on Saturday.
5. A friend posted this on Facebook and tagged me and my friend Linda. It is so true!
Enjoy the weekend! We will be packing because on Monday we're headed off on vacation for a few days. I need to tie up the loose ends with our house sitter, do laundry, clean, etc., etc., etc. but I don't mind one bit when there's something as fun as vacation at the end of the long list of to do's. Eric and I are also catching a band in Soulard tonight with our friends Debbie and Larry. Fun times ahead!! Pop back in next week to see what we're up to!
