Five on Friday - August 31, 2018

Happy holiday weekend!  Hope you have a memorable and safe few days.  Before we head out, here's my five for this week ~

1.  Labor Day Weekend
How did we get to Labor Day weekend so fast?!?  This summer has absolutely flown by and I'm not quite ready to embrace fall just yet.  And we know autumn is almost here because Starbuck's has starting selling their pumpkin spice lattes, right.

Labor Day First Monday in September

2.  Searching
We've seen the previews for this thriller, and I'm intrigued.  So I'm adding it to the ever growing list of movies I want to see.  Here's the synopsis from Fandango:
David Kim becomes desperate when his 16-year-old daughter Margot disappears and an immediate police investigation leads nowhere. He soon decides to search the one place that no one else has -- Margot's laptop. Hoping to trace her digital footprints, David contacts her friends and looks at photos and videos for any possible clues to her whereabouts.

3.  Real Simple Magazine
It's no secret that I'm a huge magazine-aholic.  For years, one of my favorites has been Real Simple.  Have you ever read it?  I practically embrace it when I pull it out of the mailbox.  Real Simple is for anyone who is looking for ways to simplify both their work and home life.  Who doesn't need a little help with that?!?  Click HERE if you're interested in a subscription.

4.  HP Sprocket 
Have you guys seen these little mini printers?  I just ran across them and I'm so fascinated with it!  This little guy is a portable printer and connects via Bluetooth.  Amazon describes it brilliantly, so I'm sharing how they describe it:

Okay guys - I'm out.  We are heading to Italy tomorrow morning and I'm not sure how often I'll be posting next week.  You can bet when I get back though I'll be sharing all the details from our trip.  I think we're about ready -- I've got the house sitter lined up, called the credit cards, talking to our cell phone service and have a several tours booked.  This is going to be epic!!  If I get done packing at a decent hour tonight, I might try to watch a couple episodes of the new season of Ozark that dropped today on Netflix.  Check back soon to hear all about our trip!

  7. Oh Penny, do have a wonderful trip! I can’t wait to see pictures when you return.

    You’re quite right, where the heck did summer go? I know time flies but my goodness, this summer just whirred right on by and now, here we are and it’s september.

    Love the motivational speaking meme, that’s hilarious. Lol! I’ll have to tell my husband that one.

    Do you remember all the mini printers that were the rage years ago? Same deal, same price point, same everything, only now they’re Bluetooth. I like the idea of them but I print and take too many photos. LOL

    Safe travels my friend! co
