Five on Friday - January 21, 2022

It's Friday!  We've been busy this week, so I'm really looking forward to having a little downtime.  Before I get too relaxed, let me share my five for today ~

1.  Ozark

Season 4 is here!  We can't wait to see how they get all the blood out of their hair.  This final season will be divided into two parts, with each part consisting of 7 episodes.  Sad news is we don't know when Part 2 is coming.  Until then, I plan on enjoying Part 1.  As a matter of fact, as soon as we are home from work this will be on our television.

2.  Ice Roller

Last Saturday, I celebrated Christmas with three of my girlfriends.  One of my friends gave us these ice rollers.  It's amazing!  This little baby has been by my bedside and every night this week I've been rolling it all over my face.  It claims to prevent wrinkles and relieve eye fatigue.  Whatever it does is just a bonus to the way it feels.  Give this thing a try and you'll see what I'm talking about.

3.  Enough Already:  Learning to Love the Way I am Today

Valerie Bertinelli's new book came out this week and I'm anxious to read what she has to say.  Here's the summary from Amazon ~

Beloved actress, Food Network personality, and New York Times bestselling author Valerie Bertinelli reflects on life at sixty and beyond.

Behind the curtain of her happy on-screen persona, Valerie Bertinelli’s life has been no easy ride, especially when it comes to her own self-image and self-worth. She waged a war against herself for years, learning to equate her value to her appearance as a child star on One Day at a Time and punishing herself in order to fit into the unachievable Hollywood mold. She struggled to make her marriage to Eddie Van Halen — the true love of her life — work, despite all the rifts the rock-star lifestyle created between them. She then watched her son follow in his father’s footsteps, right up onto the stage of Van Halen concerts, and begin his own music career. And like so many women, she cared for her parents as their health declined and saw the roles of parent and child reverse. Through mourning the loss of her parents, discovering more about her family’s past, and realizing how short life really is when she and her son lost Eddie, Valerie finally said, “Enough already!” to a lifelong battle with the scale and found a new path forward to joy and connection. Despite hardships and the pressures of the media industry to be something she’s not, Valerie is, at last, accepting herself: she knows who she is, has discovered her self-worth, and has learned how to prioritize her health and happiness over her weight. With an intimate look into her insecurities, heartbreaks, losses, triumphs, and revelations, Enough Already is the story of Valerie’s sometimes humorous, sometimes raw, but always honest journey to love herself and find joy in the everyday, in family, and in the food and memories we share.

4.  Herr's Fire Roasted Sweet Corn Potato Chips

We were given a bag of these chips and, let me tell you, they are DELICIOUS!  I asked my friend who gave us a bag where she got them and you will never guess what she said.  Menards!  Eric made a trip there this week to restock.  Menards also had fire-roasted sweet corn flavored popcorn.  We'll try that as soon as we've polished off all the bags of chips we bought.  

5.  My wardrobe...

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  I'm flying to Florida on Sunday for a business trip, so I'm going to try to squeeze in all the relaxation and fun I can into tonight and tomorrow.  I can't even express how excited I am to escape our frigid temperatures and arrive in the sunny, warm climate I'm going to!  See you soon!
