Friday Faves

Happy Friday morning everyone! I'm back today with this week's installment of my favorite things from this week. Let's see what makes the list!

1. Art Finds: I have been looking around to find a piece of art to go in my office. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, but when I came across a shop on Etsy that sold pretty watercolors of various dogs, I knew I wanted a dachshund one! Follow the link and check out the different prints!

Every week the artist let's you submit a photo of your pet on Facebook for a contest for him to do a custom art print for you. I submitted a photo of Moxley for David, since I have one of a dachshund. Thought it would be nice for David to have an original piece of art of his dog. So please go vote for Moxley! Hopefully we will win the contest this week. If not, then I may have to pay to have a portrait done of Mox for David. He seems to really like the idea and has started a campaign to get everyone he knows to go vote for Mox. It's pretty adorable to see him get all excited about this contest. Ha! So go vote!

While I was at it, I found a whimsical print for my bedroom to put on my shelf. It's cute and would be perfect one day in a nursery, if I ever have a little girl! This is from The Wheatfield another shop on Etsy. You should go check out her other prints. Very cute!

2. This Picture:

David sent me this photo yesterday. This is Mox waiting for his doggie ice cream that I bought him last weekend at the grocery store. However, with all of David's stuff packed and ready to go for his visit to come see me this weekend, it looks like Mox is going on a trip himself and saying "see ya later, loser!" to David.

3. Adapt and Overcome- With a Grill: Yesterday it was storming after work. On the drive home, I got an intense craving for some chili. Yes, I realize it is normally 90 degrees and not chili weather, but the dreary weather just got me in the mood for some comfort food. So, I got out and braved the pounding rain to run in Publix to get the ingredients to make chili. Then I got home to realize that the electricity was off. Totally my luck! I would not be derailed in my valiant effort for chili. That's where the grill came in. So I took my pot and my chili stuff and headed outside to cook on the grill. Needless to say, I got my chili. So take that Thomasville Utilities! You will not ruin my day with no electricity!

Although I was a little upset that after all that effort, I realized that we were out of cheese. Oh well! It was still yummy!

4. My New Necklace: I finally got around to wearing the necklace I had been stalking at Target that I bought a couple of weeks ago. Love it.

And..I also found a pair of shoes that I forgot I had. They are pink and purple, so I decided to pull those out and wear them too!

And if you are wondering why I am taking random pictures in my office, so am I! But it's only because I just got a new remote control for my camera and had to try it out. Which brings me to my favorite "fave" of the week!

5. Remote for my Nikon! David was my first victim this weekend. I will spare you all the pictures that I forced upon him because I set the camera up and then would randomly press the remote when he would least expect it. I have to admit I enjoyed this power way more than I should. We got pretty silly by the end of it all.

I even made Stacey have an impromptu photo shoot one evening in the kitchen. I asked her to look adoringly in my face. I got her "really?" face instead.

Love it! Anyways, those are some of my favorite things/moments from this week. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. I know I will. I bought a tripod for my camera, so David will have more fun with the remote control feature at our photo shoot this weekend! (insert evil laugh here!) He's super pumped about it.
