Friday Favorites {7.6.12}

Is it really already Friday? With the 4th of July jammed right in the middle of the week, and Dan having Tues, Wed and part of yesterday off work, it doesn't feel like a Friday. Not that I'm complaining or anything, cuz that'd just be rude. Lol. But yeah, it definitely doesn't seem like it's time for the weekend. Since it is, though, I'm pretty excited cuz that means we can get out and do stuff!

I have to admit, this whole not being able to drive thing is really starting to get to me. The kids and I have all got a bad case of cabin fever. Which is rather unfortunate, because since Dan works all week (well, usually), by the time the weekend rolls around, he just wants to relax. I can't say I blame him, but that doesn't stop me from having a laundry list of places I want him to take us the minute he walks through the door on Friday. This doesn't annoy him at all or anything (enter sarcasm here). At this point, I'm sure he's just as ready for me to be walking again as I am.

Thankfully, I did get a boot on Tuesday. No, I'm not allowed to bear weight on it, BUT, I am one step closer to being through with all of this. The doc's instructed me to remain non-weight bearing for a month, but after that? I'll begin physical therapy, and then hopefully walking again. So, right now we're just playing the waiting game. Not my favorite thing to do, considering I'm probably the most impatient person ever.

Anyway, this weekend will be spent running errands, mostly. After swimming in our friend's pool the other day, Nico's been begging me for one of our own, so I think we'll have to make a trip to Target for that (darn!). Plus, as I mentioned here, the majority of our food spoiled during the power outage last weekend, so we'll need to go grocery shopping. This typically requires a trip to Costco, the Commissary and/or Trader Joe's. Fun times, I tell ya. Other than that, I'm hoping we can do something indoors, since it's so flippin' hot out. I know Dan wants to go to The Smithsonian, so maybe that? Or, perhaps, we'll visit the distillery & gristmill down the road? Though I'm not sure that's completely indoors. I guess we'll see. Definitely wanna do something fun, though. I hate to waste the weekend just on errands, you know?

Have a great weekend, everyone!

P.S. I'll have a rad giveaway up next week, so be on the lookout for that!

  5. please check out this article I wrote about this new great app that makes it easier to go to bed.


    Sleep Bug, the Sleeping App that Rocks everyone including Babies to Sleep

    There are a lot of apps out there that claim to wake you up in the morning, and there are some apps out there that claim to help you go to bed at night. Sleep Bug is the only app out there that is available on four different platforms (iPhone, iPad, iPod, and windows phone 7 smartphones) that not only claim to help you fall asleep but ensures you will in a peaceful manner. This app is for grownups, teenagers, kids and most important of all, babies. 
    If you an adult, chances are that you have a job that starts early in the morning. As a result, getting enough rest the night before is essential to prevent you from taking short naps at work, which could result in an overall decrease in your work output. Having this app will help you go to bed in a peaceful manner, and will have you up and refreshed the next morning. If you are a parent, you can recommend Sleep Bug to your children or love ones. 
    We all love babies, and having one brings about the greatest feeling in the world, but their non stop crying can be a little irritating and can also make it harder to go to bed. Fortunately, Sleep Bug can also be used for babies. Mom and Dad can share a phone which has Sleep Bug installed, and their baby can use the other phone which also has Sleep Bug installed. Sleep Bug has a variety of sound options; each having its own list of variation. This creates an opening for trial and error to see which sound combination works best for the baby. If you want to peacefully go to sleep every night and wake up refreshed every single morning, then Sleep Bug is the App to have. You can learn more about the app and also download it from their official website- http://www.sleepbug.net.
