The Friday Five.

September 16th, 2011 at 12:01 am . Posted in Uncategorized .

It’s Friday and that means it’s time for another installment of The Friday Five!   If you’re new around here, The Friday Five is a weekly post in which I share 5 things that I have been enjoying that week.  You have the chance to write your own Friday Five post, link up here, and then gain inspiration from everyone else’s posts.

Hopefully you will join in the fun!

1.  What I’m Reading:

Still reading Matched.  It’s taking me a while to read simply because I am so tired by the time I get in bed at night.  I can only read a few pages before falling asleep!

2.  What I’m Listening To:

Coldplay’s new single, “Paradise.”

Excited for this CD!

3.  What I’m Watching:

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve even turned the TV on this week!

I am, however, really looking forward to these movies:

Sorry about the questionable freeze frames. ;)

4. What I’m Eating:

You’re lookin’ at it!  This is pretty much what I’ve packed for lunch and snacks every day for the past 3 weeks.  A big salad for lunch with hummus and balsamic.  An apple, string cheese, Larabar, and mixed berries to be eaten whenever!  Breakfast is typically a toasted english muffin with almond butter and banana slices or greek yogurt with granola.  Dinner is always up in the air.

5.  What I’m Pinning:

I’m trying to think of my favorite thing that I pinned this week.

Hm… tough decision.

I think this is pretty cute.

I like my little iced friend. :D

But… now for the bad news.  (I just typed bed instead of bad.  Obviously I’m tired.)  My poor little brain is so technologically challenged.  I tried for at least an hour and a half last night to get a link list to work and… nothing.  I found a few good programs and plug-ins to use, it’s just that none of them would show up in this post.  So, please give me grace for one more week, and I will *hopefully* have everything working by next Friday so we can have ourselves a little link party.  For now, please leave the links to your Friday Five posts in the comments!  I loved reading them last week! :D

    OK, I came to work early to get a lot done and just spent 20 minutes looking at that pin board. Could you hear me laughing all the way to your undisclosed location?????

    HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

    And I’m sorry, I didn’t participate in the friday five although I had every intention of doing so… but then when I realized that mine was UBER boring I opted to just stick to studying :)

    ie:”Book you’re reading: LANGUAGE FILES LINGUISTIC TEXTBOOK.” “TV: haven’t been able to catch up in weeks… but does the carolina dialects video i watched for class count???”

    I’m LAME-O this week. ;)

    Happy Friday

    I am so glad I stumbled upon this today! I found your blog through Laura over at Laura Likes Design and I thought it was a wonderful idea that I had to try.

    I hadn’t heard that Coldplay song yet, but I am a fan. Definitely excited for their new album to drop!

    I like your friday five! I have not been reading lately, so nothing there, and I havent been listening to much music either, unless you count “the wheels on the bus go round and round” Lots of kid music around here.

    I link up to What I Ate Wednesday with Jenn over at Peas and Crayons. She may be able to help you with your link. She’s super friendly and helpful.

    Have a great weekend. :-)

    Well you successfully made me very excited for all of those movies! I am just not reading, a.k.a. listening via audiobook, to the Hunger Games and I don’t think the movie is going to disappoint!
