High 5 for Friday!

November 10, 2017

Linking up with Della at Della Devoted, Katie at Cup of Tea, Tif at Bright on a Budget for High Five for Friday!

It’s snowing today…ok, just flurries. But still..there is white stuff falling from the sky and it is cold. IM NOT READY. seriously. not ready. I am not a fan. I don’t like cold weather at all guys…at all.

I was so stressed last night after a long week of work and school and homework that I came home after a late night at work and went directly to the kitchen to bake. I haven’t done that in a long time but it felt so great to zone out for a bit. The result….Salted Caramel Pretzel Choc Chip cookies!

 I cracked 100 on my reading list! I set a goal of 75 on goodreads this year and surpassed it sometime in August or September. It has been a good year for just escaping into books and when I looked after finishing a book on Wednesday I realized I had 101 already! 
 
*I still want chocolate and this guy though.

Last Saturday Thenewguy and I went to do some baby shower shopping, had some dinner at my favorite place (Uncle Julio’s) and then went to a bar with some friends to watch UFC. Its been a while since I watched since the most recent ex wasn’t a fan and my favorite fighter was retired. But he came back and, of course, Thenewguy doesn’t realize I have been a fan for years so I know what is going on and bet against everyone I chose. HA. He now owes me sushi. 

Look at him…goodness.

I started a meetup group a few months ago and it was slow going at first but it is finally gaining new members and moving along and I’ve been meeting some great people! We are doing a weekly meet & greet after work on Wednesdays that people have been very receptive to it! This past week we went to Green Door Tavern, which i love because its old and eclectic. Only a few girls made it but they were super nice and fun and I am excited to see them again! 

I’ve been meaning to make a post about meetup and how I use it…one day I will get to that! 
Whats your five this week?
