Friday Favorites: Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Feliz Viernes, Amigos! 

Happy Friday, Friends! That's about the extent of my Spanish speaking skills. And I had to google that! I never took Spanish in high school. Did you? Alise has been filling out her schedule for her freshman year of high school and asked me if she should take Spanish or French. I had French in elementary school and how I ever made it out of high school at the top of my class without a foreign language, I cannot tell you. Have I ever needed it? Of course not. But whatevah. I personally would like for her to take French, but I'm leaving the decision totally up to her.

Having said all that, and in case you didn't know it - Sunday is Cinco de Mayo! It's time to get your Mexican grub on! So today, I'm taking a day off from work to meet a friend for lunch and then run all over town trying to gather things for our Cinco de Mayo party on Sunday. I'm specifically looking for a pinata! Not to hit at with a stick, but for a centerpiece. The cake above is my color scheme inspo and I'm making Sopapilla Cheesecake for the first time. LOTS to do today, so here's my Friday Favorites! 

Wednesday was awards day at school and I can't tell you how stinking proud I am of Alise! She received the highest average in math award for the second year in a row! I love my little math nerd! Alise also received an award in art and a trophy for all A's all year. Unfortunately, I had to miss the awards and the scholar's banquet due to work, so Daddy got award day duty. After lunch, the two of them went to see the new Marvel movie so I think they had quite a day together.

Last night we attended the Spring Sports Banquet and Alise was recognized for having the most assists this basketball season. Wayne was beaming and I know my late father-in-law was smiling down from heaven.

I mentioned on IG stories about these shoes that I recently purchased from Amazon. I am in love, y'all! They are so comfortable! As far as sizing goes, it's a mixed bag, as some of  you are discovering. Mine were a half size too big. Some of you have let me know that  your's were too small, and then some of you were lucky enough to snag the perfect fit! I hate returning things, but I promise once you find your correct size, it will be worth it! I just ordered another pair in black! 

I'm spilling the beans early because my summer reading list comes out on Monday, but I just finished reading my favorite book of 2019! If you do ANYTHING this summer, read Daisy Jones & The Six! ESPECIALLY if you loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I have finally declared Taylor Jenkins Reid as one of my favorite authors. Both of these books were five star reads for me and if you loved 70's rock bands like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Abba, and the list goes on...this book is a must. I had no idea where it would eventually land in the end, but let's just say that yes, I cried. But it was an awesome cry! I've heard this book is really good in the audio version, but our library didn't have it. 

I have officially fallen of the water wagon and instead of jumping head first back in love with Diet Coke, I've added cherry and vanilla to the mix. A cherry vanilla Diet Coke is just too good to pass up these days and I've decided that I'm going to enjoy them through May and jump back on the H20 wagon in June.  Sounds like a great plan to me. 

Ten un feliz fin de semana, Amigos! 

That's Spanish for Have a Happy Weekend, Friends!
