It’s Friday! I’m so excited, I have a fun surprise date night planned for Josh. Then this weekend we have an anniversary party to go to, are checking out Junk Stock, and are going to see Jersey Boys. It’s going to be a fun weekend in Omaha!
Here’s five things I’m loving this week:
1. I am obsessed with Colbie Callait’s new song Try. It is such a great song with a powerful message.
2. My work meeting was at the Ameristar Casino and Hotel in Kansas City. I had my first all you can eat buffet experience there and loved it. They had like six different types of mashed potatoes! It was pretty great. 😀
3. I just got new business cards for my blog. I’m going to FitBloggin’ next weekend in Savannah, Georgia and can’t wait. It’s my first blogging conference. I’m excited to meet lots of people and make new blogging friends.
This is me. I feel like half the conversations I start begin with the word sorry. It’s crazy.
This is such a great example of the effect ‘harmless’ words can have on a person.
4. These are two commercials that I’m loving lately. Not to get on a soapbox, but the media has such a huge impact on society and I love when I see that influence being used for positive social change. (Proud feminist over here!)
5. Josh and I went to happy hour at Blue last night for veggie lettuce wraps. These things are the bomb dot com. And during happy hour they’re only $7! I already can’t wait to go back.
Question of the Day: What are you up to this weekend?
Debbie @ Live from La Quinta says
I love your business cards! Who made them? Always looking for a great card! I can’t wait to see the Jersey Boys! Of course, they’re more my era than yours 🙂 (they are actually a little before my time too!)
Erin says
I ordered my cards from Oubly. I love them. They have a designer there that helped me format the look and add my graphics. They’re also super thick with a colored edge. http://www.oubly.com/premium-business-cards
Melanie @ Nutritious Eats says
Hope you’re hubby doesn’t check your blog before the surprise 🙂 but if he’s like mine, he won’t. lol. Those lettuce wraps look so good! Happy Friday!
Erin says
He does and knows we have a date night. He also knows what he has to wear. (Swim trunks and a water wicking t-shirt.) He just doesn’t know what the heck we’re doing. ;p Our calendar says date night and has a big question mark. 😀
ANgela @ Happy Fit Mama says
Have fun on your secret date night! And I too loved the Pantene commercial. I say “sorry” way too much.
Erin says
Thank you! Our secret date night was a lot of fun. Isn’t it crazy? How are we raising all these girls to start conversations with apologies?
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog says
I’m OBSESSED with Blue’s lettuce wraps! I love that peanut sauce!
Erin says
They’re SO good!
Marcia says
Cute business cards! Have a blast at the conference. I’ve yet to attend one. Shakes head. I’ve been single parenting all week so looking forward to having the Caveman back!

I’m so excited too! And a little nervous. ;p Have you been to FitBloggin before?
jennifer says
I would love to have those lettuce wraps for lunch today, too bad I’m no where near Omaha!
Erin says
Come and visit! We can get lettuce wraps together! 😀
Rebecca Jo says
I need to go to that place with the lettuce wraps – it all looks so delish!!!!
I love that commercial with the young girl. How discouraging people can be without realizing it.
Erin says
Omg the lettuce wraps are incredible! Yeah, gender studies has always fascinated me. That commercial really demonstrated the little things people can do that have a big influence in a person’s life.
Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says
I LOVE that Colbie Caillat song!!! Hope you and Josh have an awesome date night!!! Happy Weekend!!!
Erin says
Thanks Mindy! We had an awesome date night. And isn’t that Colbie Callait song beautiful? She has such an incredible voice.

Wow , I haven’t been on your blog in a while it seems, but I love your new design, it’s so creative and gorgeous! Nicely done, girlie. And that pic of the Ameristar Casino and Hotel is gorgeous, the sky is incredible. I know that’s not the point of the photo (glad you had an awesome experience too!) but hey! 😉
