F*ck yeah Friday!

Sometimes I plan on doing a Things I Love Thursday, but then I forget. And F*ck yeah Friday has a much nicer ring to it, yes?

Things that have been making me smile this week: 

• The Butterfly Effect, my favourite band, are doing their final tour before the lead singer departs. Tonight is gig #1 (we're going to 2). Bring.It.On
• Going to the physio FINALLY for me knee. I have lots of IT band and other exercises to do and have to stay off it for a week, but this is progress
• Getting up to date with How I Met Your Mother and Game of Thrones (not running means I have a heap of time!). Joffery...oh dear. 

• Launching a new project at work. It will be awesome.
• Home made baked potatoes with swanky cheese, great vegies, and a bit of salsa. Heaven on a fork. 
• This picture right here. They told me I could be anything.

Have a great weekend! 

Things I Love Thursday

What a week! Hopefully I can actually keep my TILT going this year. What awesome things have been making me smile recently?

• It was my kitty Scamper's 5th birthday yesterday. I didn't realise until today, but that means it's been almost 5 years since that little ball of fluff came into my life and made me deliriously happy. 
• The Do Life Challenge. It's awesome, and I'm loving the forums. So many inspirational and interesting people. 
• The cheeky glass of red I had last night. Yeah, one of my resolutions is not to drink on weeknights, but goddamn it was good! 
• Getting a full 8 hours sleep last night for the first time in forever!
• Finally getting some wedding stuff sorted - photographer, almost celebrant (hopefully), and invitations are so close to being done! YAY!
• Sarah from SillyGrrl answered one of my questions about how she stays so fit and flexible doing aerial. It looks like stretching in front of the TV is a goer if I want to get bendy-flexy again.
• Organising my 30th birthday party for Sunday. It's a kids garden party. There will be fairy bread and party hats. It will be awesome. 

What has been making you smile this week? 

Things I Love Thursday

The good thing about not writing a gratitude list this morning is that everything that I write here is new and exciting! What things are making me smile today?

• The idea of doing a long and epic hike, like this one through the Sierra Nevadas 
• Sunny Thursdays
• My amazing 17km run through the rain on Saturday (yes, it was that awesome)
• Meeting interesting and inspiring people at and through work
• Giving leftover (but still good) food to my local homeless people, and to the Salvos. 
• Puppies. 
• Feeling inspired by blogs 
• Do life

Things I love...Friday?

It may be a little late, but sometimes you have to stop and think about the little things that make you smile. 

Things making me smile this week are: 

• My best friend having an amazingly wonderful wedding! <3
• Impromptu riverside ciders with friends
• Eating well all week (it was only one cider!) and feeling good about it
• Rediscovering The Living End. White Noise is a brilliant album!
• Finally finishing of a task at work that has been lingering
• Starting a new exercise challenge
• Seeing my kitty gorge herself on fish (she can be fussy at times)
• Knowing that I have many opportunities available and am very lucky
• Summer weather
• Bananas being cheap enough to buy again. Oh how I've missed them!
• This: 

Things I Love Thursday

• Scoring a perfectly fitting white deb/wedding dress for a Halloween gig.
• Defacing said dress and dressing up as a corpse bride complete with wounds
• Seeing one of my favourite bands at said gig!
• Having a Halloween party with my wonderful housemates and tarting the house up evil style
• Dressing as Flora, the Goddess of Spring because it's actually Beltaine in Australia on October 31st
• Running 15kms for the first time in a long time
• Deciding on some new fitness and health goals 
• Purring kitties

Because I haven't really spoken to people about whether they are OK with their images in a blog, I'll only show you me, Bear Grylls, and those that can't actually be seen...

Can you pick which movie the cupcake one is from??

I love Halloween!!
