But First...
lemme take a self-.. get a Birthday Cake Frappuchino
um..yeah ladies and gents, you read that right! according to this article and about 25 others that I read, for five days only, Starbucks is making birthday cake fraps in honor of the anniversary of the :! yaaassss! and, double yaasssss because, calories don't count on weekends...right???
anyways, back to the regularly scheduled weekly recap, I am linking up with:
Karli for Oh Hey Friday!
All of the girls for 5 on Friday
All of the girls for High Five Friday
Jennie for Friday Favorites
Rebecca for That Friday Blog Hop
Leslie for Confessional Friday
Amanda for Friday Favorites
Desiree for TGIF Blog Hop
**most of this post is food related so...hopefully you have a full belly!**
2. Networking is a beautiful thing. Through giveaway entries and bloghops, I found Jasmine's blog Classy, Sassy& a bit Smartassy-which I love reading! She and Jessica from Wifesticated have started a new bloghop/networking idea. the facebook page can be found here. I really like this idea as it is more of a "get to know one another and grow your blog" as opposed to aimlessly following blog after blog. The facebook page is also a great forum to ask questions or get advice!

in honor of #nationalpuppyday, we also made it a grill night and did turkey burgers...of course we made doggy friendly ones as well (without onions/seasoning) but failed at getting a picture of them eating their burgers as our dogs are insane.
3. like I said, this post will have a lot of food in it so:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes and Edible Cookie Dough...oh yeah-egg free!
J and I both had a bit of a rough week/raging sweet tooth so, I made him cupcakes and I scoured the whole foods sweet section and zeroed in on this babe-again, yaasssssss!

even Yoda want's some! |
I also, went to trader joes on a regular trip to pick up the regular items and found Gorgonzola Gnocchi...have you ever had Panera's mac&cheese? (yes:hold on for a minute. no:...really, what are you doing with your life?) well it is ahhhh-mazing! anyways, this gnocchi from TJs is literally just like it! $2.99 for a 12oz bag I had to limit myself to this baby cup because let me tell you...this gnocchi is "bae"...ugh I HATE that phrase but...you know what I mean, it is amazing!
5. Two things.
#1..are any of my Bachelor girls watching Dancing with the Stars?? Prince Farming is on it and well...he is more awkward than ever. I literally feel uncomfortable watching him..it's bad y'all! Poor Witney and WHitney!
#2. umm who are you??
Pretty Little Liars left me in a serious state of shock. I was reading Marlene King's twitter and she said "if you are confused, start again from season three and rewatch up until this finale-it will make sense". #hurryupjune10th
6. Just for kicks, lets throw in a #6 for this 5 on Friday.. this ladies is why my boyfriend is the best!
Last night, J didn't get home from work until 9pm (he worked from 4am-9pm..!) but, when he got home, he asked if I wanted anything as he was warming up dinner and I said "maybe just a glass of wine" He hooked a girl up! #fulltothetop again, yaassss!
Anyways, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend-and enjoy all the birthday cake frappuchinos you can drink!
