Back for Five on Friday.

It’s Friday and I’m blogging again so yes, we are doing five on Friday. Wahoo!

1. I made the Bridal Shower invites for my friend and just did the Baby Shower invites for another friend. I am really loving the process of this (and I think I am pretty good at it). I love taking their vision or theme or ideas or even just color and vibe and turning it into something. I’ll figure out a way to change the important details (stalkers need not show up to these events LOL) so you can see once their events pass because I don’t want to ruin any surprise either.

2. Want a preview of something coming to the blog next week?Also, I love paper goods a lot. And macarons.

3. Confession: I have found myself out in the ‘burbs more often. Don’t get me wrong I love seeing my family. But I do not love showing up at the doctor and at 9 a.m. on Saturday in the ‘burbs only to be told and to realize that my appointment is next week. Bug thumbs up, Nina. Way to go!

4. If you read yesterday’s post, you may have seen that I am kind of getting obsessed with biking (I’ll call it cycling when I have more experience. Ha! I don’t feel like I have the right yet!) I was able to get my pretty cream bike with birthday money (along with a trainer for inside because my birthday was in February and I had to be able to ride inside). But now that I am riding outside, I have a really geeky wish list that includes the most amazing helmets, several locks (bike stealing is a major thing here in Chicago), and special bolts for my wheels so no one can remove them. Basically, you probably aren’t interested.

5. I’m not able to see my mom this mother’s day because of this Bridal Shower that is at the opposite end of the state. I will miss her so much. I mean, I miss her all the time but I’m bummed we won’t get to spend the day together.

These pictures were each taken at the end of our senior years of high school. Nuts, right?I told you I was back for real!
