HAPPY FRIDAY!!

(I promise my eyebrows are not THAT out of control, it’s just really unfortunate shadowing)

Last weekend was mostly this:

I loved the praise and worship songs, of course, but was less impressed by the program itself.

This weekend I don’t really have plans and I have to admit that’s my favorite kind of weekend. But I’m sure it will fill up fast because that’s always what happens when I say I’m not going to do anything!

Today I will be obsessing over this:

New Computer will hopefully be waiting for me when I get home. I cannot wait.

You may have already seen the massive sushi attack that happened on my Instagram feed last night. I know people were salty about the changes to the Instagram App (not related to Facebook, btw, that deal hasn’t officially closed yet) but I have to say it’s kind of fun creeping on what everyone else has “liked.” According to Instagram, my friends like food, pets, babies, manicures, and jewelry. And this is why we’re friends, y’all.

Anyway, I was going to say that I documented my dinner but I forgot to show off my lovely dinner date:

She’s almost 12 weeks already. Time flies! She actually ended up sleeping most of the time while her parents and I gorged ourselves on all that sushi. Yum.

This Week’s Links

Need a good laugh? Check out these better names for Snack Foods. 

If you’re an online shopper like me you’ll really appreciate this guide to star ratings.

I’ve said it before and Brooke reminded me of it again this week- Stop Apologizing for Your Blog. I’m definitely going to take this to heart as I finish my blog overhaul in the coming weeks!

It looks like even the American Girl Dolls are jumping on the blogger topknot bandwagon. Scroll through Amy’s pictures to see what I’m talking about (and admire how awesome that store is, it’s nuts!).

Everyone needs to read this post Molly wrote about how “plus size” models should not be defining our future and then save it to read again on a day you’re feeling less than awesome about your body. It’s a really great reminder of how perspective can influence our feelings.

What do you have planned for this weekend?

So, did it come? Your new computer??

Great links, by the way! I just spent the last half an hour pouring through Molly’s site. Wow, good stuff. Thanks for sharing, Kate!

Hope you have fun playing with your new toy this weekend!

Yes, my new baby is here. I’ve been drowning Instagram with obnoxious pictures of it, haha. Blog designs look really different on this thing, let me tell you!

And I’m glad you liked the links this week! I went to school with Molly, she’s awesome!
