the Friday five — link up #8

The deep emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the same one that can heal it; it's just a matter of channeling it properly. #lifelessons

the Sowell life's Friday five...

1) {Oh Marsie Belle} We had the little one all week until yesterday, and she kept our nights full of entertainment. She plays real hard for about an hour and a half, and then it's all downhill. What we like to call, "nite nite time". But her granny came and took her back to Mississippi yesterday at lunch. But have no fear, we will get to see her again next week!

2) {Blue Skies} The weather y'all has been beautiful most of the week. Pretty much all of the days have been full of blue skies, and even though a few of the days have been a little nippy, I haven't had a problem with it because the sun made it feel nice. The trees are starting to bud, and I'm pretty sure everything I'm allergic to is starting to make it's presence known because I can't stop sneezing. 

3 {Southern Living} Let's face it, nothing makes me feel more Southern, or grown up than receiving my Southern Living magazine in the mail. You see, growing up, every home I entered ALWAYS had a Southern Living magazine on their coffee table. And that's one thing that I always knew I wanted to have in my own home one day. Well, this is my third magazine of my first subscription and it still makes me smile when it comes in the mail. I also feel like I should have on my pearls, long white gloves and pantyhose when I read it. Ha!

4) {Easter candy} More specifically, sweet tart gummie bears. One of my co-workers brought in a bag yesterday, and man I forgot how yummy those things are! My favorite ones, in this order: pink, purple, green, blue, orange, and yellow. And yes, I eat all of the colors in order of my favorites. However, most of the time, the orange and yellow ones are given away. Aka... the Mr eats them. =)

5) {Taco Kits} We have a love for Mexican food. Most of the time we just order take out or eat at the restaurant, but we've recently found something that we both love. It's a Taco Bell kit from the grocery store... Taco Bell Home Originals Cheesy Double Decker Taco Dinner Kit. And this is perfect for us, because I love the hard shells, and he loves the soft tortillas. Even though you are suppose to put them together with this kit, we do it our way. And y'all the cheese that it comes with... YUM. So this is how we put our tacos together... spread cheese in/on the taco first, then put in/on some sour cream, add the meat and then top it with salsa. Have you tried this kit? It's pretty awesome when you don't want to go out for the real Mexican food. And no, I'm not talking about Taco Bell! =)

We have a full weekend ahead of us! Here are some of the things I'm most looking forward to:

• my massage appt Saturday morning (I'm using one of the hour long massages that the Mr gave me for Vday)

• our Bham BLATE! So excited to meet fellow Bham bloggers

• Sams trip — y'all may think this is crazy, but I love to bulk shop

Well, that's the Sowell life's #theFridayfive... ready to link up?! I can't wait to see what y'all are posting today!
