High Five for Friday

After being reminded that I have been a blogging slacker, I've decided to link up with Lauren From My Grey Desk.  She hosts a High Five for Friday "link" party every Friday. All you do is look over your week and pick your top 5 things! 

That seems easy enough.. So, here's my five:

1. This has been a good week.  We've had a lot going on recently and I was beginning to feel slightly stressed and "spread too thin".  Last week was a nightmare of busy days, but finally it slowed a bit and Jordan and I have been able to spend some time together.. every night this week (aside from his shifts at the fire station) we have been able to sit at the table, enjoy dinner together, and then veg out- catching up on our favorite shows- well, some of them at least ! 

2. This week I spent an entire day in the Whole Foods kitchen participating in a workshop hosted by Field To Plate.   The workshop was titled: From Nutrition Prescription to the Individual Kitchen.  Let me just tell you- I learned so much- and with fellow RD's like myself to make it all the more fun. 

3.  I got a phone call this week from Simple and Delicous Magazine (Taste of Home) informing me of my 3rd place contest winnings!  The contest will be featured in their July-August issue, along with my Shimp & Golden Zucchini Pesto Bowtie Pasta. 

4.  I made this perfect summer purchase and I can't wait to wear it :)  Orange is all the rave right now, and this bold maxi makes my summer wardrobe that much brighter.

I do have the belt and the sandals.. also from Loft (best store EVER.)

I've come to discover the actual amount of orange clothing I have purchased in the past month.  I love it- screams summer!  Plus, it is everywhere!  I'm just drawn to it :)

5.  Tomorrow Jordan and I head out of town for a short over-nighter with some great friends we share community with.  Can't wait- pictures to come!! 

There's my High Five for this Friday.. How about yours?
