Friday 5: Who needs a theme?

Rabbit rabbit! Happy May! Or as I like to think of it: Pre-June.

Today is National Chocolate Parfait Day (yes please!) and National Mother Goose Day (mkay). I was also off work today, using up some of my comp days from the conference.

Here is my list for today:

Despite using their notepad, I didn’t make it to Occasionette (I didn’t feel like dealing with Collingswood parking). I also didn’t watercolor because I decided to begin laundering my sofa cushion covers instead. A typical day off activity, right?

I had cleaned them before by steam cleaning but decided to toss them into the washer because why not? I own it. If I ruin it, I’d buy slipcovers or something. I’m an adult!

They came out beautifully. Tomorrow I’ll wash the seat cushions. I also decided to add more stuffing to the back cushions because after 4 years they’re pretty mushy. I didn’t have enough stuffing so I ordered more from Amazon (RIP JoAnn). And because I am TERRIBLE with size/weight/etc I ordered six and a half pounds. That’s a lot of stuffing. We’ll see what this box looks like tomorrow.

Today’s Friday 5 theme is Who Needs a Theme? Not this girl!

1. What is your least favorite episode of your favorite (or a favorite) television show?
   Since Ted Lasso is back in the news, I did not enjoy when Ted was spiraling about his ex-wife dating and asked Rebecca to hire a PI to follow them in Paris. Ugh. That really colored my view of him for the rest of the series.
   
2. What are some of your favorite struggle meals?
   Buttered noodles. A can of soup with bread and butter or saltine crackers.
   
3. What movie do you like despite its starring actors you dislike?
   I like most of Tom Cruise’s movies, but I think he’s insufferable and brainwashed. Katie Holmes needed to plan for six months — with secret lawyers and burner phones — to get herself and her daughter away from him, and I don’t think people talk about that enough.
   
4. What areas of your life are trending upward?
   I am getting back into the swing of exercising and eating better again. And of course, summer is on the way. I am the best version of myself in spring and summer.
   
5. For a playlist of songs that make you feel good, what are the first five songs you’d add?
   I’ve already done this! I have a Spotify playlist called Unapologetic Fun that I started in 2012. The first five songs are: “Vibeology” by Paula Abdul; “Womanizer” and “(You Drive Me) Crazy” both by Britney Spears; “Groove Is in the Heart” by Dee-Lite; and “California Love” with 2Pac and Dr. Dre. I’ll put the entire playlist below.
   

And that is that! I know I was quiet this week, but I was wiped out this week with nothing to say. I’ll figure out more for next week.

Enjoy your weekend, and have some Unapologetic Fun!
