Friday Faves - I can't stay away.

I know, I know.

The other day I said I'd be off the grid for awhile.

I lied. Sort of.

But this blog has become a lot like peanut m&m's or bite size brownies or Appletinis - I'm addicted. 

And it is Friday. And in 10 months, I do not believe I've missed a Friday Favorites post (the time or two I've posted it on a Saturday totally still counts), and even though it is 7:30 p.m., I'm coming in under the wire (and it tells you how exciting my Friday nights are, doesn't it?).

But because of the reasons I mentioned the other day plus a few others, this week's faves will be brief. In fact, I'm sticking to pictures. And some of them aren't even mine. 

Cheating? Maybe. 

I like to think of it as creative.

Let's start with our Friday gif, shall we? 

I had a hard time deciding, so I picked two.

Up to his old tricks.
"Hey, Beyonce, that dress looks like it could use a little color."
Sorry, but I'll never forget.

Stay ALERT, Sasha! Clinton is like two rows behind you.

Now let's get on with the faves. I've got a family movie night to get to which includes Madagascar 3, popcorn and Root Beer. And by 'Root Beer', I mean an Appletini.

1. My bulb garden - 

4 stages of Paperwhites over the past 2 weeks.

When it's below freezing in Minnesota, every little bit of green helps keep me sane.

2.  My niece Ellie - 

Come ON.

She needs to be in a commercial, right? 

3.  This sweet cat - 

This is our oldest cat, Leea.

She has diabetes and needs insulin injections twice a day.

Good thing she's so sweet.

4. This YouTube video - 

Oh, it's stupid, no question.

But it always - always - makes me laugh.

5. This contest - 

I'm nowhere near the Top 25, but here's the thing. 

Were you ever a new girl?

Did you ever feel not quite part of the group?

Well, then, let's do something about it, dammit.

A vote for me - every day - will be a vote for new girls everywhere! Just click that pink button up there and then scroll waaay down...eventually you'll find the YMFT Appletini. 

(And also, there's a lot of other good blogs there that totally deserve your vote. 

Hey, I may be a new girl, but  I'm also a nice girl, remember?)

And as long as you're clicking....
