First Five on Friday

Two blog posts in one week. Consider yourself lucky, friends. It's just one of those days where I need to write so here I am, writing on a Friday. 

In all honesty, I already wrote a post for today, but it's not the one you're reading right now. I left that little bugger in the drafts pile. Why, you ask? Because it was filled with some recent annoyances that have infiltrated my life and the complaints that surfaced because of them. And ya know what? I just don't need to focus on the negativity and the daily things that get under my skin. Sure, some things aren't going as well as I would like, but that doesn't mean I should focus my attention on them or bitch and moan about aggravating things around me. 

So that post will just sit with all my angst sitting quietly with it. 

Instead, I'm going to do a link up that I've never done before: the "Five on Friday" party.

1. I'm super excited for next week/weekend! Super fun friend things on Wednesday and Thursday, Valentines Day on Friday and the Cupid Undies Run with some friends on Saturday! Yes, i'll be running outside, in Michigan, in February, in the snow, in my underwear. It's fine to call me insane - I'll agree with you.

2. I'm craving another tattoo. They really are like that damn Pringles jingle - once you pop, you just can't stop! I don't know exactly what I want yet, but I have a pretty good idea. Just have to finalize things a bit more. And luckily for me, my best friend also wants to get another one, so I think I'm looking at a girl's tattoo date! 

3. I'm really, really, entirely, completely over winter. This winter has been the absolute worst for us Michiganders and it just needs to stop. Oh, 25 degrees below zero isn't normal? Could have fooled me. It's what we've had for the past month!

4. I have been craving donuts lately like it's my damn job. If someone paid me for every time I thought about, wanted or craved that perfect circle of deliciousness, I would be a billionaire. In fact, I just bought a new phone case that has, you guessed it, donuts on it. I'm just lucky that I rarely, rarely eat these little guys and consider them a treat or else I'd weigh 700 lbs. My goal this weekend: eat a damn donut.

5. Last week, I finally finished Allegiant, the third book in the Divergent series. To say the end was a shocker would be a huge understatement. To be honest, I didn't like it at all and it left a bad taste in my mouth. It was just very disappointing. Anyway, I need someone to talk to about it since my best friend hasn't finished it yet, so let me know if you've read it! Let's bond over our Divergent feelings. 

There you have it, folks. My Five on Friday! Much better than a post full of complaining, am I right? And I feel more upbeat, too! I almost let the negativity of frustration sink it's teeth in me, but I fought it off. Positivity all the way! I deserve a pat on the back, if I do say so myself. 

Have a grand weekend!
