Friday Favorites Five vol.11

Alright, alright, alright...... it's Friday.  Yes!

1. Calling all book lovers - this story and video should certainly bring a smile to your face: Nowra librarians promote joy of books on youtube

2. This is the greatest water bottle I've ever owned.  Seriously.  I buy a 2liter everyday of sparkling water (I prefer it to still water), keep it in the refrigerator, and refill this all day long.  This single product has helped me drink more water and kick other sugary drinks to the curb. (I'm not getting paid to say this; it's my unbiased opinion.)

3.  Alright.  This video has made the rounds for a couple of months, but I had a friend share it again on facebook.  I had to re-watch it at least three times in a row because it is that good.  If you need to laugh, or you need to smile, or you need a little sassy in your life, watch this.  Even if you've seen it before, it's worth it to watch it again.

5.  I'm stealing Megan's idea and adding this to my Friday Favorites because it is quickly becoming a favorite activity (focusing on things that make me happy).

  5. That video is adorable. I had heard about it but I don't recalling watching it. I just watched and couldn't stop smiling about it. I got a Swell water bottle. I got it because it actually does keep water cold for 24 hours and I like cold water. Plus the bottle can fit ice cubs, they too stay for 24 hours. I love it.

  7. I love the reading meme, nothing could be more true. If a book is good enough it lives in my mind and keeps me from starting another!

  14. That dance recital video cracked me up! I finished Eleanor & Park (in like two days) and I was distraught. Certain books do that to me, and then others (even if they're good) I'll be relieved when they're done if it's taking me a long time to finish them!

  18. Oh my goodness, #4 is exactly how I feel after finishing a book, especially if it was a really good one. Like, I totally feel bereft and wonder well, what now? These books suck you in! :)

  19. Happy Birthday to the pup! That is so me when I read a book. What are you reading now? I love forehead kisses but mostly because my nose is always in a book! haha! Have a great week!

  20. Aw!! Forehead kisses are the best! :) Also- how sweet of that lady to buy you that scarf. That inspires me to do more random-nice things. Sounds like you had a great week! :)

  21. Wooot woot, shoutout! Obviously I'm a mabillitonty years late to the game, but thank you! :)
    My camelbak bottle was what made a difference in my water drinking. It was a gift from Teh WJL when we were in college and when it cracked the DAY before I left MD to come to SC, I was devastated. I almost cried.
    Hell yes to the naps!

I love comments, and I enjoy our interactions. I respond via email, but if you're a "no reply blogger", I can't. Don't think I'm ignoring you!
