It's the most wonderful time of the, week! H54F!

That's right it's lunchtime on Friday, my most favorite lunchtime of the week besides Saturdays and Sunday's.

I've got big plans this weekend too, I am going to run a 10K tomorrow as long as my pointer toe (yes that is the scientific name) is feeling up to the challenge, I apparently pulled a tendon while blasting my previous 5k record out of the water last night. That's right I shaved and entire 2 min off my time! I blame it on actually sleeping and eating a balanced meal, apparently I'm growing up. Then in the afternoon the Cattleman and I are going to Fall Fest and Art in the park! Two awesome festivals on one day. I can hardly contain myself. Keep watch on instagram (alypen3060)  for updates through my activities. Annnd THEN on Sunday we will be practicing on beef tenderloins for our big upcoming BBQ Smoke Competition on Sept 22 our team name is Smoke Break teehee!

I wish all of your lives were as exciting as mine.

Let's get down to the dirty of why we are here, it's High 5 4 Fridays where I tell you my most favorite parts of the last few day's.

1. Buckeyes football fans have been voted the No. 1 fans in the NCAA. That would be THE Ohio State University and we are kind of a big deal. :)

The script Ohio was also voted No. 1 for best game day traditions last year, not that I'm bragging or anything.

2. I found this little number from Ranch House Designs and popped it onto my background because the truth is what it is.

3. This isn't really new but I feel it's such an awesome radio station app that everyone needs to get it because it's totes def my fav. It's The Red-Dirt Rebel out of Lubbock, Texas your one stop shop for all things Red Dirt.

4. I've got some made cat dance moves! Shout out to my friends Shawana and Mike for such a fabulous wedding! I'm glad I could dance the night away in your honor.

I'm not really sure what we are doing here but if I had to guess it's The Wobble and we look fantastic. The cattleman only enters a dance floor on two occasions 1. I drag him 2. If they play Ludacris...

5. I'm glad it's finally fall and am going to celebrate with all things pumpkin, cabbage and hard cider. I'd love for you to join!

So what's your favorite pumpkin treat?

High Five Friday's

Aww young ones we meet again for our Friday social.

So i've been contemplating starting a petition to change the name of Friday to Firday. Why you ask? Well I have a couple reasons, the first is, I inevitably spell Friday as Firday (I just did it again...) every time I type the word out so this change would save me the hassle of using the backspace button and second because it just makes it sound so warm and cuddly like a soft place to warm after a long hard week. Genius, I know, now only if we can train it to start serving the margaritas at noon, I think I would be on to something....

My High 5's this week!!

1. This has been my gorgeous forecast all the week long! I love living in the dessert! 

2. I received Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman's new cookbook on Tuesday!! I was so excited because I pre-ordered it back in December so I didn't even have to think about it, the book just came to me. 

Yes I had it delivered to my office and yes I now own both books!
Groupie in it's highest form.

This cookbook is jam packed full of amazing recipes and I plan on trying a couple this weekend for our Shake Your Shamrocks party!! 

3.I discovered this excellent article about the correlation of red meat and a healthy diet and how the scientists who originally were "informing" the public that it was bad for your diet, didn't even use a relevant scientific study to determine this. It then shows you that red meat is NOT bad for you. Check it out here, you will be glad you did!

4. THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY won in the second round of the tournament last night!! On the road to the championship, GO BUCKS!! If you couldn't tell I am a lil hometown proud... Oh and Go KState Wildcats, I guess your my new hometown lol.

5. I found this and it's freakin hysterical. Your welcome.

Happy Firday my lovelies!!!

A little March Madness My Darlings

I hope each of you has filled out a bracket by now, if not I guess your one less in my way for the 5 million I plan to win from ESPN. Obv I picked THE Ohio State and Duke to go at it in the end but I'm not entirely positive about the rest of my picks besides Mizzu making it into the Final Four.

This was my rough draft, the real one is on ESPN's site.

I am in the pull at work, I told them all that I would be the money holder because I am going to win it all anyways... They didn't go for it.

I will proudly be sporting live scores on my desk top for the next two weeks. Let the madness begin!!!

Who did you pick?
