Five on Friday

I wanted to write this post last night like a good little blogger, but then I decided it was time for bed.  Better late than never.  My top five:

I switched shampoo and conditioner three weeks ago.  Folks, it didn't last long.  I returned those products thanks to Ulta's fantastic policy and I'm back to a tried and true - L'Oreal EverPure.  I like the smell, gives me volume, and actually cleans my hair.  I may do a review on the product line I was using and why we had to break up.

My mom's birthday!  We celebrated with dinner at Tripps and lemon cheesecake for dessert.  She told me a few weeks back that she wanted lemon cheesecake for her birthday so I tried a Pinterest recipe.  Well with my sleepy eyes I must not have read that it was intended for pre-made graham cracker crust.  I used my springform pan with a homemade graham cracker crust but I thought I had a 9 inch pan.  Unfortunately I realized my error at 8:30 on Monday night and I was not going to go out for more ingredients...I made a thin cheese cake in my 12 inch pan.  It was still delicious though and gave us an excuse to get a bigger slice.  Next time though, I'm doubling the filling recipe.

three.

Speaking of Pinterest, hubs made these delicious baked pickle chips recently.  And they were divine.

Memorial Day.  Three glorious days off from work to enjoy the pool, the grill, and the sun.  Or just to catch up on some much needed R&R.  But it's more than that y'all, we have to give all the credit and appreciation to our fallen heroes.  We will be toasting margaritas in remembrance and thanking God for our freedom and those who protect it.

I made a jcrew factory run after work today.  This was a need.

You know the drill...
