Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week, but I know we are all ready for the weekend...right!? I always have the best of intentions to get a bunch of to-dos and goals done over the weekend. Most of the things get done, but I always end up leaving things out. This weekend one day will be taken by the GFAF Expo, but I am still hoping I can get what I want done. I need to write a few more college essays, get blog posts ready for next week, grocery shop, change my bed sheets and vacuum my room, do homework/study, and READ! i have been giving up my nightly reading time the last 3 days for opting to do more homework...I miss good books...So will I get all this done? I hope so. I will check in on Monday and let you know! Now it's time for the Finisher!
SS Posts from the week:
Monday: Power Monday #9 Living in the Past, Present, or Future
Tuesday: #augustbreak2013 Recap
Wednesday: The Sweet Potato
Thursday: School, Sprouting, Workouts, and Fun Weekend Plans

My goal this weekend is to have as much fun as possible! I'm heading to my favourite 3 year olds birthday party at the park tomorrow (and she knows Kristy will play in the playground with her and go on the slides) and then on Sunday I'm meeting one of my oldest blog friends for the first time ever at an event!
