Catching up: 5 things

I'm still catching up from my days away, so here are 5 thoughts worth sharing with the internet:

1. I am always amazed at how kind and thoughtful people can be.  I got so many nice comments and notes while I was away, and it really made me smile during a tough weekend. 

2. After posting about work totes, I found this one and love it.  It's the new front-runner.

3. I showed my husband the bedroom inspiration post below, and he likes this option the best.  Of course it's the one that I was least excited about, but the easiest to imitate.  I think I may bring my gray zebra pillows into the bedroom and start from there.

4. I got a True Blood graphic novel for an early birthday gift and embarrassed at how much I like it. 

5. I am buying champagne and strawberries specifically so that I can make this drink for my 28th birthday on Friday.  I don't feel old yet, but we'll see how I feel next week.  :)
