Friday Five.

Happy Friday, everyone! I had the day off from work yesterday and got to spend some quality time with Emily and Lane. We ate lunch at Olympik deli and browsed around TJMaxx. It was Lane's first time and judging by the picture below, he was obviously very impressed....

I finally decided to find out what all of the hoopla was about with the J.Crew swing sweater. I found a gray linen version, new with tags, on Ebay for $23! It arrived on my doorstep a few days later and I wore it for 2 days straight. It is so roomy and comfortable, that I can definitely see myself picking them up in every color. 
Similar here (on sale) and here.

I have been on a huge blue cheese kick lately so when I spotted these Laughing Cow light blue cheese wedges the other day at World Market, they immediately went into my basket. Each triangle is only 35 calories, and when paired with cucumber slices, you have a super healthy snack! Also very delicious on crackers.

We got a new washing machine yesterday! Isn't it funny the things you get excited about as you get older? The one we had before was probably just as old as I am and would often bounce around the room if there was a large load inside. Needless to say, a new one was definitely needed. 

We got it from Plugs Appliance Center, a locally owned appliance store, where my dad actually works! So if any of you locals are in need of a new appliance (they also sell mattresses!), ask for Chuck! :)

That's my pops on the right.

Right before Emily had Lane, someone told me about a website called Meal Train. It's a website to help organize meals that are brought to parents who just had a baby, someone who is sick, someone who lost a family member, a new neighbor, an elderly person, or really anyone in need of a little help! It's so much easier than emailing a group of people 340584 times and then having to read back through those emails because you forgot what day you signed up for. As the creator of the Meal Train, you list the person's address, what time they usually eat, any allergies or dietary restrictions, etc. 

Here is an example of what the calendar looks like:

I can definitely picture these sitting pretty on my bar.
