Five Senses Friday 2/26/10

Well this week has been a treat! My husband and I recieved our tax refund which was SO exciting! I was able to order our new iMac, printer, and an iPod Touch. I am still like a kid at Christmas! I feel so grown up, moving on the road to becoming a professional designer. But since several of our new items arrived yesterday, I was immersed in a world of new gadgets and unable to write my typical Ray of Sunshine Thursday post. I am sure my few readers understand, since they are all close friends! But I can tell you, these fun new toys have certainly have been my ray of sunshine this week!

But since it is Friday, I am definitely posting my usual "Five Senses" blog! I have also been promised a few comments from some of my nearest and dearest (which I am looking forward to). So here it goes!

TOUCHING: My iPod Touch. I literally spent my night yesterday playing games. It distracted me from the frustration of setting up the Apple AirPort. I forgot how frustrating new technology can be, even though it is amazing and wonderful!).

SMELLING: The smell of my work clothes. If you have ever worked in a restaurant, you know exactly what I am talking about. I worked a lot this week, including an 11 hour double. So needless to say, I have been wearing a lot of black clothes which smell of restaurant. Even after they have been washed, the smell is forever embedded into the fabric!

TASTING: A southwest quesadilla from Friday's. I love quesadillas, and I have had this particular entree before. It was previously delicious- a little spice and a lot of flavor. Well, whoever made my latest one almost made me vomit. Yeah, it was that hot. It made me choke. I drank two glasses of water and was eating pure bites of sour cream, still my mouth was on fire from only a few bites! Needless to say, I will not be ordering this quesadilla again!

SEEING: Our new living room rug. FINALLY, I purchased a new rug, which has been long overdue. I found a beautiful one on sale (60% off) at Pier 1. The burnt orange, tan, and turquoise diamonds add a little spice to my life. It is 5x8, much larger than our previous rug, and has completely changed the look of our living room. It is amazing how something so simple can bring a fresh new look to our home.

HEARING: This week I have been listening to one of my old pop mixes, featuring tunes by Jay-Z, Britney Spears, Gym Class Heros, and one of my favorites by Jenny Owen Young. It is her own take on Nelly's Hot in Herre. Just give it a listen and you will see why!



Well, everyone, even if your week has been full of stress, play the five senses game and reflect on your week. I am sure you can find a bright spot! I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
