Hey kids, happy Friday! Surprisingly I managed to post 3 times this week, so either I’ve been drinking entirely too much coffee, or I’m just feeling a little more inspired to write down my random thoughts.  Either way, I think we can safely say it’s a win for everyone.  I kid, I kid.

So as per ushe’, let’s get things going with AFTF.

1.  FIRST OF ALL… It’s my biff’s birthday!!  And if you know us, you know that for some reason after a few cocktails, we tend to start every sentence with a slurry “FIRST OF ALL…” like we’re about to reveal something earth-shattering, but instead tackle some other ridiculous issue like a reality tv character that we can’t stand or how much we love Tim Gunn.  But I digress.  So happiest of birthdays to my true lady love and partner in crime.  I love you and I’m truly thankful everyday that we are best frans <3

2.  As I mentioned via my daily journal, aka instagram, I am increasingly obsessed with polkadots lately.  I mean ob.sessed.  I see- I want.  I think people are starting to wonder if I’ve joined some sort of whimsical cult.  My latest piece to the collection comes in the form of the most ahhhhdorable dress from Zara, and I got it on sale (holler) so that makes it ok.  But now I promise not to buy anything else polka-dotted for at LEAST a month.  Or  a week…. no.  A month.

Or maybe I should get some polka dot shoes?  Ugh.  Halp.

3.  This is more of a somber note… but it’s been almost a year since we lost our little puppster Hendrix to bone cancer.  I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately and have had a few teary nights, just reminiscing about what a great dog he was and how sad it is that we only got to spend such a short time with him.  Mac came along just when we needed him and helped us heal better than anything else in the world could have.  I honestly cannot imagine my life without a dog in it, and that’s why I think we should get another one.  I KNOW.  Two dogs is a lot.  Twice the food… twice the vet bills… twice the fur… but it’s also twice the cuteness and twice the unfaltering love and puppy kisses.  So we’ll see if it actually happens, but I think Mr. Mac needs a friend and hopefully I can convince the husband to see things my way.  But don’t worry, I’m really good at that.

I need a friend, Mom…

Anyone else have two dogs?  Thoughts?  Too much to handle or easier than I think?

Enjoy your weekends, loves! xo
