It's about time, Friday | taking stock

Helllllooo May! You are so welcomed around here. April showers bring May flowers, right?! We better especially after the monsoon we had on Wednesday. Yesterday we welcomed May with sunshine and warm temps. I've been on the struggle bus the past few weeks with sinus headaches and allergies, and whatever else this spring season has thrown my way. I'm finally feeling refreshed and back to normal. Have any fun plans for this weekend? Tomorrow I'm going to a friends place for an early Cinco de Mayo celebration . . . queue the margaritas, salsa, and the mariachi band! Okay I doubt there will be a mariachi band, but it will be fun! Have a great one and enjoy this take stock list in lieu of links this week . . .
