Andrea @ The Pineapple Cake says

Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says
So jealous of your day off enjoy it! My clock in my car is set early too but I end up playing road wars to make it at a certain time. Haha! Martha got no skills on the dance floor, though I feel that way with some DVD workouts too.
B @ The Sequin Notebook says
Enjoy your long weekend (and hopefully the rest will do your toe some good, ouch!). That headwrap is so fun, I looove the feather!
BLovedBoston says
I love that head wrap!! I’m so excited that you have some days to burn…I actually found the same thing out yesterday and will be off from x-mss until January 5th!!! :)
Your poor toe – that is not fun, but you’re so right better now than right before the wedding!!! That llama gif…too funny!! Happy Friday! xo
Nadine Lynn says
I love David Guetta! LOL @ people should stop expecting me to be normal. My life! Haha!

That bang bang shrimp looks bomb! I watched the llama/alpaca gif probably a half dozen times ha.
Joey says
I had to grab my laptop to fix something so I’m laying here in bed reading this post. J and I have watched and re-watched that llama about a hundred times! Happy Friday Friend! (Oh, and that that woman in the chimney video? seriously? ha)
Ashley says
oh my gosh, the ice-cream gif had me laughing for a solid minute. I seriously hate when it’s vanilla yogurt flavored with pieces of whatever flavor their advertising. Not a cool trick to shoppers! Use those vaca days girl!
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
Too many vacation days? What an awful problem to have :) Enjoy your day off, pretty girl!

Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says
I’m glad that I’m not the only one that found the story about the woman getting stuck in the chimney absolutely hilarious. I mean, who does that? Whack jobs, apparently. Anyways, as always I enjoyed all your favorites – you find the best funnies that get me off to a great start to the day. Have a wonderful weekend, dear! xo

SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says
I always die laughing at myself when I do zumba and other dance workout things at home.
Jealous of your three day work weeks until January, that’s amazing.
Have a great weekend!
JumpingJE says
Best of luck curing your halloween toe – that sounds awful even at “only” 2 lbs! Happy weekend!
Meghan Gilling says
Two pound weights are no joke girlfran. We have a new arms sequence and its to Burnjng by Jessie J, so it’s fast and I’m terrified I’m gonna let go/the weights will jump from my hands and crack a mirror or something. I open ots not broken because they take forever to heal as I’m sure you know. Also I’m glad I’m not the only one with a purse that’s heavy enough to trigger the “PUT ON YOUR SEAT BELT OR ELSE!” Warning in my car
Xoxo,
Meghan
Elle Sees says
i do the same thing–the car clock is 5 min fast! hehe hope ya have a good weekend :)
Nichole @ casadecrews.com says
Yesss! My car does the same thing because of my bag…that’s probably not a good thing is it? Whoops. That salad looks heavenly!
Jana @ Jana Says says
Thanks to my car clock, my subtraction skills are spectacular!
Ouch on the toe..hope it feels better soon!
Emily says
Yes, yes, yes to the at-home dance workouts! I’m waiting for the day when I’m caught on some secret camera I’m suuuure my husband as installed (yeah, right). But still…I close all the curtains and blinds and lock the door when that goes down :)
The Pink Growl says
Most of the clocks in my life are set 5-10 mins fast too. It just helps me, even though it seems weird to some. GIVE ME ALL THE BANG BANG SHRIMP!! :) Enjoy your long weekend!
P!nky says
YUM, bang bang shrimp, so delicious!!!! Those funnies are awesome, I love Martha trying to dance…get it girl!
Brittany @ Perpetually Daydreaming says
I love your funnies – that Martha Stewart video is just too much. I heard about the crazy stalker lady getting stuck in the chimney and they had to use dish soap to get her out. bahaha Ridiculous!
Shannon Geurin says

Oh you poor thing, that toe sounds painful! Hope it heals quickly!
LOL at the setting your clock ahead funny, that is so me!
Also my car dings at me for my groceries and/or purse to put its seatbelt on all the time.
The Siberian American says
Aww, I’m sorry about your toe. That sounds so painful. :( Also, that Bang Bang Shrimp recipe looks fantastic! Have a great weekend. :)
Julie @ Just the Joy's says
First of all… yes, October needs to be longer! Second of all, I am SO jealous of your time off through the end of the year! That sounds like a gravy schedule! And it’s extra awesome that you’ll be able to do some extra wedding planning! Lastly, I love that headband ear warmer thing! I can never find cute ones! Have a good weekend!
Kateri Von Steal says
YAY VACATION!
And oh I totally heard about the girl getting stuck in the chimney – and I couldn’t laugh harder about it. CRAZY!!!!!
And super ouch for dropping a dumbbell on your toe. :( We were sparring on Tuesday – and Klay attempted to be a bad ass which back fired – and he lifted the nail off his big toe – it’s super Halloween-ie and gross right now.
Happy Friday!
Carly Blogs Here says
Those gifs are all too funny! I am going to check out that bang bang shrimp recipe- a lighter version sounds perfect! I hope you enjoy your day off– and I hope your toe heels quickly, that sounds so painful!
Zelle B. says
Hahaha that subtraction ecard though — my clock is 4 minutes fast, but I know this, so…doesn’t work out. And those shrimp — yum! Hope you have a great weekend!

Dropping a weight SUCKS!! Even just 2 pounds. I am listening to your fav song while I type this and I am jamming out!! I LOVE it, thanks for sharing.
You have some serious days to use up and I kinda think I could get used to Fridays & Mondays off til Jan!!
That shrimp dish looks amazing and I am hungry so it makes me want to have it right now
Melissa Suggitt says

Ow to the toe!! I haven’t dropped a weight on them, but I swear I stub my ‘middle toe’ way too often! It HURTS!!! And loving that song- I need to add it to my running mix!
Angie@Chasingmyhalo says
So sorry about your toe! There’s something about injuring fingers and toes that is SOOO painful. That Martha Stewart video is going to be something I remember if I ever need cheering up. Buahahahaha! Have a great week Amanda:).
Kaitlin Goodall says
OMG Martha!! Noooo!!! HAhaha … and that shrimp recipe looks awesome!!

Lucky lady- enjoy your day off!! Love the head wrap- might have to get it myself.

Oh god, so embarrassed for Martha. My purse is the reason the passenger seat belt is buckled, with our without an actual passenger so the little light doesn’t keep coming off and on haha. Love the softball drama bahah. Happy weekend!
Darcy says

I was all but falling off my chair reading about the woman in the chimney, over a guy she met online and went on one date with. She went straight Santa on him. I hope that toe is feeling better, totally hurt me reading that!! And take your days off, you work hard and deserve them girl!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
