HELLO! Have you let out a big breath yet? It’s the weekend!

After work I went over to a friend’s parent’s house to chat and pick up a little somethin’ somethin’. You see, this friend of mine recently got engaged and the way she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding was with this GORGEOUS wine glass!

She actually asked me via a picture of the wine glass in an email that I opened over the phone with her, since she lives in Minnesota, but her Mom was visiting her last weekend and brought it back so I could see it in person. It’s GORGE!!

My friend gave the artist a picture of us bridesmaids which she used to custom paint a girl on each glass to look just like us.

See the resemblance?!

HA! (ignore the open dishwasher in the background…)

The inside says "refill A.S.A.P." Love it.

My friend and I have known each other since Jr. High, and have been involved in way too many embarrassing shenanigans together.

Shenanigans like being on a synchronized swimming team, watching countless hours of Alex Mac in her basement, playing Mario Cart until our thumbs hurt, dressing up as the Spice Girls for Halloween…both as Scary Spice…, eating Cheetos ’til our thumbs were permanently orange, and forming a club for banana cream pie, beef & cheese nachos and floppy hats…

Yep…she’s one of those friends. The ones you’ll have forever and will forever have the fondest memories of. I can’t WAIT to be a part of her big day!!!

While I was over visiting with her Mom, we sipped on some tea and snacked on these freshly baked Power Cookies.

Power Cookies because they’ve got every healthy ingredient under the SUN in them – protein powder, flaxseed meal, nuts, oats, whole wheat flour – yet they’re insanely moist! I’m going to try and get the recipe…I’ll be sure to fill you in if I do.

I actually stuffed myself with these babies, so I’m not ready for dinner quite yet. When I am, I’m sure it will be filled with LOTS of veggies. I’ve got a big bag of broccoli in the fridge that’s got my name written ALL over it!

Have a great night guys!

Were you and your friends as dorky as me and mine were?
