Five on Friday


How did this week treat everyone? I'm sure you're thankful Friday is here as I am. I got hit with a 24-hour bug on Wednesday which sucked but thankfully I was able to work from home yesterday and keep quiet. I'm feeling much better already although not 100%. So lets just say I'm more than ready for the weekend to fully recover and relax. 

 A few other bloggers already pointed it out but Trader Joe's has outdone themselves this year with pumpkin any and everything you can think of. 


ONE:
I did fall victim to the pumpkin macarons from the frozen section because I've never tasted a macaron before and always see people raving about them. So I decided to treat my team (and myself of course) to some dessert and they were worth the calories! Very sweet though as I'm more of a savory person.  


TWO:
I also bought some of the cute mini pumpkins to decorate our dining room table for Fall. I just realized that I'll be in Barbados for Halloween this year so there's no need to carve a big pumpkin plus they don't last really long outdoors in the Florida heat.



THREE:
I celebrated my 5th work anniversary this week and received the sweetest card from one of my coworkers. You know who you are! She actually reminded me it was my anniversary since I forgot the actual date.


FOUR:
Work catered Chipotle for lunch on Wednesday since our team hit a major milestone with one of the services I'm responsible for marketing. Let's just say we've built the subscriber base to over 100,000 users in 3 years.


FIVE:
We also celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month at work with some Pink Ribbon Bagels from Panera for breakfast.

  21. Pumpkin everything!!! Our TJ's just opened Tuesday and I am too scared to venture over there right now. I will wait for the newness to wear off on these folks before I go pick up my old basics. Gosh I missed having one when I moved! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Those bugs suck! Have a great weekend!

  26. Welcome to the world of macarons. MY FAVORITE!!!!!! You can get them in so many cool flavors... I bet there's something savory out there for you!
    So cute that your co-worker gave you that card! Co-workers can totally make or break your work experience. Sounds like you have some good ones! :)

  27. I could not believe alllll of the pumpkin stuff at Trader Joes! It was kind of ridiculous but of course I had to try as many items as possible ;) Only one I didn't really like was their pumpkin soup!
