Friday Fun – Page 3 – Z Life Homestead

It’s Friday, It’s Friday!!! Yea Yea, Yea Yea! It’s Friday, It’s Friday!!! Yea Yea, Yea Yea.

Go ahead you know you want to.

Nobody’s looking. Do it. Sing with me.

It’s Friday, It’s Friday!!! Yea Yea, Yea Yea!!

Thank you, I feel much better now, knowing I’m part of your day. FA-REAKY! 🙂

Don’t forget to “spring forward” this weekend. Set your clocks forward an hour on Saturday before you go to bed. Yep, spring is on the way! YYYAAAYYY

OK, there are some things in this world that I like. But there are some things in this world that I (honestly) consider as must haves! Anyone who knows me will agree that I love my…..

Yes, I love my lipstick and chapstick! These are just the ones I have right now in my purse. I can’t stand dry lips!!!! I feel like I can’t talk without my lipstick on. And, I’m sure sometimes the Zman wishes he could hide them all from me for that very reason. Which is exactly why I keep them stashed around the house, car, and my purse.

And, I’ll also share with you that I love big hair. Yep, I love big hair and I can not lie…. (got you singing again didn’t I) 🙂

Lipstick and big hair. Yep, those are two of my favorite things.

What? C’mon ladies, we should NOT blend in with the woodwork! We are BEAUTIFUL!!!

So, pull out your lipstick and hairspray and rock the big hair and hot lips this weekend! Be proud of it. Be confident. Be BEAUTIFUL!!!

I hope you have a Fun Friday and a lovely weekend!

P.S. You know what this means, right? Another one of my favorite things…

That’s right… homemade pizza and beer night with the Zman! Yea Yea!

Y’all take care!

It’s Friday, It’s Friday!!! Yea Yea, Yea Yea!! Yes, I am actually sitting here typing into words exactly the song that is coming out of my mouth. OK, so it’s a song only in my head, but still, it’s fun. I know you know it’s Friday, but go ahead and sing it with me. It’s Friday, It’s Friday!! Yea Yea, Yea Yea!! OK, I’ll stop.

I was thinking this morning about the process of quitting something, something like cigarettes, or cola, or biting your nails. (Notice I didn’t mention wine. Ha, Never!) The process of quitting isn’t actually ever really quitting. What we do is stop for today and hope that we are able to continue that into tomorrow, and the next day, and the next… We never really quit, because it’s a constant choice of what we choose to do. So, while I joke about Zman and me stopping smoking, believe me I know it is a big deal. It isn’t easy by any means. Cigarettes have been our friends for many years. They were always there for us, during the fun times, during the hard times, when ever we needed them they were right there just waiting for us. Always there, always loyal. It is very much like losing a friend, and it’s hard. Actually It sucks! (pardon the pun)

Zman has stopped cold turkey, and I have used the Nicoderm patch. We have growled at each other, dodged the threat of croutons being thrown at each other, and for about 2 weeks almost every meal I cooked ended up in the garbage and we ate sandwiches, salads and cereal. While I didn’t smoke in the house, I timed my cooking by my smoking. Pop something in the oven, go outside and have a smoke. So, yes it’s been hard and we are still keenly aware that we are in the early stages of stopping. But, that’s my point… we have stopped today, and pray to continue that tomorrow.

I am not a Doctor and I don’t play one on tv, but If you have any questions about stopping smoking, leave a comment and I’ll share my experiences with you. And, if you want to stop too, I’ll cheer you on and support you all the way, just like many of my dear friends have done for me.

I hope you have a Fun Friday and a lovely weekend!

P.S. Tonight is homemade pizza and beer night for me and Zman! 🙂

Y’all take care!
