Friday Top 5!

How does the time fly?  I cannot believe another week has passed and here we are, at the end of July.  What?!  Here we are at another Friday Top 5 post too!  Two weeks, going strong.  Let's get to it.

1. Eric Hutchinson, the new musical love of my life.  I LOVE music.  I am not musical - I can't play an instrument and I cannot sing (though I like to think I can in the shower, of course).  But I ADORE music.  And he's the newest addition to my ultimate faves, who include Jason Mraz, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, Jack Johnson and Matt Nathanson.  If they all played a concert together I would d-i-e.  In true Entertainment Weekly form, DOWNLOAD THIS --> "Oh!," "You've Got You," "All Over Now" and "Outside Villanova."  (Buy the album while you're at it, every song on there is amazing.)
2. People who pay it forward and help others out.  Because it's completely something I do when I can, hope to continue to do in the future, and something someone did for me this week in a very uplifting and "light at the end of the tunnel" sort of way.
3. Jersey Shore, which is in it's second season on MTV.  Quality, "crap" reality television.  I love shows I can turn on and not really pay attention to yet still follow their story line from hearing it as background noise (since I'm usually busy doing other things like editing photos and blogging).  Jersey Shore is that kind of show!  (I fundamentally disagree with the success of the characters but let's not go there.)
4. Cooking up a storm on a random night!  I made this Spinach and Red Chard Quiche (minus the "red" chard part because I could only find regular chard) and Curried Coconut Chicken.  YUMMMM! 
5. Scrapbooking.  I lose my mojo sometimes to scrapbook but I made a visit to my favorite local scrapbooking store last Saturday, Scrappy Boutique, and was re-energized!  I got a few papers and such on clearance (love the clearance section!) including a few sheets from the Cosmo Cricket line below.  I <3 crafts.

I have a busy weekend of baking, decorating cookies and editing lots of awesome photos ahead of me.  Have a WONDERFUL Friday!  (TGIF.)
