Friday Five

Do tell me ... what's more exciting than waking up and realizing that it's Friday?!

I'm feeling a little better from this crazy walking pneumonia ... still coughing a lot but the doctor assured me that a lingering cough is very normal.  In fact, it normally sticks around for 8-12 weeks.  Up to three months, people!  That's no joke.

Five things I'm loving this Friday:

{1} Furman Football
This weekend I get to watch my alma mater take on Appalachian State!  It's been two years since I last saw my team play, and I'm excited to put on my purple and cheer for the Paladins.  Go FU!

{2} Ebates
I've already waxed poetic about Ebates, and I'll do it again.  Ya'll.  I just received my last quarter Ebates payment.  For those three months, I received $84.16 back!  It was deposited directly into my Paypal account -- could not be more simple.  This time around, I made purchases online at Best Buy, Teleflora, and Walmart.  If you plan to do any of your holiday shopping online, if you are ordering flowers for a friend, if you have a large purchase for your home (say, new rug or TV), you should definitely check first to see if you can go through Ebates.  If you haven't yet joined, here's a link.

{3} Fall Outfits
As much as I huffed and puffed over putting away my white jeans and colorful Lilly tops for the season, I've been getting a real kick out of putting together fall outfits.  Now if I could just find a coat like this one, my life would be complete...

{4} Jewelry Nights 
I've spent many nights this week at the jewelry table, which is so calming to me.  Or maybe it's the cabernet.  Regardless, look for many more additions to my A. Liz Designs Etsy shop soon.

Fuschia and Golden Yellow Necklace, $48

{5} This Mantra
And I'm happy to say that I get to spend my weekend with a girlfriend who truly embodies this.
