About a year ago when I was commuting 40 miles south to Mission Viejo every day to a job that was in a less than positive environment, I started doing Fancy Coffee Friday. Instead of drinking the free coffee at work, I’d detour to the Starbucks on the way to the office, get a medium mocha with no whip cream on top, sigh, and pat myself on the back for making it through another week.

Now, a year later, I’ve kept that little ritual going. Except now I’m doing a job I love with zero commute (except for the occasional drive to L.A. for a meeting), and with the prego-ness I’ve made the temporary switch to Fancy Hot Chocolate Friday. It’s nice that the ritual has a happier tone to it now, a more “YAY it’s the weekend!!!” and less “Good god how am I going to do this again next week” feeling.

Do you have little weekly rituals like that, and what are they? Happy weekending everyone!

is it just me, or do short work weeks sometimes feel even longer than regular ones? the work day is over, the swollen prego cankles are propped up, and I’m about to catch up on this weeks episode of work of art while knitting while Josh sleeps off last nights work for a bit. life is good. have a great weekend folks!

That’s right, a weekend devoted to blowing things up and havin a beer or two means a celebration in Hearts and Laserbeams land, too! Take this opportunity to pick up some brand new original drawings for sale!

Coupon codes on Etsy are a little strange, but we’ll get through it together don’t you worry. Type KABOOM! in the “notes to seller” when you’re checking out, and don’t proceed to Paypal to pay! I’ll email you a revised invoice from Paypal that reflects your 20% discount.

If you use the coupon code,  get a little eager and do end up paying without the discount, rest assured I will send you a refund of that 20% off.

Hope you all have a great 4th! Anyone got exciting plans?
