TGIF peeps. Thank goodness it is here. Ahhh, we bid January goodbye and good riddance. Oddly enough last Saturday was 60 some degrees and people came out of their hibernation like bears looking for honey. Yet, now, the next 4 days call for snow. I'm good with that as our sweet Daisy May turns 12 on Sunday and that doggie loves her some snow. Plus it just means another cozy weekend as before you know it, the busy hustle and bustle of the spring will arrive and we may miss these snuggly weekends. Enjoy loves!
1. My Boss was Elvis
Today is a sad day, my boss, who was not only a boss, but a brother and a friend is retiring. This guy worked for our company for three+ decades and I had the honor of working under him for 17 years. He loved to impersonate Elvis and often would for events like this company's picnic. Our place of employment used to be so fun and I often helped plan the shindigs. His leadership, friendship and grace will truly be missed.

2. This Quote
This has always been one of my favorite quotes. Yesterday I gave my retiring boss a journal with this very quote on the front. I think it sums up life perfectly. Live for those moments that take your breath away and don't let them pass you by.

4. Not Wearing a Coat
While I have many darling coats, sometimes you just don't want to wear one especially when it is 50 degrees and normal temps are suppose to be 20. Throw on a few layers, an infinity scarf and good to go for a Saturday casual day. However forecast indicates highs in the 20's the next several days so may pull the coats back out.

5. Egg Roll Bowls...A New Recipe
Sometimes you just need a new recipe to ease the Winter Blues. Enter Egg Roll in a Bowl. I found this on a fun cooking blog Called Buns in my Oven and made it on Wednesday night. Colorful, healthy and a fun twist on an egg roll.

Have a GREAT weekend friends. Snuggle up, watch what you love; get lost in reading, your man, your fam, or a recipe. No matter what, do what makes you smile!!

You always look so precious! I am with you with no coats! As cute as they are they can be a pain! HA
ReplyDeleteYour boss looks like he would be so much fun!
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
I am so cold natured that literally after the temp drops below 70 I must wear a coat. Isn't that depressing? I hope Daisy enjoys her snow. When good bosses retire or move on it really makes your heart ache. I caught on to that "work used to be fun" (paraphrased) I'm sorry girl - I know how that goes too. Enjoy your weekend and I am heavily eyeballing that recipe!!! xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to put away the big coats for lighter wear in Spring! That egg roll boll looks amazing!! And that picture of your boss is amazing, but girl look at you!! So so pretty! Happy weekend! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteIt's going to finally be cold here - in the 60's which is freezing to us Floridians! I don't own a winter coat so I'll be layering up too. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteLove that throwback picture of you with your boss! I have an uncle who used to impersonate Elvis!! And your egg roll bowl looks delicious! Have a great weekend!

Having a good boss seriously makes or breaks your work experience! That's so awesome you've enjoyed working for him so much! I hope it snows for you guys so you can enjoy it with your sweet pup! Happy Friday!

I just saw a recipe for egg rolls in a bowl and was thinking about making it for dinner next week. Sounds so good! And yes, it has been SO nice not wearing a coat. I even had the windows open at home on Wednesday because it was in the 60s! Unfortunately, it was cold this morning and they are saying flurries this afternoon?! I'm ready for spring! Have a great weekend, Andrea!

I'm am with you. Good riddance, January! Blah! I need a little sun to perk me up, this winter is dragging on. Oh well. There is hope and that 60 degree day reminded me that spring is coming. It has been nice having a few days where just throwing on a sweater was enough to run and errand or two. All of these are so cute! Have a superb weekend!
ReplyDeleteI always have a coat in the car, but I very seldom wear it. You are darling as the 50's girl! Hope you have a terrific, cozy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou always look so gorgeous! I'm sorry to hear that your boss is leaving. It's always so sad when great co-workers leave. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mix of emotions that your boss is retiring. I know I would be so happy for my boss, but also so sad to see him go. And goodbye January...Mama needs some sunshine! Hahaha! I would even take 30 degrees and just sunshine. I am ready to start the transition into spring :) February around here usually means the weather warms up between 30-40 and at least there is sunshine. Happy weekend beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've missed catching up with you girl!! Wishing you a great weekend! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI am ready to say goodbye to January also, but really the weather wasn't too bad. February is always worse. I love seeing what you wear! You have great taste!
ReplyDeleteAs always, you look positively adorable in all your cute outfits, Andrea. Love your style. Hopefully, you will get a boss that you will love as much as Elvis. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday and Happy Birthday to miss Daisy! Love that quote and of course all of your fabulous looks. Have the best weekend :) Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! That outfit is PERFECT and I love your fashion inspiration! We're having the same weather here. It was warm and rainy for weeks and winter returned overnight. I'm officially freezing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your boss is retiring. I can tell he's going to be missed. I love that quote-I have a print of it hanging on my wall.
Have a great weekend!
Send some of that snow down here to Louisiana so I can end my birthday month with a white BANG! Love that poodle skirt, Love! And now you got me wanting to listen to Elvis today while I'm at work!!
ReplyDeleteIts a blessing to have a good boss. Happy Retirement to him. Life is worth living to take that break after all the years put in.
ReplyDeleteWe were in the 50's all last week & I loved not wearing my heavy coat... which is back on today with snow back. UGH. It feels like its 100lbs on my back.
Happy Friday, Andrea!!! Loving your favorites this week. I wish we get some snow too! That quote is one of my favorites too and it's such a great reminder :). As usual, your style is amazing and you are so so fashionable in all of your outfits I hope you have a fun weekend! xo

I just heard about egg roll in a bowl yesterday! So funky, but on a serious note it looks to die for! I definitely want to make it. Ps, love the layered outfit with the red sweater, looks great. Happy weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI love all your layers and that recipe looks delicious! Even though it is bittersweet about your boss leaving, at least he is family so you know you will still see him. :) Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour boss looks like such an awesome person! How cute that you guys all used to dress up!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, good riddance to January!!

I'm getting antsy in the jacket department...totally ready to get rid of the parka.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a fabulous and fun boss to work for and for so many years! I'm sure he'll be missed. I adore the Saturday outfit with the infinity scarf. You know how to make layering look stylish and warm! I hope the weather is treating you better than expected! xx
ReplyDeleteI love that quote. Words to live by for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove your little tribute to your boss, so sweet! I love your outfit with the plaid scarf and purple and black wrap is so pretty! :-) I hope that you have a lovely weekend friend! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quote and such a thoughtful gift. It's a beautiful thing when we have a colleague in our life who becomes such a vital part of our work and "real" life. May he enjoy his much deserved retirement.
