Hello friends. Tonight is one of those nights where I pull the “it’s still Tuesday in Hawaii” card. I spent all day watching a Creative Live workshop, went to a movie screening, and then spent the last hour of the day helping my friend find her lost car (we never found it). But I’m here now. 5TT - let’s do this!

1  MY INTROVERT METER WAS IN THE DANGER ZONE - This past week I somehow overbooked myself with plans each night of the week. I literally did something every day and that’s not good for a natural-born introvert like me. Granted, I love quality time and I love being around people. But I was seriously like on the fritz at the end.

Birthday bowling, housewarming parties, two dinners with friends, meeting up at food trucks, dinners & dutch blitz … I mean, what was I thinking?! That’s the last time I go without me time for so long.  

Although - I had the BOMB Grilled Cheese Sandwich (made with Mac’n’cheese and BBQ pulled pork). The line was so long, but it was worth waiting an hour for it. So good. 

2  HOLE IN THE WALL & FATHER’S OFFICE - In the midst of my busy, busy week I was able to try out two more burger joints in hopes to find the BEST burger and sweet potato fries in Los Angeles. 

People have been raving about Father’s Office, so I finally went there and tried it. And my thoughts are: 1) You can’t make any substitutions. That’s stupid.  And 2) There’s a big ol’ chunk of blue cheese all over the burger. Not cool.

But I did go to Hole In The Wall with a few of my friends. And well, this one went right up to #1 on the list. It was SO GOOD. It’s super customizable. You get to choose what goes on it, what type of bun you want, what kind of meat you want. The meat was juicy and delicious. Two of us got it on a pretzel bun and it was the greatest combo of salty and sweet at the same time. So yeah. Best burgers in my book so far are Hole In The Wall and Plan Check.

3  A NEW SONS & DAUGHTERS CD COMING OUT SOON - Dude I’m totally getting this when it comes out. It will most likely be on repeat for a very long time.

4  ENGAGEMENT SEASON - My roommate just got engaged this past weekend and two of my good friends in Florida are now engaged as well. 

I love it. Yay marriage!

5  ENVELOPE SYSTEM - I officially went on the envelope system this past week and actually have stuck to it pretty well. Except for the fact that I blew most of my “eating out” money right away - best burgers and Grilled Cheese Truck!  C’mon - that’s a losing battle.  

But other than that, I’m doing pretty well sticking with my budget. Whatever is in that envelope, that’s what I’m spending on clothes, groceries, dining out, etc. Dave Ramsey would be proud.

What’s the word? Live like no one else so that you can live like no one else. Boom.

Ok bye. I think I may go to bed now. It’s 2 AM.
