humpday happy list.
they're baaaack! oh and i know you've just been waiting for these little humpday posts to come back. don't pretend you haven't been. (okay, you probably haven't been waiting, but just let me pretend for a bit.)i hope you enjoy my little happiness list on this hot wednesday. i've missed looking for inspiration throughout the month, and good thing i'm picking it back up again, because i have a feeling that i am going to need some inspiration over the next few months. i just got a GIGANTIC project assigned to me at work, and although i'm very excited about it and the opportunities it's going to bring, i'm also freaking the bleep out.here's to it being the wednesday before labor day, and all the fun to come this weekend. let me know what's been inspiring you/keeping you going this month!

1) humpday craftiness: rain drawings.i saw this on (where else?) pinterest the other day, and now i cannot.stop.thinking about it! wouldn't this be a fun thing to do on the sidewalk in front of your house, as a little surprise for the mailman when it's raining (or anyone really)? now i just need to convince Mister Man that this is a good idea too.
2) humpday hairstyle: topknot, topknot, topknot. also a topknot.this weather makes me want to strip naked and lay on the concrete floor in my basement. but since i have a full-time job and also that is not socially acceptable, i settle for piling my mane on top of my head in a topknot. there are bobby pins scattered around the house, in all my pockets and bags, if that's any indication of how often this has been happening. in other news, i need a haircut.
3) humpday gift idea: gifts in jars.at the bridal shower for my friend kari the other day, one of the guests, who happens to be a coworker of mine (as well as a fabulous blogger), brought two jars that looked like this one, full of household necessities like sponges, dish towels, COFFEE, etc. when i saw them, i had two thoughts: 1) i wanted to steal them for myself, and 2) i wanted to steal them and take them home for myself. as someone who is always at target last minute for shower gifts, and never has wrapping paper on hand, this solves many, many problems.
4) humpday recipe: infused olive oil.i love me some infusing. simple syrup, alcohol, sugar, give me something to infuse and i'll do it. nothing is off-limits, including bacon vodka. so when i saw this little post on a beautiful mess, i got really excited. it's always nice to have some inspiration for simple tricks to make your cooking feel super extra-special fancy. i will be trying this as the fall starts rolling in.
5) humpday cocktail: beergarita.specifically this pineapple beergarita from my friend trisha. you already know that she is amazing at whipping up delicious cocktails from our thirsty thursday series in july, but this one...i have not been able to stop thinking about this one. last year for labor day at the cabin, i put myself in charge of bringing the ingredients for a fun cocktail (that should surprise no one, unless you're new here, in which case, welcome!). it was a hit, and so i'm thinking i should keep up the tradition and bring the ingredients for this baby up there this weekend. methinks it would put me in the running for most popular person at the cabin, right?
