I’ve decided to start spiking my morning coffee.
In my dreams…
This morning I’m on the earliest flight to Dallas…. and tonight I’m flying back on the last flight home. Shoot me now. But you didn’t come here to listen to me complain, did you?
Instead of having happy hour, let’s talk about happy things… because every massage week deserves a happy ending.
5 Happy Friday Thoughts
1. Calee designed my bangin’ new logo (you may have seen it here on my #WorkItOut feature). I cannot wait to begin rolling it out all over the place!
2. Kristina @ Spa Bettie tried out my TVP “Oatmeal” and loved it! It kind of made me feel like a rockstar since she is so brilliant in the kitchen. Check out her Chocolate Mint creation:
3. Playing with my food makes me happy. P28 Protein Bagel with peanut flour spread and a bacon face. Apple slice hair.
Yes, I’m 29, I live alone, and I amuse myself by making faces in my breakfast. #reachingnewlows
4. Last night I met up with Lee and Tina for sushi at Sushi House Hayakawa on Buford Highway (Atlanta’s ethnic food haven). It was all tasty, but my favorite was the spicy tuna roll pictured on the left.
Side note: everyone with Tina luck on her Half this weekend!
5. And the big announcement… I finally got my new car!!! It’s my first “space gray” car, but my 3rd BMW.
What can I say… I’m brand loyal.

Yay for sushi! I’m happy about my holiday party tonight. Bring on the wine… I mean, pleasant conversations with the hubby’s colleagues…
Laura says
Hahaha! Hope they had some quality stuff for you. 🙂
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Nice car! She’s beautiful! training clients until 7 and then it’s relaxation time all weekend. Maybe some Dave and Busters with the boys and some couch time watching Christmas movies!
Have a safe trip and a great weekend!
Danielle says

Have a lovely weekend Laura!
Laura says
Salmon is my favorite sushi! Hope yours was delish! 🙂
Allie says
Wowza to your new BMW!! My boyfriend had two BMW’s… a 325is (which he totaled .. with me in it haha not fun!) and then an M3. He loooooved his BMW’s so much. Probably too much 😉 but they are good cars! His younger siblings started driving and how his brother has a z3 (I think?) coupe and his sister has a 325is. …. I drive a Chevy s10… fun times :p
Laura says
Ouch! It’s a good thing they have a good safety rating. 🙂
Heather @ Better With Veggies says
Love the logo, and the car, and the sushi blend dinner (wish I could have joined you!). Happy Friday!!!
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says
Like Peter Pan says, “I won’t grow up!” Playing with your food and kiddie plates forever!!!!!!!
Dude. You are a P-I-M-P with that car.
Parita @ myinnershakti says
I think I’m going to make TVP oatmeal tomorrow morning! It looks so good.
And it’s Friday…need I say more?!!
Laura says
Did you do it?! I’m so excited to hear what you think!
Kat says
Congrats on the sweet new ride! 😉
Kristina says
nice car – I love it.
and be ready for more TVP from me – girlfriend, you have created a TVP monster? I.Cannot. Stop.
safe travels – Jason used to do this twice a week – up at 4 for the early jet and back on the late one same day – (company jet so he got to skip the airport shenanigans, but still…) long days for ALL of us. it’s FRIDAY, yay!
Laura says
I’m so excited to see what TVP creations you make! You are one of the most creative people I know. Maybe a #strangebutgood TVP combo? 😉
Kristina says
ha! you know, I’ll probably come up with one JUST FOR strange but good… 😉
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
The new logo is so fun!
Allie says
Space Gray! I want one just for the color name. Love the logo, love the car, love that you’re a rockstar, love that I’m not the only one that plays with my food. So shitty flight or no? I’m diggin’ your week recap.
RavieNomNoms says
I don’t know how many times I have said, “it is 5’oclock somewhere”. haha, that doesn’t make me a lush right? I love the new logo
Laura says
Lush? Never! 🙂
Amanda @ Romancing the Unusual says
Love your new car! I’m in the market for a new car and have been researching like crazy. I’m dreading a car payment, though! 😉
Laura says
What are you looking at? Payments are never fun… but new cars sure are. 🙂
Calee says
love the new car!! Is this a lease or an own? And did you man up and get a stick? (Mark wants to know of course). 🙂
Love the new logo. Actually, I’m more happy that YOU love it.
Laura says
Lease – I get to bored to own cars. 3 years and I need a new toy. 🙂 No stick… driving in ATL traffic with a manual es no bueno. (Sorry, Mark….)
You rock. The end.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Being the car junkie that I am, I just have to say very nice choice 😉 And I don’t play with my food so much anymore, but I remember making mountains and valleys in my mashed potatoes as a young kid, and then using peas and carrots to make forests and houses 😀
Laura says
Thanks! I’ve always been a car junkie myself. 🙂
I used to do that with the butter in my oatmeal! So. Much. Butter.
Linz @ Itz Linz says
hehe i love playing with my food and making it pretty!!
Ed says
Nice ride 😉 I like the silver i have to say
Laura says
Thanks! I’m really liking it – doesn’t’ show the dirt as much.
Alex @ therunwithin says
i seriously love your new logo, amazing!
Stacy @ Stacy Eats says
Love the new logo and the car!! Super exciting!
Safe travels today. 🙂
Michelle says
My food isn’t exciting enough to play with. Womp womp 🙁 Congrats on the new car! I too am pretty loyal once I find a brand of pretty much anything I like…Cars, vitamins, protein powders, jeans, shoes. As Martha Stewart says “It’s a good thing.”
The new logo = fab.
Laura says
I forgot about Martha’s “good thing.” This calls for a blog post! 🙂
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
Ooohh new car – always exciting!! Safe traveling!
Laura says
Wow- love the logo! She’s so talented. I especially love that there is a “weird but good” line on there. Yay for the new car, too!! Hope you survive the travel day- sounds pretty awful.
Laura says
She really is! Calee’s working on a blogger logo monopoly. 🙂
Hannah says
Your logo is incredible. I love it in all the ways.
Lisa says
The logo looks amazing! I didn’t know you were 29, you look so young! I thought you were my age ha ha. Yay for new cars, I love the bmw too. I can’t see myself going with another brand! I haven’t played with my food in way too long, now I want to make a smiley face sandwich. We’re so cool;)
Laura says
I know, I know…. I’m OLD. Bah.
Carol @ Lucky Zucca says
LOL I love you! That face is adorable. And I love the new blog logo. And I love all your other happy things. Yay Friday yayyyyy!! Call me tomorrow whenever you can and we’ll go get arepas!!!!!!!
Choc Chip Uru says
Loving that car my friend and you are too cute making food faces 🙂
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
Better yet, who doesn’t play with their food? And if not, what’s wrong with them? Love the new logo and multiple hair colors (mine changes with the seasons) and congrats on the new car. I’d say my happy ending is being done with the work week, except I brought a ton of work home with me for the weekend, so my happy ending would not be traveling to Dallas and back in a single day. Man, that’s rough. I feel for ya.
Laura says
I like the way you think!
I have seasonal hair too. Dark in the winter, blond-ish in the summer. It s a rule like no white after Labor Day. 😉
Nadiya says
Woah! Lovely car 😛 I kind of have a thing for BMWs too, maybe I’ll have one one day ^^ I think I’ll pick up some TVP next time I’m at Whole Foods… your TVP oatmeal has been tempting m for too long 😛
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables says
Love the new logo and congrats on the new car!! I love it!!!
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli says
Aww, thanks for the birthday shout out…even though I suck and am only JUST NOW seeing this! Haha! Love the new wheels! Does she have a name yet? You know you HAVE to name her! Oh, and your bagel breakfast…Wilson…totally WILSON! Lol
Laura says
I thought Wilson too! I can’t believe no one else called it out. 🙂
Jed Gray (sportsglutton) says
Oh…this Bavarian man is very happy to see that your new car is something from my Motor Werks. 🙂
