Friday Five.

ONE | I just saw this article about Chick-fil-A having cheese sauce, mac and cheese, and brownies — what?! I want to try all of these.

TWO | Mr. Heid and I have gotten a few things done in our house lately! We scored a super nice mid-century bedroom set at an estate sale, which allowed us to move some furniture (albeit mismatched) into the guest room. We also bought an inexpensive bed frame for the guest bed to finally get it off of the floor.

We found a cheap fridge via Facebook Marketplace — it was a little horrific, but it cleaned up beautifully. It’s now in our bar area and serves as our beer/wine fridge! We plan to give it a few coats of chalk paint and new hardware and make one side of it a kegerator.

For the living room, we purchased couch covers so that they’d finally match (because a new couch is too expensive right now). We also hung three things on our walls - a bulletin board and dry-erase board in the office and a vintage metal butcher sign in the kitchen.

And finally, we thrifted some frames from several places. Are they filled and hanging on the walls, you ask? Let’s not talk about that…

Our whole house needs work, but progress is progress!

THREE | Cookie Monster hosted an AMA and it’s precious! quick glimpse | full thread

FOUR | Let’s talk television for a minute. Mr. Heid and I finally got back around to Man in the High Castle — holy cow what a ride! We definitely had to re-watch two episodes just to make sense of where we’d left off. *SPOILERS* I so so so wanted Joe to be good… maybe simply because he’s so handsome? I know they’re talking about different realms so perhaps he is good in another one, but I was sincerely hoping he’d pull through for this reality. Ugh. And it may be a long shot, but I’m hoping John Smith makes a big turn for the good. *END SPOILERS* I also just read that this next season will be the last. I hate to see it end, but I respect shows ending before they become bad *cough* Walking Dead *cough*

Then we discovered Netflix’s adaptation of The Umbrella Academy and were immediately sucked in. We watched the first few episodes on Sunday after I got home from our first event of the season and then we finished it Monday. So. freakin. good. I cannot say enough good things, so I won’t even try. If you’ve seen it, you should check out this article. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it and then come speculate with me as to what happens next!

A few weekends ago, we also binge watched Agatha Christie’s The ABC Murders (January presented a solid down-time for us haha). Rupert Grint plays the new inspector and Mr. Heid could not see that he was the same actor who played Ron Weasley — I die. But speaking of Harry Potter actors, I have high hopes for TBS’s Miracle Workers.

FIVE | Hoooow do I get tickets to Beetlejuice: The Musical?!

Cheers to the weekend! I could use some relaxation, sunshine, tacos and a good cup of chai. I hope your soul gets whatever it is that you need!
