5 things friday

Well, this week flew by.  I got back from New Orleans late Monday and the rest of the week was filled with catching up and staying up way too late watching the Olympics.


Can we just talk a minute about the Olympics?  I am a huge fan of the Olympics in general and an obsessive gymnastics fan.  I have been this way since I first caught the Olympics bug in 1992.  


The U.S. women's gymnastics team has been amazing.  They're so much fun to watch and as a team they have come such a long way since I first started paying attention to the sport.


Despite my love for the Olympics, I kind of feel like NBC is trying to kill me.  Why so late?  Every.Single.Night.  WHY?


Also, since we are not allowed to watch the NBC coverage until it is shown in prime time, do you think the news media outlets could keep it off their websites?  I have been avoiding social media and most of the internet, TV, and radio all week just so I don't hear the results of major events.


So, if I am dead from exhaustion next week, you will know why :).


And...5 thing for your Friday:


**I created a little Anthropologie inspired diy and love it!  Check out the simple instructions in my guest post on rouge and whimsy.

**Do you need help with Photoshop?  If so, you're in luck because I wrote a beginners' Photoshop e-book with the help of Yellow Heart Art.   The hilarious Erin {at Living in Yellow} has a little to say about out e-book and a special discount!


**Have you seen the new {Acute} shop?  You can still get 20% off through the weekend with the code NEWSHOP20.


**I love these blogging tips from Anna at In Honor of Design.  Her blog is one of my favorites and she nailed it with her tips on how to boost your blog.


**Guacamole three ways...need I say more?
