I am so psyched that it’s FRIDAY! 
I have an awesome weekend planned that includes lots of R & R, spending time with friends, and absolutely zero book writing. You see, I made a wonderful discovery about the first draft of my book: I’m just 7,000 words away from my 50,000-word goal! All of those 4:29 mornings definitely paid off! 
So, now I am taking a little break from writing (at least until Monday) to de-stress, unwind, and come back fresh to bust out the last 7,000 words. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders!
Lunch
Today’s lunch started with a homemade salad of spring mix, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and sliced almonds.
And then some plain Chobani with Uncle Sam cereal.
And, finally, a JAZZ apple!
All together.
And, I didn’t forget about Cookie Friday. I’m thinking about enjoying some hot cocoa at work and then some Jer’s chocolates when I get home. I’m all about the chocolate today! 
Choose Your Color
Here’s a little Friday fun for y’all!
Erika sent me a link to this Flying Pug t-shirt yesterday, and as soon as I opened it, I knew that I needed this shirt in my life. It’s Murphy in cartoon form! Just look at the big pug lip! So, if you’re game, feel free to help me pick a Flying Pug T-shirt!

My plan for Friday night: Mal and I are showing our apartment to another couple, taking Murphy for a long walk, and meeting one of my favorite blog friends and her husband for drinks and appetizers.
Hooray for the weekend!!!

Well if you want it to be more “real” pug colored then I would say go with the creme but I love all things pink so I would go for the pink one. They are very cute! So glad the book is coming along well, have a great weekend!
Pink! Pink! Pink!
Enjoy your relaxing weekend!
that’s awesome that you’re so close to your goal! having the weekend to unwind will be so nice.
I love anything green, but I also love the pink, blue, and the heathered gray color. I say pick the one you know looks best on you!
Pink – always Pink!
Having said that – I think the green or the slate would look great with denim – if you were thinking of wearing it with jeans? Look forward to seeing which you choose!
I like the cream color…Murphy Color!
So glad you like the shirt
I’m so excited for the weekend!
Congrats on how far you have come with your book! I am the same way that I get a lot more done in the morning. You definitely deserve the break you are taking this weekend!
i love the grass green color, but maybe do slate to go with lots of stuff
so glad you’re so close to the 50,000 words!
I love the silver. Such a fun color for a graphic t-shirt.
And congrats on being so close to done with your first draft. Enjoy the mini break
The light blue is totally adorable, I love it!
) I’ve seen the Jazz apples at Russo’s but haven’t tried them, I’ll have to give them a shot!
I like green, so cute!
I’m drawn to the grass green one
As for writing-7,000 words is NOTHING (well comparatively speaking
)! Go you!!!! That is absolutely fabulous.
You’re right-hooray for weekends!!!
Blue! Congrats on your HUGE book progress! You definitely deserve the weekend off
I say baby blue!
Definitely blue… adorable!
I say go for the grass green – what a cute color!
And enjoy your weekend – I am planning to do the same – kicking back with friends!
Creme or green!
Good job writing so much – all your hard work and early mornings really paid off, and quickly too! Love the pug prints, that would make a great wall decoration.
Have a great night!!
Wow! Doesn’t it feel amazing when all of you hard work pays off? I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
What a pretty apple! I’m gonna say-Slate! I love that dark grey color.
YAY! for meeting your writing goals! I think you look good in dark colors so my vote is for the green or slate color.
I like the baby blue the best.
I haven’t seen those Jazz apples around – are they as good as honeycrisp?
You see so much happier already- enjoy your weekend off! and congrats on being so close to your goal.
Congrats on making such good progress…thats awesome!!

http://www.etsy.com just search pug on the site !
Wow! Great progress! Congratulations! You definitely deserve a weekend of R&R!
You are too cute. Looking forward to tonight! Adam and I were discussing Barbara Lynch last night at dinner and realized we’ve never been to ANY of her restaurants and are ashamed to call ourselves foodies. Must change that tonight!
Get the pink one. SO cute!!
I guess I am boring because I was going to go with white! haha…so typical of me!
Cute!! I say either Grass Green or Creme.
Have a blast tonight, yay for Friday!
congrats on your book goal! i hope you have a great weekend!
I like the pink tee.
that is really exciting that you are close to your word goal. Good for you Tina! I know all your hard work is going to pay off.
That shirt idea is adorable! What color did you decide on? And congrats on the book progress – impressive! You definitely deserve a weekend of relaxing.
I love the ash stripe one!!! Wow. I want a pug so bad. Everyone says I shouldn’t get one because they have SO MANY breathing issues. Is that true?
TGIF! I agree. Have fun tonight and a relaxing weekend!
That pug t-shirt is super cute!!!
Pink or Silver shows the pug the best. Some of the colors make the shirt look cheap. How about taking a picture of Murp and put it on a t-shirt yourself at the local photo store.
I like the blue!!
Yay for your book! Sounds like you’re going to have a great weekend. I love R&R weekends!
I like the blue pug shirt.
The pink is adorable!!
Can’t wait to read your book
Jers! I am addicted to the peanut butter bars. Sooo good!
I like the ash slate
Cute t-shirt! You must be so happy that you only have 7,000 word to go. That’s amazing! Enjoy your weekend!
I think Murphy would like the blue;)
It’s all about the pink pug for me
Congrats on the words!! You sure deserve a weekend off, enjoy it! Good luck with the apartment too
Good luck on being so close to the end of your first draft! What a great feeling!
LOVE Jazz apples!! And yay for almost being done with the 1st draft! That’s so exciting!
