GAH! I cannot believe this is the LAST Friday Five....
1. Viggle
I downloaded this app some time ago but it was not until some friends on Twitter filled me in last week that I finally figured out how to rack up points. Every time you watch TV you can "Check-In" and start gaining Viggle points. You earn one point for every minute of TV you watch and points can be redeemed for gift cards. It takes 9,000 to get a Starbucks gift card, but you can easily gain that in just a week. Some shows have bonus points so you gain an additional amount of points on top of those you earn for the minutes you spend watching and there are numerous other ways to gain even more points.
2. International Delights Iced Coffee
Life of Megan introduced me to this AMAZING treat and I feel like a changed woman! The iced coffee is available in three flavors. I have tried the mocha and vanilla both of which I LOVE. This sweet so I "coffee" mine down with some real coffee and then add ice. It is the perfect pick-me-up and at $3.50 a carton I get 6 cups worth of iced coffee for the price of one at a chain!
3. San Pellegrino
A few weeks ago I noticed that their were new flavors of San Pellegrino sparkling fruit beverages. The limonata was a long time favorite, but blood orange and grapefruit might soon take the cake. They are delicious and so refreshing in the Texas heat!
4. Tinsley Mortimer's Southern Charm
I had the most delightful time at Tinsley Mortimer's book signing last Friday. There was a complete candy buffet, delicious drinks and each guest was also gifted a copy of Southern Charm which Tinsley graciously signed for us all. I cannot wait to start reading this poolside this weekend!
5. Golf and the Byron Nelson
Last Saturday, I spent the day at the Byron Nelson Classic. Well, by the day I mean just over three hours because the heat starts to get to you in May in Texas. Anyhow, even during my shorter stint I got to see all the big golfers I came for. Phil Mickelson was great, Ernie Els is always a good one and I loved watching James Driscoll play since he went to Taft. It was a fun way to spend the morning and I hope I get lucky enough to attend next year too!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend and do not forget to enter the SpunSugarPaperie giveaway (you all are crazy for not entering to win an original work of art!!!)!

I'm up to 26,000 points on viggle, I love it. But it does make me realize that I watch WAY too much TV!

Oh, this is sad Hopsy! I shall miss your FF's! Iced coffee has replaced sweet tea as my lifeline outside of the Lord.

You always seem to go to the most fun events! I'm jealous you got to see so many great golfers live in action!

I'm so sad this is the last friday five :( Hope you have a great long weekend love!
I love this, except for the earning points for tv thing. I don't need an incentive for that. Ha! I actually gave up watching television four or five months ago to write, and it has been amazing. It was hard at first, but I don't even miss it now. And the best part: MY NOVEL IS DONE. Well, not entirely, but at least it's complete after two years. I just realized how much of my life I was wasting, not just in time, but in energy caring about stuff that is completely irrelevant to me. It's been interesting.
That coffee stuff loos LEGIT. I'm going to have to stock up on some of those for the office. Thanks for sharing!
Also - love golf tournaments. I'm actually headed to one next month in Minnesota, so any suggestions on hairstyles that work with humidity are appreciated.
Sad this is the last one - but some good stuff here.
I shall miss your FFs and recommendations, Hopsy, but respect your decision to take a break from blogging.
Wishing you the best, always.
