A play on Oh No They Didn’t’s “Free For All Fridays,” every Friday is Free For Haul Fridays! Friday is a day for fun — whether you’re already off enjoying your weekend or if you just need a way to get through til the end of the work day, FFH is here for you!

Share your latest beauty hauls! Once you’ve done that… say anything you’d like. Tell us about the greatest thing that happened to you this week, why your pet is the cutest, what you’re doing this weekend… whatever!

First, I’ll share mine!

Haul: For the boy’s birthday, I treated him to a massage (at a SPA!)… which also meant that I got to tag along (at my expense, though!) – so I suppose that should count as a haul!

Excited for: Celebrating the boy’s birthday again when his family comes to visit, plus celebrate my sister and the boy’s birthday with my family, too.  Yes, having your boyfriend’s birthday be a day after your sister makes for a very busy week!

Friday plans: I kept thinking it was Friday all day yesterday!  I gotta clean-up for visitors, which will not be fun.  I’m sure I will find beauty products in places I won’t understand at all.

This week’s Mellan photo…

I was reading a friend’s dog blog, and somehow… I ended up buying three or four things that she had reviewed for Mellan. Go figure. One of them was this stuffing-free raccoon. Which he wasn’t that enthused about. But maybe that’s just because he wasn’t able to swing it around and beat himself with it!  (Seriously, him with a tug rope is like him playing drums on his big barrel of a chest.)

I just wanna be friends…

What’s this on the floor? MMM!

I got him wrapped around my paw!
