Friday morning traditions....

     I am in the process of transitioning to my first apartment.  It's a simple one bedroom, one bath and I am very excited. There will definitely be a blog about it once I move in, but that comes later.  For now I'm trying to embrace some serious budgeting.  This is a new concept for me as I've had the luxury of living rent free for the past several years. 
  Some luxuries that have had to change recently:
    -My frequent trips to Starbucks have now shifted to taking coffee from home. (tastes a little different...just saying)
    -My love of buying a new article of clothing or an accessory here or there. (Granted I have now replaced this with home decor shopping...until the funds run out.)
    -Buying random new music or songs on ITunes.

  Even though I'm cutting down on these indulgences, a girl can't just go cold turkey!  That's why I've included some room in my budget for things like my Friday morning traditions. 

  Starbucks is first on my Friday morning list:

I look at this stop almost like a reward for making it through the work week.  A delicious cup of Starbucks brew gives me that final push to make it to the weekend!

After arriving at my desk and sorting through the morning's emails these immediately go into my ears:



Friday's work load is inevitably stressful.  I'm not sure why last minute issues always seem to happen on Friday, but they do.  When that happens, I can pop in my headphones, push play, and have my favorite artists sing my troubles away. 

I love Fridays and I am weekly growing to love these simple traditions.  Even though it only consist of these two right now, I'm sure as time goes by I'll add some more. 

What weekly traditions do you have?  Or if you don't have any, what traditions would you like to start?
