Friday Five 09.Mar.13

Where did the last 2 weeks go? I just realized that I missed posting my Five word for Friday last week. I think I easily get distracted by pretty things. But here goes:

1. Nesting
2. Shopping
3. Scale
4. Mittens
5. Afghan

I've spending a LOT of time blog surfing to get some badly needed inspiration to finish up on the re-decoration of the main floor of our townhome. I know that I don't want everything storebought or new, even. Just new to us. I'm looking to combine the old and new, which means it's taking much longer to find things on our tight budget. One thing that I am working on is a Crocheted Granny Square Afghan. Will post that when I'm done.

My weekly weigh-in at the diet center did not go very well. I'm up .8 lb and this was not a total surprise considering the poor menu choices I've been making. So, I've been putting on my mittens, winter coat and boots, and heading out for walks with the DH and our four-legged child, Koko.

How has your week been? Anything new you'd like to share?

Friday Five 09.Feb.06

Welcome to the Friday Five!


Each Friday, I aim to post 5 words that describe my week. And I would love to see yours too. So, please, don't be shy and leave a comment with your Friday Five.


So, my 5 words this week are:

1. Nurse
2. Resistance
3. Date
4. Success
5. Cake

Nurse - That's what I played this week to my princess who had a very bad case of the sniffles that made her eyes red and her nose run like a tap. Poor thing was having trouble sleeping in the first half of the week.

Resistance - I was so proud of myself when I resisted the urge to buy some more home decor magazines, not once but 3 times this week. Resistance is not futile (any trekkies out there?)

Date - I was able to have a quick dinner date with my DH this week while the princess was at gymnastics and the prince at hockey practice. This doesn't happen nearly enough, but I'll take what I can get.

Success! - The princess is grudgingly learning to fall asleep without one of us in the room with her.

Cake - Birthday cake to be more specific. We are celebrating my nephew's special day tonight at his favourite burger joint Red Robin's. I am so looking forward to breaking my diet and enjoying a mushroom burger with fries. Totally chlolestoral laden, but I've been so good lately, I think I've earned this one.

Have you had a good or interesting week?

Friday Five

Once again, this post is late. I spent 2 days off work fighting a cold and could not summon the energy to think of my 5 words for Friday. So, although I'm tardy, here they are:

1. Ox - Monday was Chinese New Year's Day - the Year of the Ox
2. Hockey - My DS had a late hockey game on Tuesday and early basketball practic the next morning. This creates one tired mom.
3. Red - I have had the colour red on my mind lately. Since we are redecorating, we will be using black as our anchor colour and red for accent. So, I've been looking for budget conscious ways to incorporate it into our home.
4. Tissues - no explanation needed
5. Takeout - lots of takeout and delivery this week as I have not been able to deal with cooking.

Do you have 5 words to describe your week?

Friday Five

I know, I know, it's actually Saturday. But, in my defense, I was super busy at work yesterday and then went to dinner with Granny to celebrate Chinese New Year's (which was super delish).

So, my five words for Friday this week:

Lighter
Confrontation
Paper
Tea
Blinds


Lighter - I was down 2 lbs on Wed at my weekly weigh-in! Yay for me!

Confrontation - I had to confront the sales rep at budget blin*s about the lies he was telling us about our order. It had been 7 weeks since we placed the order.

Paper - I had a mountain of paperwork cross my desk this week. So glad I've caught up!

Tea - my new hot drink of choice, for the time being. I've been going through a phase of coffee not tasting as good as it should (shocking, I know!)

Blinds - VICTORY! I have blinds on my windows now! Will have to post the pics when I get a chance.

Now, what are your Five Words?

Friday Five

The new Virgin Radio station here in town was asking listeners to text or email 5 words that would describe their week. I thought it might be fun to do this each Friday.

Here are mine:

• Gymnastics
• Hockey
• Chauffeur
• Naked windows

Now, how about you? Please leave me your five words here, or send me a link if you post it on your own blog!
