Fri-Diary: Back In The Saddle Again!

Oh hey!

Its finally Friday!! Its been a glorious day off.  I was able to finish up laundry, clean my room, catch up with a friend over lunch and drinks and finishing off the night with a relaxing night of Netflix & margs (actually leftover Razz-ber-itas from the playoff game last week lol).

This week was a stressful first week back of the new year!  I had 5 days off for the holiday and jumped back in with lots of reporting and paperwork to finish before I left for the day yesterday.  So, today was a welcome day off :)

I have really loved writing the blog posts again this week and I can't wait to see what happens as I continue on this journey!  I am going to try to (may regret this later) post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  My Friday posts will sort of be a diary of my last week; aptly named "Fri-Diary."

I decided on Monday that I wanted to get back into blogging again.  I really enjoyed this when I was doing it a year ago.  I think it is a really therapeutic outlet for me!  I also like that accountability that comes with stating something publicly *ahem- #100byvday* and then having to follow through.  So, make sure to find me on Facebook, Insta or Twitter and rag on me if I'm not doing what I'm supposed to!

Snow decided to ruin my day on Tuesday!!  I went to bed on Monday laughing at my friend Megan who was praying for snow and wearing her pajamas inside out in hopes of the white fluffy stuff.  I woke up on Tuesday cursing her!  Apparently I was living under a rock and didn't realize it was supposed to snow.  Low and behold I woke up and there were inches of it on the ground and it took me over an hour to get to work instead of my normal 15 mins.

Tuesday also brought one of my favorite ever work stories.  We had a random delivery of lamb kabobs (12 plates actually) and we were told that they were from some advertising guy.  Well, thank you, advertising guy!  So, we all ate our lamb and it was delicious!  Then about 20 mins later a group of residents came looking for their package and when I finally got through the language barrier we found out they were looking for their delivery-- of food!!! OMG we ate someone else's food!  We gave them the seven remaining plates and said sorry, but the woman who delivered them didn't know what was going on... oops!

My Tuesday morning commute down Rt. 32

Challenge Wednesday?  Sure, why not!  I have been following the YouTube Channel for the Tone It Up! girls and thought-- "I could do that!"  So, wish me luck!  I am not starting off the best, but I am going to do it!  I am going to finish this blog and head down to the gym right now!  Keep your eyes out for a gym pic ;)

Thursday was a busy day at work and I was happy to see it end.  Also- Parenthood returned to tv.  I can't handle this show!! Its the final season and someone is supposed to die-- come on!  This is too stressful!  There are only three more episodes of the series and I am going to sob like a baby!

Today was a fabulous day!  Like I mentioned, I got to hang out and catch up on domestic duties!  I have gotten way better at my laundry!  I don't know if I've ever mentioned that I have a shopping problem, but I realized just how much clothing I had when I moved.  It's insane!  I used to wait to do my laundry until I ran out of underwear-- yes, I could wait that long and not repeat an outfit!  But, I have been really good in the new place and have kept up with it!  Nana should be proud!  So, three loads later and my laundry is done!  My room is finally in order and decorated the way I want it!  AND I got to hang out with the handsome Hunter Evans ;)

Apparently I look like my mother in this...

I will be celebrating my friend Kate's birthday with her this weekend and I can't wait!  Hope everyone has a great one!
