What's Good Wednesday

Okay, So I'm surrounded by negativity this week, and I'm trying REAAAAAAAALLY hard to be positive.

So, I thought you ladies could help me out on What's Good Wednesday :) List 5 things that are good about today, life in general - just good stuffs.

AAAAAND, Go

Re: What's Good Wednesday

  • 1. I'm halfway done with the work week.
    2. The last of FI birthday presents should come today.
    3. I will have my first swim since my 70.3 on the 15th due to getting sick, I had my first run last night of 5 miles.
    4. My nose seems to finally be stopping its constant running.
    5. My daughter, FI, and kitty gave me loves this morning.

  • 1. Audiobooks. Audiobooks are good for listening to as I drive to and from work.
    2. Income. Income is good to have to spend on all the things life throws at me.
    3. Discounts. Discounts on lunch because you are an employee some where are good.
    4. Weddings. Weddings are fun to attend especially the one I am anticipating this weekend.
    5. Pencils. I just love writing in pencil. Standard or mechanical. My handwriting rocks in pencil and I just like the way it feels to write with.
  • I suppose I should answer these, as well, huh? lol

    1. Boots - My legs look awesome in boots - Plus my brown Guess boots frickin rock :)
    2. Friends - I have some of the best friends, the ones that listen when I b!tch, laugh with/at me, and don't ever let me take myself too seriously
    3. FI - even though there are days when he drives me insane - i couldn't ask for a better partner in this crazy life of mine
    4. McDonald's Sweet Tea - just the caffeine I need to get me through work
    5. Professor M - Man, Mahoney is just awesome. She is always available when I need her regarding this dumb project, and backs me up when group members are being A-holes.

    I love the lists ladies, keep them coming! :)
  • 1. The week half way over.
    2. Got some more information on the house we are interested in and the information looks pretty good.
    3. I have no where to be after work tonight
    4. American Horror Story is on tonight
    5. BF doesn't have anywhere to be after work either

  • 1) This doesn't help you, but - I weighed myself last night even though I was SURE I'd be up a few lbs, and I was down half a pound! Woohoo! I'm basically losing only a 1/2 lb. per week, but I'll take it!

    2) It's almost holiday time! I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but once we get that out of the way we can look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas or Hannukah or whatever else you celebrate! I loooove that time of year (before I get too sick of winter), where it's exciting and there are X-mas songs playing in every store, and you get excited every time it snows.

    3) It's almost time for the election which means - we're almost done with election coverage. Yes!

    4)No more worries about getting a tan or looking good in a bikini - it is officially sweater/sweatshirt season. 

    5) Again, this doesn't help you, but I get to pick up my puppy in.... 17 days!!

    4. Dinner - we're having spaghetti squash carbonara.  I'm so excited.

  • 1. I am back down to the weight i was pre-marathon!
    2. I finally get to see FI after only seeing him for an hour the last three days.
    3. I asked my MOH (please don't side eye me) and she was so freaking excited!
    4. I got a second job working at BWW and I think it will be fun and good money.
    5. I stopped and got a Skinny Vanilla Latte from Starbucks on my way to work, yum!

     

  • 1) I feel super hot (and slightly thinner) today. Probably haven't actually lost any weight but my outfit makes me feel like a thousand bucks.
    2) I have a great weekend planned with el senor. Two halloween parties (one is a concert) to go to this weekend, and I have the BEST costume planned...just have to build it.
    3) Only 2.5 more weeks till the G2G in NJ!! Can't wait to see my women!
    4) I'm getting back on the 100% eating healthy (SBD) plan and el senor and I have planned to get up early and work out together every morning. I love that he supports me and motivates me.
    5) Getting closer and closer to finding our place and moving a little further west of where we are now...putting us closer to the barn. I'm also going to be looking for new jobs out that way, so that's very exciting for me!

  • 1. Aldi's Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese- Its rocking my world this morning, like having a pumpkin pie on my whole wheat bagel. (Plus, Adli's in general is pretty sweet, did you know its owned by the same people who own Trader Joe's? A lot of the products are the same, just repacked and much cheaper. Been shopping there for a few weeks and so far I've liked every thing I've tried)

    2. I have an interview a week from tomorrow!! It would be a great opportunity, and right up my alley. Fingers crossed!

    3. Its sunny! Its supposed to be sunny and in the 70's the next few days. Yay!

    4. Hawaii in 36 days!! FI and I are so excited, even if its a shorter trip then we would have liked, we're planning on making the most of it. Even if that means ditching his family for a few hours (or a whole day!)

    5. All the other good stuff FI and I have going on- the new house (hopefully, still waiting on bank approval of the short sale); the wedding; having kids. It feels like for 9 years we were building this great foundation, an now its all coming together!!

    3) My BF is finally on board having a gas fireplace installed in our living room so this weekend we are going to a showroom to check some out.  This is going to be a Christmas gift from my parents, so I'm excited!!!

    4) My fur baby gave me lots of love this morning!

    5) Having wifi in my office is awesome, my productivity has skyrocketed.  I'm two days ahead of my work!

    Oh and the work week is half over!  :)

    Aldi's is awesome, I've cut my food bill in half (at least!) Couple of things to know- bring a quater- you have to 'rent' your cart w/ it; Bring your own bags, or you can buy them there; They do take debit cards; The Winking Owl wine they sell is Ok for drinking, great for cooking; produce it actually really great.

    I love Aldi's!  I always do the majority of my shopping there, BF is a little apprehensive buying meat from there though lol.  I also love that it's a small grocery store so you are in and out with no problem!

    You are always pretty.

    Do you know any more about the move? I haven't heard anything since you first found out.
  • Tiger - YAY for cleaning out garage, and you are always pretty!'

    Mel - I thought so. I'm really bummed since yesterday I lost my favorite Puma jacket at school yesterday (it fell out of my purse) and I don't have high hopes of it being turned in to lost and found. And there's just a lot of negativity flying around my world lately, I thought that this would be a good pick-me-up for everyone. Just try and realize the little things in life that make us happy. :)
