Last week was a 2 day work week. This week was a 3 day work week (well, I guess it was technically a five day work week, but I’m not counting those two pesky days at home as actual work days, considering the amount of work I didn’t do.) and I am not complaining at all.
But I might be next week when I have to go into the office all five days. Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday-Friday… oh the nerve.
Let’s not think about that right now, though. It’s the freakin’ weekend and I’m ready to enjoy it.
This past week has been a good one. I started it off feeling really crappy on Monday, but it gradually got better and now I’m feeling like a whole new woman. Yay for small victories!
Now let’s move on to Friday Fours, shall we?
(We shall.)
I’m not gong to say I DID eat all of these Smarties, but I’m also not going to say I DIDN’T.

4 Favorite Things:
- Smarties. I don’t know what it is about this candy, but one little package is never enough.
- Above freezing temperatures. It’s felt like a freakin’ heatwave in Chitown over the past few days.
- Having a more calm schedule at work. (I even have the time to get on G-chat now!)
- Anthropologie candles.
4 Confessions:
- I really, really wanted to find a reason not to go to the gym yesterday (and having a good hair day was on the top of my list!) but I still trudged through the snow and went. I hadn’t gone since last Thursday, but I figure going occasionally is better than going never!
- I spell ‘occasionally’ wrong every single time. Why aren’t there two s’ in that word?!
- My voicemail has been at 95% full for MONTHS and I keep deleting the most recent voicemail instead of going through the entire phone and deleting them all. This is the only ‘inbox’ I have that I don’t keep at ‘actionable items only.’
- I don’t think I can do the veggie/fruit smoothie thing. I tried one from Jamba Juice the other day and I really thought it was going to kill me. It had beet juice in it and the Jamba Juice smoothie-maker person swore it was the sweetest one and he was either playing a joke on me or the other veggie/fruit smoothies are REALLY not sweet at all. But, after 3 hours of constantly sipping it, I dominated the smoothie, don’t you worry.

In closing notes….
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your ‘congratulations’ and excitement for our little (growing) family! The whole concept is a bit overwhelming at times and I probably won’t be writing too many pregnancy/baby posts (at least for quite a bit) but your kind words meant a lot to me! You guys are the very best!
I have some $5 sponsor spots open now, if you’re interested!
Feel free to follow along via Twitter and/or Instagram.
Cheers to a weekend of endless possibilities!
