Five on Friday

Happy Friday, Friends! I am really hoping to pound out a few blog posts this weekend, including about our Christmas and NY :) It seems that weeks just fly by. I seem to be out a fair bit in the evenings during the week, and I am "behind" in watching TV, reading (mags, books, etc), and doing household cleaning. Not to mention, blogging!!! Anyway...this week went incredibly fast. Today, however, was the LONGEST.DAY.EVER! It was a good day, but a long day! Here are some of my faves from the week:

1) I got a purse for under $20 at Wal-Mart the other day. I have been wanting to get a new one for awhile now, as my last one was ugly. I found this really nice black one. I know it's not summery, but I will try to find a lighter one in a month or two.

2) I actually got Anker out of the house on Sunday! We went to my brother's small bday party at their house, and it was a nice time. And the cake was delish!

3) I was gifted a Smart Multi-Cooker from someone on Thursday. I have no clue who it is, but it is obviously someone who knew that I wanted one! I cannot wait to try it out!

4)  On Monday, all the staff were gifted a few little goodies from our PAC (I think it's similar to a PTA). I got a little prayer box with some paper and a pencil, and a magnet.

5) I am thankful for amazing friends and family in our lives. Anker was cut off from his PWD this month, due to my making too much money last year (since they take money that I made from the previous month, as info for the next month's cheque, and last month was December, thus it contributed to our making too much in 2017). We had no idea on what we were going to do. People have been helping us in all kinds of ways, and we are feeling blessed.

That's all for this week!

Randoms/Weekly Wrap Up:

I am happy to see Friday again, friends!!! I will say, that this week went by much faster than last week! Here are some randoms from the week:

Monday: I think I ran some errands after school. I came home and we had dinner, and I hung out for awhile. I felt like going out for a bit, so I went to my friends for an hour. I think I went to the library after school.

Tuesday: After school, I went and had coffee with my new friend from church, then I went to the dollar store and I came home for a little while. Anker had had a bad day that day, so I was glad that I wasn't around to witness it. I had had plans to go to a Tupperware event, but I didn't feel like going. I ended up going to the library, and then going on a late night grocery shopping run!

Wednesday: I took my friend to her mom's place (which is in the same complex as ours), and we ended up visiting for a bit. I think we had spaghetti, and then I went to Worship and Prayer night at our church. I went to the library, and then came home. I was in bed by 10.

Thursday: Same said friend and I went out for coffee, where we talked for over two hours! We had a great visit. Anker and I had fish and chips for supper. I got caught up on This is Us, and then I went out to join the Y, and then to the library. I came home and was in bed at 9:20.

Friday: I went to the library, and then ran some errands. I did a load of laundry, and then did a Tupperware order, while I caught up on Y&R. I also did my Loose Leaf Tea Project.

                                                I was mugged at school today!!!

I hope you all had a super week, too!!

Five on Friday

1) Joining a Gym
Well, I actually joined a gym (yet again!). This is the third time that I have joined a gym in my life, and the first time since being in Kamloops. I joined the Y, b/c it is close to where I work, and they give back to their community. I also can join for $20 a month.

2) Home Improvement Shows

I have gotten into Home Improvement Shows the last week or so. I love them!!! Right now, I am into Restored by The Ford's and Fixer Upper.

3) New/Old Sitcoms

I am wanting a new sitcom to watch, so I have taken Mike and Molly out of the library. I also started watching Last Man Standing on NF at my brother's the other day. I really like it.

4) New Goals

Well, not really, but this makes me look like I am mature, so I will stick this in. I do have a few goals that I would like to accomplish this year. One is that I would like to start (even more) putting money away for things (savings, car, etc). I did pretty well the last part of last year, which I have to admit was pretty proud of myself. I also want to try to read more Christian books. Yah, that hasn't yet, but I will settle for reading the Bible more, and for really listening to God, praying more, etc. I also want to crush/slay my Tupperware goals, which is staying an active consultant for the full year. I would like to do a party a week, but I don't think that that will happen.

5)  Dollar Store DIY Project

I have way too much loose leaf tea in my cupboard, and it was driving me mad! I was trying to find tins to put them in, but I couldn't find any, so I ended up using jars, and some plastic containers. I think this idea was better!! I found these cute jars at our local dollar store tonight, and they worked out well. I should have rearranged them better for the picture, but I will do a better job when I get more jars (I need more) in the next day or so.

Five on Friday/Weekend Wrap Up

I have been meaning to blog all weekend, about the FoF, and for much longer about our Christmas and New Year's. I hope to do a few more posts this week sometime. But for now, here are my Fives from the last week.

1) New PJ's

I used to buy PJ's ALL.THE.TIME years back...like a pair every week. I still love new PJ's, but they have gone up in price, and I end up buying other things. I bought new PJ's, from..where else?-Wal-Mart the other day, and I LOVE THEM!!! They were the first pair that I had bought in two years.

2) Ear Drops

I have had some sort of an ear infection for a week, and I am thankful that I have a running prescription on ear drops. I have been using them, and they have been helping.

3) Melatonin

I have been having issues with not sleeping for awhile now, and I went to my doctor before Christmas, and he said that I could try Melatonin. I am on a very low dose of 3mg, and I think that it is helping.

4) Breakfast Maker

I love my Tupperware Breakfast Maker. I made French Toast in it the other morning, and it was really good. Ok, it was a tad dry, but it was still good.

5) Reading/Planning/Journalling

I ended off the weekend by doing some reading, planning, and journalling, and it was MUCHLY needed!!! I also was able to redeem my Free Drink. I had the Caramel Apple Spice, and I had them add some salt to it (the stuff they add for the salted caramel mocha). It was SO GOOD!

The wknd itself was good: Friday, I am not sure what I did. I think I went to the library, and then I relaxed at home for a bit. I went to my neighbours to visit for a bit. Then I was in bed around 10. Saturday, I slept in, and I hung out in the morning. I ran errands, and went to the library. I came home and did a few things. Anker and I finished taking the decorations down and put away. I went to meet up with Mom to give her her bday present (she was in town this wknd), and then we ended up going for coffee. I came home and watched TV, and read magazines. Sunday, I went to church, then to McD's, and then home for a bit. I watched Big Bang Theory, and laid down for a bit. I went back out to Starbucks to do some reading/planning/journalling, then over to my neighbours for cake. Anker stayed home and got a few things done.

Five on Friday (And Happy New Year)!!!

I will post about Christmas and New Year hopefully soon. I thought I would be blogging TONS while I was off, but I guess not. LOL. I hope you all had a great C and NY. Ours was very good. But I will fill you all in on another post. But first...here are my top five faves of/from this last week (I may have a few more than five!)!

1) Double Star Day:

I had my first DSD of 2018 at Starbucks the other day, so of course I **had** to partake! I ordered a Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, and it was DELISH!

2) These AMAZING Pies:

On NYE, Anker and I had a nice evening; we ate fun food, and watched two movies, and we also had Key Lime Mini Cheesecakes. Oh.My.Word. It was SO GOOD!!! They were on 2 packages for $8, otherwise, I might not have bought them. I may have to buy them again.

3) New Day Planner:

I bought a new PINK day planner from Wal-Mart the other day, and I really like it. It doesn't have the calendar, only the note pages (which I didn't realize until after I bought it), but I think I will still keep it.

4) New Health Concoction:

I will be posting about this soon, as well. But I have started on a new health concoction for a health issue. I am happy that I might have found something to help it.

5) New Tupperware:

I realize that most of these favourite contain the word "new". Oh, well. Anyway...I also won some Tupperware at my Team Meeting on Tuesday. I bought some raffle tickets, as they usually have things to win. I ended up winning a huge sparkly bowl, and four plates...as well as winning a container with Tupperware's 70th Party logo on it! I am excited about my Tupperware business this year. I hope to get more parties, and more orders this year.

6) Day at the Library:

I spent nearly 6 hours at the library the other day, and it was SO FUN! I read my magazines, and I loved it!!!

7) Getting things Done:

I didn't get a ton done over the holidays, but I DID manage to get my brakes done on the car, cleaned out the fridge, and today, and I washing bedding.

Those are my faves this week! What are yours?
