a not-particularly-blogworthy week, apparently

This week...whew.

It's been such a whirlwind at work that I'm hard pressed to remember anything else that's happened. Luckily Monday and Tuesday were the worst of it and the days since then have been busy but not miserable...but still. I'm extremely glad it's Friday.

I have managed to squeeze in a few other (mostly uninteresting) things this week.

1. I took two really hard classes at the gym. I've been patting myself on the back for that, cause both times were instances where I'd really much rather just phone it in on an elliptical while zoning out to HGTV for half an hour...but instead, decided to take a really challenging class instead. I think that I deserve to lose 10 pounds automatically just for that, right? Right.

2. We've found, test driven (twice), and contemplated purchasing a new (to us) vehicle.

Why yes I do have a gift for photography, thank you for noticing.

A Honda Pilot (or, you know, anything bigger than our current compact cars) would mean that once the baby comes, we wouldn't have to take multiple vehicles in order to transport two adults, a baby + carseat, a crazed Lab, and all the stuff that all of those people/animals require. It's a very tempting thought. But it's also a very tempting thought to cling fast to all the dollars we can, knowing that we have an adoption and maternity leave to fund in the very near future. Choices, choices.

3. I had the Shaken Iced Blackberry Mojito Tea Lemonade (wow, that's a mouthful) at Starbucks yesterday. It was delightful...almost like drinking a real mojito in the middle of the workday, only not quite. I will warn you, though, that if you're not a huge fan of mint in your drinks...don't get it. The minty-ness is not subtle.

4. I paused my sprint through the Harry Potter series in order to read my book for book club this weekend. We're discussing The Program by Suzanne Young. It was a really quick read. Very YA, very angsty, but I still really enjoyed it. Actually it made me feel stressed and sad...but still, a good read. I was a little confused about where the story was going, but by the time I got to Part 3, I was on board. I would say that if you could find this at your library or on Kindle for less than about $3, it'd be worth it. (Don't worry. Ten minutes after finishing The Program last night, I plunged into Book 6!!)

I've been staring at the blinking cursor for at least 5 minutes now, so I guess it's safe to say I can't think of anything else noteworthy that happened this week. I'm looking forward to a weekend of peace and quiet and reading. You know, the kind of thing that will make for some really thrilling blogging next week...ha. I'm not really setting myself up for success here, am I? Oh well.

Have a happy weekend!
