Whoa, It's Friday!

Friday doesn't mean the same thing during the summer months when you teach. Every day is Friday. In fact, I had no idea today was Friday until I was reading through my Google Reader last night and someone posted that tomorrow was Friday. I seriously had to think twice if that was correct. Regardless of what day it is, I've had quite the week!

1.. Thursday came the financial paperwork for my house and I signed my life, kidney, unborn first dog, and a million years salary towards my first home. Well, not actually that much, but there were numbers everywhere and I just signed on the line, initialed here or there, nodded and smiled. Less then 6 weeks ladies and gentlemen.

2.. I made my first true and official purchase for my lovely little home Thursday night at my favorite antique store, Leola's. They had an outdoor spaces event and I bought a little mint colored wooden box. I visualize it on the wall holding my daily jewelry. I also fell in love with an oval mirror with flowers. I tried to walk away but it called me back. I know, I know, just two days ago I posted about not spending any extra money, but this is my first purchase since I went under contract that wasn't grocery store related.

3.. I found a gift card from Teacher Appreciation week to Trade Secret! I forgot I had it and by golly, I needed an OPI fix to make me feel like I'm not on a spending freeze. I was hoping for a great mint/seaform/torquoise color but of course they were out. I refused to spend my gift card on another pink or red variation. I had $10 to spend that would have to last over 6 weeks so I made sure it was exactly what I wanted. I put those sample nails they paint in every color up to my fingers at least 3 times. I think the cashiers thought I was nuts. I ended up with Number One Nemesis- a Spiderman color.

4.. I tried out another class at the same place I've been taking Barre. This other class involves jumping jacks with 1 lb hand weights on a mini-trampoline for a couple minutes...and that's just the warm up! For an hour, you jump on the mini-trampoline with hand weights for a minute and then do a toning move on the ground and back and forth until you've sweat all you could possibly sweat and used up every ounce of energy humanly possible. And for some reason, I plan to go back at least once or twice a week to that specific class. I'm still loving Barre just as much, it's the best exercise I've ever done.

5.. Cheers for lemon cake! If I can't stop by Braum's for a single dip of chocolate in a cone a couple times a week then I most certainly plan to make some sweet treats along the way. This week's choice was lemon cake with lemon frosting. Yum!
