I saw your water problem in the news...that's crazy. I am glad that it got fixed but it sucks that you had to deal with the weird water (and running your water for HOURS?) issues.

Though it may have been sick at heart or malaise. Just exhausted -- an exhaustion that didn't stop on Saturday, either. <br /><br />Well, onward.

I realized I hadn't watched an entire NFL football game this year, so figured I'd keep it running strong ;) <br /><br />Okay, really I was working. And Ryan DVR'd the game to enjoy it with me. And then I ruined the excitement when I told him right before going to bed, "Damnit! The Vikings lost!" Fail.<br /><br />I hope by now you have the water back! That is awful!!! Hope your chili turned out great! I'm sure it did :)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-12343723990561731812013-01-05T09:25:14.686-06:002013-01-05T09:25:14.686-06:00Boyfriend to the rescue!

We are in a slower time at work, which is nice, but in some ways just makes the day drag on longer.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-19380313089090657382013-01-04T17:18:59.916-06:002013-01-04T17:18:59.916-06:00In retrospect, I feel like my week took longer to ...In retrospect, I feel like my week took longer to get through. Maybe that's because my day off for New Year's was right at the beginning of the week, so by Wednesday, I felt like I had to start all over again.<br /><br />I don't have any big plans for the weekend. I think my cousin's niece and nephew are coming to our house tonight, and Sunday I plan on (and hopefully will actually get to carry through this) writing and scheduling my blog posts for the week and getting my room cleaned up and organized. It is a right mess at the moment. :-/<br /><br />For now, though, I'm just having a glass of wine and catching up on some blogs. :) Hope you have a good weekend and good luck with any upcoming tests!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-33742813628803020752013-01-04T15:27:17.473-06:002013-01-04T15:27:17.473-06:00Such a good point to be thankful for clean water o...Such a good point to be thankful for clean water on demand!!!! I never even thought of that until you wrote it in your post. So many people live with that daily. Craziness! <br /><br />Hope you had a great weekend. I felt really really off this week. I think it was a combo of coming home Tuesday night before starting work on Wednesday and then work being much busier than I expected. Hoping to recharge and organize myself a bit this weekend!

I definitely know what you mean though! Eric bails me out of many pinches :) <br /><br />I also felt like it was a super long week even though it was only 3 days. I think it was because i got home so late from Florida on Tuesday night. I'm looking forward to organizing my life this weekend and just resting and being very low key. We have a busy January coming up so this is a nice little calm before the storm.

I will probably still be cheering on my individual fantasy players who did so well for me this year haha. ;) Not too much on the agenda for this weekend, I go back to work on Monday after my 2 weeks off. Woot woot. Might go to some open houses to look at homes with my bff, relax, and perhaps tackle some organizing that needs to be done in my closets.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-49026439526498188322013-01-04T12:58:02.333-06:002013-01-04T12:58:02.333-06:00I've been on holidays, but the week has felt p...I've been on holidays, but the week has felt pretty long actually (which is good for me!).

This weekend is all about Sweets' birthday, so he might go out for drinks with a friend tonight, we're going to Zoo Lights tomorrow night (at his request) and we'll spend Sunday afternoon with his family. In addition, I'm making butternut squash mac n cheese for friends with a new baby and I would like to make a big batch of chili for ourselves - we'll see if I have time! Hope your water issue is cleared up by today - hooray for using it as an excuse to go see your man one more time this week. =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-14598310557285450892013-01-04T09:58:24.909-06:002013-01-04T09:58:24.909-06:00Sometimes the shortest weeks feel like the longest...Sometimes the shortest weeks feel like the longest- why not just give the whole week off for heaven's sake?! <br /><br />But seriously, enjoy your weekend despite the CFA studying! :) Melissahttp://www.melissalivinglife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-91367094155248829812013-01-04T08:25:52.524-06:002013-01-04T08:25:52.524-06:00Hope your water is back to normal soon!!
