The things I'm celebrating this week:
- oh my goodness I've actually joined the gym. I'm not sure if this is really something to celebrate yet but it's certainly something positive (apparently). I had my first Zumba class last night and I must say I'm not impressed. It's not dancing and it's not aerobics, what is it?! I just thought it was nonsense!
- I read The Sign of Four in two sittings this week. It's a set text for my OU course and I've felt a lot like I've been falling behind lately, but this has made me feel like I'm moving forward again.
- the lovely surprise on Thursday morning of a Valentines card and a bunch of tulips. My husband really isn't the most romantic of people so it was a lovely thing to find, especially at 6 o'clock in the morning. He'd made the extra effort to have it ready for me, he's so lovely!
I hope you've had a good week, and have an even better weekend!

Sounds like you had a busy week! And that is such a wonderful surprise on Vday!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, so you didn't like zumba, then you'll have to find something else you enjoy so you don't drop exercise. :D Cool detail the flowers! Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to try Zumba, maybe I won't! Great celebrations, anyway :)
ReplyDeleteTake it slow at the gym. That way, you don't overdo it and then get discouraged...trust me...I know! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Sign of Four....great story!
Hooray for the gym! And what a nice Valentine's surprise! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting back into the swing of things with the OU, it can be so easy to fall behind. I spent the time between Christmas and TMA 03 being between two and three weeks behind, luckily reading Withering Heights and The Sign of Four has given me a chance to get back on top.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quick read, isn't it? Good luck with the next assignment. :-D
It's great that you joined the gym, no don't forget to actually go and workout ;) I joined once, went for like a month and that was it, now I just do my thing from home.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard about The sign of four, I have to look into it. Yay for a nice Valentine surprise!
You'll figure Zumba out in two to three sessions. It is weird, but a good workout. Not that it's my thing, but I did do it about twice. I prefer tennis. Good for your husband that he got into the season to give you that special treat.
ReplyDeleteId love to go to the gym with you! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI know lots of people who have the Zumba DVD and do it at home... it sounds like a funky workout!
ReplyDeleteYou made good headway with the reading, and that Valentine surprise sounds so sweet! Enjoy the rest of your weekend Heather.
Yay to V Day celebrations and THE GYM! It is worth a celebration for sure!: ) Thanks for joining in. Sorry I didn't make it round yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for stopping by. Here's to celebrating this week!
