Friday Fun But Not When You’re Sick

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
3 Feb

No, it’s just beginning…

I felt sick most of yesterday and woke up with a super bad head cold. Bah. I ate a few bites of Ben’s Chili Killers while letting the Day Quill kick in.IMG_5625 (800x600)

Finally I decided to go for a run/walk to see how I felt. Nope. My body didn’t feel like running so I did a 3 mile mostly walk – run. Then ate cereal for breakfast.IMG_5628 (800x600)

Okay, I’m trying to keep this Friday Fun despite feeling like a big booger head.

So here are my Fun Friday picks for the day…

Favorite Picture: I kinda hope Ben does this to me every time I weigh myself and suddenly stops one day…scale hater(image source)

Favorite Food I want to eat this weekend – mint n’ chip cone from Rite Aide. I saw someone eating a double decker Rite Aide ice cream the other day and can’t get it out of my mind!! When I was a kid I would always get a 2 scoop with either Coconut Pineapple or Chocolate Malted Crunch and Mint N Chip. mint n chip ice cream(image source)

Favorite Work stuff: Last night was slow at the gym so Shelby modeled a hair scarf and someone put up this cute sign.IMG_5614IMG_5615

Favorite Hair Style – braiding my hair because I’m too lazy to dry it and then unbraiding it the next day and pretending I’m fancy. IMG_5605

Question: What’s your favorite Friday thing?

I have a lot of emails to catch up on then I’m headed to my little brother’s science experiment display at his school See ya later!

    I love anything and everything about Friday, I don’t cook and I don’t think about work until the alarm goes off Monday morning.

    I love Friday’s because the kids don’t have homework, I don’t have to worry what time they go to bed and I know I don’t have to wake them up in the morning.
    If it was up to me we would live in a VW bus as a bunch of hippies and never attend school. Just all fun, all the time. heehee

    The moment I really hate is that I have lots of plans and parties but you are reckless because you are sick that is the saddest thing. When you want to eat something but your tongue says I don’t, sad:( Hope you feel better.

      She stole my answer! Kitchen closed on Friday nights. I braid my hair when it’s wet but it never comes out looking like yours, the waves are always weird looking.

    Eating homemade sourdough bread that I made with my own two hands. It took 6 days but it was well worth it 🙂 Now if only I could stay away from it before I devour the two loaves in way less than 6 days…
    Happy weekend!

    My favorite Friday thing is leaving early from work and coming home and collapsing on the sofa knowing that I do not have to jump back on a bus the next morning to head to work 🙂
