Face it Friday! Week 33 (How is it Week 33 already???)
It's taken much longer to get back into the swing of things than I thought I would.
I can't help but laugh at how much of a disruption a two week "vacation" can be to your every day life and activities.
Of course, it doesn't help that I returned to work only to find the turmoil that should have been over just getting started. And when you spend approximately a third of your life at your job, the turmoil in the workplace affects things in your non-work life, too. Mood, attitude, energy level. All of it. By the time I pull into the parking lot at home, I'm ready for bed. And then I can't sleep. It's a never-ending cycle.
Things are slowly improving. Although I have little hope that we'll be ready to open a month from now, let alone Monday.
But that's okay. I'm letting it go. It's not like I can do anything to speed up the construction or to prettify the cabinets, or fix the signs that were printed wrong. We did, however, manage to procure toilet paper for the women's restroom. I consider that a win.
The Boss Man would be so proud of my zen attitude.
Anyway, none of that matters now. We're here to talk about goals.
And I'm here to talk about how I haven't done a darned thing to work on them in the past two weeks.
Well, I guess that's not exactly true. I've been working on my reading list and I've been working through my Netflix queue. But the big stuff? It's all just sitting there, taunting me. And I'll get around to it. I will. I just have to get back into my good habits and let the craziness settle down.
It would also help if I stopped procrastinating and making excuses.
Allegedly.
Anyway, enough about me and my lack of progress. I have a giveaway winner to announce.
Remember that time when I promised to bring something back from South America?
Well, it turns out that Paraguay isn't much for the souvenirs. Like, you can't buy postcards of the beautiful...shanties. They don't sell coffee mugs or keychains or I HEART Paraguay t-shirts. At least, not in any of the places I visited.
But they DO have these seriously yummy cookies called alfajores. It's pronounced: alpha-whore-uh.
Which is why it's kind of fitting that the winning commenter was number 35: KRISTINA PULSIPHER!
Kristina is the winner of a 12-pack of yummy alfajores. I hope you enjoy them! Now send me your address already!
Aaaaaand there's one other thing.
I love doing my Blog of the Week feature on Sundays. But it feels like I could be doing a lot more to share your awesomeness. Because there is SO much awesomeness. For that reason, I'm going to add to my Blog of the Week posts on Sunday. Beginning this week, I'm going to choose a few of my favorite blog posts from the week and link them up. I'm not committing to a number. Because, some weeks, I may have 20. Other weeks, y'all might write a bunch of suckage and then I'd be forced to pick something anyway.
(Although, none of you have ever written suckage before, so there's really no reason to assume it's going to start happening now.)
Anyway, that's about it for this Friday post.
Now, please, tell us how you've been doing with your goals. Link up your Face It Friday posts and tell us all about it!
