Here are some random moments from the best part of the week – the weekend!
* Browsed through a local toy store and marveled at the fun things that are available for children!
* A stroll through Staples revealed the find of the century! Dunder Mifflin paper! Being a fan of The Office, I couldn’t resist buying a ream. I think I’ll just look at it… and smell it.
* Friday afternoon yoga… with a focus on anxiety. Needless to say, I was anxious about it but it ended up being quite enjoyable and relaxing.
* An ever so brief encounter with a dear friend. Despite it being a quick exchange, it was wonderful to see her lovely smiling face (and she gave me copies of her kids’ school pictures – so cute)!
* Friday night Zumba with my sister-in-law, with a repeat of last Friday’s 90’s choreography.
* Watched the Chopped All-Stars Finale with the hubby.
* Woke up to more snow. Boooooooo! Hiss!
* Enjoyed the newspaper while sipping a cup of coffee. (The kids liked the newspaper too).
* Pumped some iron. See this picture, that’s me flexing. Pretty sad, no? I’m on a month-long plan to buff up these scrawny arms of mine.
* Got bit by the creativity bug. I lifted paintbrush to canvas (for the first time in a year) and wrote a poem (for the first time in at least a decade)!
* Spent the day in my pajamas (it was delightful).
* Watched an episode of Donut Showdown and then made, you guessed it… DONUTS!
* Observed my toddler watch popcorn pop for the first time in her life. Her initial look of horror quickly turned to joy as the kernels exploded in the popper.
* Movie night with my five-year-old daughter. It was the first time she’s seen Toy Story. She was in awe.
* Finished reading Little House in the Big Woods
* Mai Tais!
* Spinach smoothies and spinach omelets.
* A nap. I never nap!
* This bit of randomness marks my 501st posting since I first published in this corner of the internet (that was back on September 12, 2010). Wow! I can’t believe I’ve written over 500 posts!
That was my weekend. How was yours?

Oh, your toddler’s reaction to popcorn popping is priceless! I love it :)
Love popping popcorn. Love it when the grandchildren are old enough to eat it.
I don’t know if I’m more impressed that you found time for yoga or donut making :) Love both! SOunds like a great weekend!
Congratulations on your 500 posts! Wow! I really admire your consistency. And it sure seems like you fit a whole lot into one weekend!
I was fasting this weekend and it was awful. That was the absolute, worst, by far, most horrendous caffeine withdrawal I have ever experienced, ever. It was awful. My body hates me for all those venti Nutella lattes. It was awful. Did I mention it was awful? Because it was. It was awful. ;0
It sounds like fasting was awful, am I right to assume that? ;)
Thanks so much for your lovely comments. It’s so great having you back here.
Yes. It was awful.
*giggle*
Mmmmm….those donuts look delicious!
