Gotta Find The Joy

Yup still busy.  Does that ever change?  I’m trying, I’m trying.  I kind of thrive off of the pressure but I’m quite tired.  And there’s a slight chance that Brad and I are getting a cold.

But enough of that.  This week there has been a TONNE of silver linings in my crazy life.  Let’s bullet list, shall we?

  • This morning I found my pedometer.  YAHOO!  I’m so excited about this.  It’s been missing for two weeks.  Back to counting.  Ten thousand here I come ;)
  • I got my grades for the semester.  Finance = A.  Accounting = A. Stats = B+.  (My finance grade was bell curved up and my accounting grade was bell curved down.  I guess that’s some fair karma isn’t it.)
  • Pita Break surprised me with a super delicious delivery of their pitas and One Buns.
  • AND…….. drum roll this for me …………………………

A NEW BIKE!!!!!!!!

I won this bike from Raleigh and The Ride For Heart back in May and I finally got it this week.  It’s my first road bike.  I haven’t been on it yet.  We walked it home from the bike shop.  I’m going to wait for a quiet morning to take it for a spin so I can get used to it.

And last but not least – vacation :)

Today is our last day of work before a mini vacation.  Brad and I are off from Friday until Wednesday.  It’s the only block of real vacation time (i.e. there’s no homework) we’ve had this year.  We’re very excited!

What joy did you find in your week?

    Hey!
    That is so cool that you won that road bike!! I just got my first road bike too, as I train a tonne for triathlons and road racing. How long are your typical rides? How long was the Ride for Heart? You look great– good luck with everything :)

  2. Awesome possum!! Love the new bike! My week has been super busy too. But, two silver linings:
    1) I won $200 at the CNE casino and bought myself a new wacom tablet and craft business book (YAY!!)
    2) My friends Brad and Morgan are going to join me for a swim on Friday afternoon at a public pool (ehhhh? What do you think???)

    How cool that you won a bike! I hope you enjoy lots of great rides on it–get out there before it starts to get cool!

    Enjoy your vacation. I am in denial that school is back in and we won’t be traveling any time soon!

    Sweet new ride! That’s awesome. Love it.

    Well I started a new job, in a new town, far away from anywhere I’ve ever lived. Silver lining? Steady income, and ADVENTURE!!

  6. Last weekend I was on a bike for the first time in at least a year…and my first time ever on a road bike! I’m thinking that I want to invest in one now, they’re amazing.

  7. YOU WON A BIKE? I’m happy when I win peanut butter… LOL. Joy is in your hands and it has 2 wheels!

    NICE!
