1 – My emotions have taken a severe beating this week. It’s been one of those weeks where bad things on top of bad things on top of bad things are happening. Between drama with a guy to making careless mistakes at work to all-consuming stress about life, I am really happy to see Friday. I have had “It Is Well With My Soul” on repeat in the car for my drives to and from work and continuously repeating, “Just because you’ve had a bad day week, does not mean you have a bad life.” Over and over again. I have to remind myself that this week is an anomaly and next week will be better.
2 – On a much happier note, today is the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Summer Olympics! I am so excited about the Summer Olympics. This ranks right up there with football for me and I can’t wait to devote all my free time to watching the competitions – especially swimming, diving, track & field, and gymnastics. AH! Is the workday over yet?
3 – Whenever my mom and I watch So You Think You Can Dance, we have this thing where we shout out the name of the choreographer we think choreographed the opening routine. The only rule to this “game” is that you can’t repeat what the other one said so we have to be quick! It’s just one of those silly games my mom and I play that I love more than anything. We have a lot of those. (I guessed Tyce, by the way, for this past week’s routine. And I was right. BOOYA!)
4 – People I really like in Big Brother: Ian, Ashley, and Shane. People that need to leave Big Brother very soon: Jenn and Danielle. (I hate floaters.) People I’m still on the fence about: Frank, Wil, and Joe.
5 – Sunday is our #twookclub chat on The Book Thief. I’m going to try my best to shake from my gloomy mood to have a great chat. I loved the book so I’m actually really excited to chat about it. I’ll also be announcing the book for August an hour before the July chat so if you haven’t voted yet – go vote!
