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!
Doesn’t it seem like once one bad thing happens, it’s so easy for things to spiral? Keep your head up! It will get better 🙂 I’m super excited for the olympics too!!
I am not sure I am going to make the book chat. I will try! I did like that book and am interested in hearing what other people thought!
I am desperately trying to finish the Book Thief for Sunday, I’m about 30% done so don’t know if that will happen but I DO plan to spend all day tomorrow outside reading! Haha
We like opposite big brother people. haha. I CAN’T STAND Ashley. omigosh that girl annoys me. I do love Shane though, but also Danielle and I think I like Frank and Wil but haven’t fully decided yet. At first I really liked Willie and felt bad that everyone was judging him for his brother and then he turned out to be CRAZY too so I’m kind of not getting overly committed to any players this year yet. haha
Sorry to hear you had a tough week. 🙁 It can only get better, right? That is what I tell myself during those sorts of weeks. And they make us stronger… it might not feel like that right now, but it is usually the case. Hang in there! Hopefully this weekend is a restorative one for me!
i am lookign forward to our book chat! I might be a little late as I am not sure how late I will get back from my parents lake home, but I want to try to make it for most of the chat!
I love Book Thief!! Can’t wait for the chat 😀
Also, I totally plan on e-mailing you back as soon as I’m able to sit up long enough to write more than 3 sentences. Today: feeling better than yesterday. I hate that I was away for such a big part of your crappy week! Things WILL get better though. Text me if anything! <3
I caught some of the tweets about the stupid boy. EW BOYS.
I’m sorry you had a rough week, Stephany. Hope this week will be better. I think it will be!
🙁 It makes me sad that you’ve had a rough week. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this one is better.
I’m a new SYTYCD fan (as in, started watching for the first time ever this summer), but I’m starting to catch on to the choreographers’ styles. We play the same game! (Well, minus the can’t-say-the-same-choreographer part).
I can’t believe I missed the chat last night! I totally fell asleep just as the chat was beginning. Sigh. (I’m blaming the odd work hours!)
