Life:
I just had
the strangest moment. I wanted to tell you guys all about my week.. and my mind
just went blank. What did I do this week? It was a good one, I know that
because I’m feeling good but what on earth did I do this week? I honestly had
to grab my planner to check what I did! LOL!! Weird!! Do you guys have moments
like that?

But
thankfully it came back. I’ve had a good week. I had a lot of free time this
week because I only had to work two days. That’s really unusual for me, but I
had worked so much in November and December that I had to have some days off
this month. I suppose all those over hours had to be cleared, but I don’t mind
at all. It’s definitely nice to have a lot of free time for once.

But I couldn’t
spend it all on reading unfortunately. Monday I had a cleaning day. I
desperately needed to clear out my closets and get rid of stuff I never use,
and clothes I don’t fit anymore. In the end I had six garbage bags full to get
rid of, so I’m really proud of myself. I’m not very good in throwing stuff away
so this was a big deal for me.

Tuesday was
my only bad day of the week since I had to go to the dentist. I now have a ‘sort-of’
brace for two weeks. Blegh.. I’ve had braces when I was in my teens but now
there was a lot of room between two of my front teeth that wasn’t there a view
weeks ago. So now I’m wearing these braces for two weeks and they say it will
be back to normal again after that. It sucks at the moment, because it hurts
and doesn’t feel very comfortable but in the end it is for a good cause. I can’t
have a big hole between my teeth when I’m getting married in a view months
right! Whahaha

Wednesday
and Thursday I had to work and on Friday my mom and her boyfriend came to our
home. My mom and I cooked some Spanish tapas and it was really good.

And not to
forget my boyfriend and I went to the gym three times this week. We’re
definitely back in our healthy lifestyle vibe. I’m feeling really good about
it. And it’s also good for my audiobook listening time.

Books & Blogging:
I’ve had a
good amount of time to read this week, which was really good since I’ve been
waiting on the J.D. Robb novel to arrive for a long time. I have the whole
weekend off and I’m planning to read most of it since my blog tour stop of the
J.D. Robb novel is this Thursday. Thankfully I’m a good planner and my schedule
is still good to go.

I totally forget sometimes what I did during the week and when it's time to write something I draw a blank! You're not alone. Glad you had a good one. The food looks yummy! 🙂
Good to hear Greg! 😉
Thanks. It was really yummy too. It was a lot more work than we planned, but I suppose I can never do things the easy way!! LOL!!
Have a great week!
It happens to me every time I open my blog editor :/ Talking to people I can't see or writing to an audience isn't easy for me. Practice is all I can do.
And practice makes perfect so your doing a great job! 😉
Sometimes it's easier for me than other days. But writing this post.. I just forgot my whole week! LOL!
Have a great week and happy reading!
Thank you!
I have those blanked out moments sometimes, too, especially when I'm working on my thesis. I get my stuff because I have this fantastic thing I want to add to it and then, it's just gone. Thankfully, most of the time it gets back to me again 🙂
I hope the kind of brace will help with the gap between your teeth, even if it's uncomfortable right now.
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

It's weird right? Like we have a hole in our minds or something. It's kinda disturbing, but thankfully it gets back in the end. 😀
Have a good week Lexxie!
Yes… I do get those moment, particularly when I'm in the middle of writing first drafts:). You have my profound sympathy – I needed a brace as an adult after a hockey accident as a teenager caught up with me – it's miserably painful as I recall:(. Have a great reading week.

Yep, it's definitely no fun having braces again. But hopefully they'll be gone next week.. So not to long fortunately!
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!
HA! That's funny. I'm always glad to hear there are other "Dories" out there besides me 🙂 Do I have moments like that? An easier question to answer would be "Do I DON'T have moments like that" NOPE. I ALWAYS DO. LOL
Free time is awesome. Is a treasure that we should be able to save to use when needed! So glad you had one of those weeks. Cleaning is never as good as reading [just a few things in life are actually] but I always feel good AFTER I do it. While I'm doing it I feel miserable LOL Enjoy next week 🙂
Whahaha 'Dories'!! That's so funny! I'm glad I'm not alone! 😉
I definitely felt miserable while I was clearing out all those closets.. But I'm very happy with the result! I had to do it sooner or later and now I had the time.. So I'm glad I did it!
Have a great week!
Oh, yes, I am good at forgetting what I did…the only thing that jogs my memory is checking the books I read and posts I wrote…which I have in my notebook. LOL. I very clearly remember moments from the past, though. Oh, no, aging!
As for you, going to the dentist might have just been traumatic enough that you had temporary amnesia…LOL.
I hate going to the dentist!
The table with all those delicious looking foods looks awesome.
I want to read more J. D. Robb books…so far, only the first three have been read by me. Sigh.
Have a great week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Whaha maybe that was it! Maybe the dentist took me memories! Hmmmm.. LOL!
You definitely should read more J.D. Robb when your able too. I love that series. I haven't read them all but the ones I did read where very good.
Have a great week!
Yes I go completely blank sometimes. Ugh, on the brace but it is for a good cause *winks* Have a memorable week!
It's definitely for a good cause! And I'm seeing some result already so I'm happy! 🙂
Happy reading!
Oh I'm waiting on the JD Robb as well… I hope I get it from the publisher!
And I know what you mean about going / being blank about your week. Sometimes I struggle with what I have to share about what I've done!!!
I saw on your blog you got the book too! Enjoy the read.. I finished it Sunday evening!
I'm glad I'm still keeping a written planner so I can check my weeks! LOL!
Have a great week!
Oh gosh, I've always been terrible at throwing things out. So I'm proud of you! Lol. And I'm glad you had a good week with lots of time off 🙂 Also that food looks delicious!
Ah thanks. I'm kinda proud of myself too! It was hard but in the end it was definitely necessary!
It was delicious too. A lot more work than I anticipated on so we ate really late.. but it was worth it!
Have a great week!
I am the child of two pack rats, who are children of pack rats. It's in the DNA, I think. I am trying really hard to not keep shit that is unnecessary, but I'm really bad with papers of all kinds. I was impressed with myself of what I got rid of and donated when I moved in Nov. An entire truckload of stuff. No giving up now! lol
Whaha a truckload? That's impressive! Good job! I definitely agree about it being in your DNA.. I remember we had to move my mom a view years ago because she was going to life with her boyfriend and she had a lot of stuff. More than a lot actually! LOL!! So it's not my fault at all! LOL!
Have a great week!
