All About this Week

A very good morning to you all!  Did anyone notice my non-existent Thursday Thrift post yesterday?  I am sorry.  I had something that I was working on, but my photos just weren’t doing the outfit any good so I gave up on the post for this week altogether.  A bad hair day, I guess.  The Thursday Thrift is still alive and well though, even with a missing post every now and again.

So this week, it was a busy, fun, and painful one.

Busy because it was the last of our first nine weeks – I can’t even believe it.  The time has just flown by!  We’ve been working hard getting the last of the work done and I have been working just as hard getting all of my grades taken care of.  I am almost there, a little bit more today and I should be able to enjoy next week’s break without a grade book or a red pen in hand.

It was fun because there was the annual wine walk in Jackson.  Once again, my guy and a couple of our dear friends got the chance to go out and enjoy the evening.  There was wine tasting, antique browsing, and even a friendly game of pool.  Plus, a late night Mc Donald’s snack.  It’s not everyday that we find ourselves at the drive thru after dinner time.  Those chicken mcnuggets sure are good once in a while.

Now for the painful part of the week, my hip.  I’ve already mentioned before about this hip flexor strain, well, it may have been a little more than just a strain.  I spent most of this week either icing it or heating it and there was definitely a lot of hobbling involved.  Really, it has felt like seven days of having a hip that just needs to pop – a constant charlie horse if you will.  The worst part of this whole injury is that it hurt to do everything: moving my foot, my knee, my leg, and even sitting.  None of it had been easy, until today.  It has taken a whole seven days, but I really feel like I am on the mend.  I am happy that dance aerobics will be back in my regular rotation, along with my new found love of deadlifts, come Monday.  I am planning on taking it easy though, I would hate to be laid out for any longer.  It was a hard week, mobility wise.

And that was about all of my week, oh, except for that iphone I was waiting on.  I got it early in the week and I am oh so very happy with it.  Initially, I wanted nothing to do with the latest and greatest, but once my guy bought his, I was counting the days before I would have my own.  My iphone 4 now seems like a small little brick compared to this one.  I am very happy with the upgrade.  I am now just waiting on the new case.  Hope this isn’t the electronic device I end up breaking…

Well, that is all for me for this week.  I have a week off ahead of me and I have a few sewing projects that I am planning to get to.  And, there is a little lot more wine making research to do.  Until next time, have a wonderful weekend!
