Thank Frock It's Friday! ♥

Hello, and HAPPY FRIDAY SATURDAY!

x Exercising - What?! Are we still at the same website?! With an opening like that, you would certainly be excused for temporaily thinking that we weren't! After all, when my usual exercise routine consists of just shuffling around the house and walking the dog up and down the street, it's almost unbelievable to imagine that I could actually be exercising again and - shock! - enjoying it! But I AM. When I was 16, I used to walk EVERYWHERE. Suburbs an hour apart? Sure! Houses in completely opposite directions? Why not?! And then along came a boyfriend with a car (not that I'm complaining!) and the lure of public transport (I could definitely complain about that, but won't, because that would be b-o-r-i-n-g), and my motivation for walking trailed along happily after them. But! This week I've reginited my passion for huge walks and even though my limbs currently feel as though they've been hit by a truck and then reversed over, it's been completely worth it!

x Researching Hotels In London - It has been my obsession of the week and obsessing I am! I have four months to choose somewhere to stay and given the fact that my boyfriend has never been overseas before and that our trip in October is largely to celebrate one of his milestone birthdays, I want it to be somewhere special!

x Other Little Things - Enthusiasm (it is such an irresistable quality!); talking to my best friend; discount stores, and all the fabulously cheap (and fun!) thrills that they contain; filling my diary with quotes, pictures and lists galore; ''partying 'til the cows come home, and then partying with the cows!''; english muffins; raspberry berets; crossing tasks off my to-do list; banana cupcakes; watching episodes of The Simpsons; hair consultations; exceptional customer service; celebration bubbles; dinner plans; evaluating my priorities; fearless communication; studded wallets; $5 Eiffel Tower brooches (oui!); and new reading material!

This Week -

x I Can't Stop Listening To - Boney M (Tom was trying to convince me today that Lady Gaga's Bad Romance had taken inspiration from their 70's disco hit, Rasputin - but I don't know, I just don't see it!), Peter Bjorn & John's Amsterdam, Metallica and The Presets!

x A Lesson Learned - Personal responsibility is a concept that's equal parts terrifying and enlightening, but one that's ultimately (when acknowledged) extremely rewarding! (More on that to come next week!)

Suggestions For The Week Ahead -

x Throw a picnic! (Who needs an occasion?! And if you do, pretend that it's National 'Appreciate The Genuis That Is Sitting On A Blanket And Feasting On Delicious Sandwiches' Day!)

x Review the previous six months: how has 2010 shaped out to be for you? Have you followed through on your resolutions from the begnning of the year? Did you have any resolutions?! How would you like the next six months to be remembered in the future? Would you like a drink from the fridge while I grab one in the next couple of minutes? Questions, questions!

♥

Tell me! How was YOUR week? (And have a superb weekend!)
