Currently...Week 3!

It's that time of the week again....this is what i am currently up to!

WATCHING...

Not too much at the moment, just my usual fav shows but I am about to watch the movie Ruby Sparks.

I have also been watching bad lip reading clips on YouTube. The Twilight clip is my favourite! Check it out below...

 

 

LISTENING... 

I have just generally been listening to my favourite radio station Triple J. My latest fav song is Down The Road by C2C.

  

PLANNING...

To move house!! We have started looking at rentals in the location we want to live so now we just have to find a great place! We have also discussed maybe buying a place next year - very exciting!

THINKING ABOUT...

How amazing my husband is! He is my best friend and the most supportive and kind person I have ever met. Not to mention how super cute he is! I feel very lucky to love and be loved by him.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...

My bestie's and I are going along to a local charity dinner/night out in a few weeks and I'm really looking forward to it. Getting dressed up, night out with the girls, champagne, awesome food and it's for charity = perfect night!

I am also looking forward to the Cara Box Swap! If you haven't heard of it head over to Wifessionals and register for next month. Basically, you submit your details and you are then paired up with someone who lives close-ish to you (if you're in the US the person is usually in the same state, if your from another country you're usually just paired up with someone from the same country). You get to know that person via email over 2 weeks and then you go out and purchase them gifts ($15 min) that suit that person based on the months theme. You then post your gift box to the person you have been assigned and you get a gift box from the person that was assigned you. Its a great way to meet new bloggers and who doesn't love getting presents in the mail right? I've received my match for this month, I will be buying for the lovely Melissa who blogs at The Whimsical Wife. And the person who has been assigned me is the super sweet Sarah from Sarahs Special Moments.

READING...

Nothing right now other then blogs but I have just ordered Mindy Kaling's book "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?". I'm hoping it arrives soon as I cant wait to get started - that girl cracks me up!

MAKING ME HAPPY...

I have started a running program this week and feel like I have lots more energy. This is making me very happy!

Happy Wednesday!

Couch to 5k!



5.30am this morning was way to early for my first run - the moon was still out!

 

Over the weekend I decided enough was enough, I really need to make an effort to get fit. So last night the husband and I made the decision to start a Couch to 5k program (granted, Gavin is super fit so doesn't need to do it but he was there for support).

Our first rulk (run/walk - do you think that combining the words will take off?) was at 5.30am this morning. My gosh, it was super hard to wake up to my alarm and actually get out of bed but I knew that if I made an excuse on the first day I would never stick to the program.

The first day program is intended to be easy with a 5 min warm up then alternating 1 minute running with 1 1/2 minutes walking however as I'm very unfit it nearly killed me! Luckily I have a super sweet husband who was there motivating me! The plan is to do a rulk (he he) 3 times a week...hopefully by writing this it will make me accountable for going.

I was going to post this last night but decided to hold off until I had actually gone for my first run. Historically I tend to have these great ideas about things I plan to do but follow through on so few.

 

Hopefully this wont be one of those times!

 

 

Happies and Crappies - Week 2

Its Friday so that means it's time for another instalment of Happies and Crappies!

 

HAPPIES

1. I just ordered another pair of my all time favourite jeans from Topshop - free international postage as well!
2. Gavin and I were out for a midweek dinner date to celebrate the end of Gav's uni semester and we found a new burger place by the harbour in Newcastle. Its called Craft and Co and they have really good sliders and a big craft beer list. It seemed a little pricey at first but was well worth it. I can see it becoming a regular.
3. Excited to go scouring furniture second hand stores tomorrow to try to track down a replica Eames chair to complete this DIY project.
4. Very excited for the Newcastle Jets -v- Sydney FC game tomorrow night. We are big football (soccer) fans in this household and have season tickets to the Jets.

 CRAPPIES

1. I ordered new reading glasses from Firmoo and they are taking forever to arrive. Apparently there was some kind of fault with my lenses when they were made so they will be at least another week.
2. I had to make a few sales calls at work this week to sell advertising space in our publication and it sucked! Ive never really had to do sales before and let me just say I am SO not a natural.

Also, don't forget to check out the blogs of the 'hosts' of the weekly Happies and Crappies post - The Vintage Modern Wife and Scissors and a Whisk.
