contentment 2013

This week went by pretty quickly. I had Monday off then July 4th on Thursday so I pretty much had a three day work week. Yay! 😀 This week I was grateful for:

being able to do some more additional cleaning after the first phase of my kitchen renovation.
a surprise call from my little brother. 😀 He’s hysterical; had me cracking up as usual.
mangoes!!! Sweet, juicy reminder of home! :hearts:

being able to leave work early yesterday and head to one of my favourite stores — Ikea — baby!!! 😀 That store is my crack but I absolutely stuck to my list yesterday! #frugalliving
being able to use my resources and help someone in need.
being able to do my half-time aka half year evaluation of these resolutions and put some things in place to catch up on what I’ve been slipping on but more on that later. Can you all believe it’s July already?!!!
getting back to crafting. More on that in my next post. 😀
finally starting “The Chronicles of Narnia”. Reading “The Magician’s Nephew” now. How many ways can I say awesome about this series and I’m just at book one.
a little inspiration for the week ahead.

Hope you all had an awesome week as well! 😀

My week started like this:

but it’s ended nicely. This week I’m grateful for:

My management company who’s doing a bang-up job with my apt renovations. The kitchen is going to be done this week coming up, so by next weekend, I’ll be back to cooking and crafting!!!! 😀
Rain that helped cool down the nasty humidity I’ve had to deal with this week.
Chr & And who came from Manhattan to take my boxes back and help me pick out a portable a/c.
Enough energy to pack, go through reno then repack my bedroom and main living area. I’m exhausted but good exhausted.
Awesome news from my Dr. Thank you God!!!

Need I say more?!!! LOLOL! Delish
Enough time to organise all my patterns — all of them: my cross-stitch, sewing, knitting and crochet.
The vibrancy of this hydrangea outside my apt building. So healthy looking and full of life.
