Holy Friday, Batman!

It's already Friday?! Man, the weeks are passing quickly! C and I have been engaged for over a year now.

Today has been stressful. I am trying to do quite a bit of wedding buying/paying deposits now that most everything has been planned. I use an American bank card for this...until I couldn't use it today! So there was some drama. I have used it relatively easily until now.

It has been sorted out, but I was pretty tense for a few hours.

This week's five:

01. Roast chicken. So delicious.
02. Plants are growing like crazy. I can't wait to put them out in the garden.
03. Being under budget on food shopping. I love deals.
04. New dress. Hopefully party worthy. (for rehearsal dinner, etc)
05. The library. I have a goal of reading 75 books before my 26th birthday (May 2011) and I am already ten down. So 65 to go.


Music is roughly the same as last week. With a resurgence of Allo Darlin'.

Friday Five & Music

01. Homemade curry for dinner. Delish.
02. Cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. The flat is looking sparkly.
03. New seeds planted, hopefully they grow and it warms up so I can move my little greenhouse operation outside.
04. Invitation mock up looking great. I am excited that we decided to do these ourselves.
05. Great workout this A.M., despite the gym opening late for Good Friday. I can run for 13 minutes now!!


Music this week: The Avett Brothers (Emotionalism); Mumford & Sons; The Cinematic Orchestra (To Make a Home)

Freitag

1. Lots of gymming. Lovely. And productive! I'm finding muscles I never knew existed!
2. Wedding meeting today, which made me feel pretty good about things, despite my feeling of utter procrastination and apathy about doing anything. (I'm excited for the wedding, just lazy!)
3. Plants, flowers and sun! My seedlings of foxglove, calendula and sweet pea are growing like crazy!
4. Frogs! in the garden! (I haven't seen a frog in the 'wild' since I moved to England 4.5 years ago)
5. 3 hour nap this afternoon. It was delicious, even though I did miss pilates because of it.
