How is this my 50th TGIF post? And how has it been two months since I’ve written one? Regardless, life’s been busy, so here’s a quick glimpse at what we’ve been up to this past week:

A high of the week was finding out I received a solid grade on my Accounting midterm. It’s no secret of mine that I’m horrible at math and with numbers, so this course I’ve been working on has really made my head hurt. When I found out I got an awesome mark on my exam, I was pretty pumped, to say the least!

A low of the week was Norah’s early wake-up times. They’re not so bad when I’m getting up to get a run in, I just bring her down to the basement with me and she plays, but when I’m jonesing for that extra little bit of sleep she’s a buzzkill. I have a feeling she’ll pay me back when she’s a teenager and will sleep until 2pm.

An internet find I loved was Mr. T’s post on Twitter in regards to curling:

I mean, come on! Curling just earned some serious street cred. I played quite a bit when I was a kid and loved it; if I had the chance to join a team I totally would start playing again.

The best money I spent was on a bunch of fancy hand soaps at Bath & Body Works. They were on sale yesterday for only $2.95 each, so I couldn’t pass it up! (Plus the foam and yummy smells guarantees that Isla will thoroughly wash her hands when I ask her to.)

Oh, and I also bought new running shoes last Friday and I’m in love with them! So far they feel great and I haven’t had any issues, although I still need to work on the tightness of the laces. (Numb toes are no fun!)

My favourite Isla and/or Norah moment was on Wednesday when we helped Isla hand out her Valentine’s Day cards to her classmates. Norah fell in love with Isla’s classroom and I couldn’t get her to leave! (Bribery definitely happened.) It’s amazing to see how much Norah looks up to her big sister, even though they are still SO different when it comes to their personalities.

A song that has been stuck in my head is all of the new Justin Timberlake tracks. SO GOOD.

My notable meals of the week were the carne asadas we made on Saturday. Craving Satisfaction mission = Complete!

My plans for the weekend are to have dim sum with my Dad to celebrate Chinese New Year on Saturday, plus go to a Barre & Brew event that afternoon. Pretty sure I’m going to have dead legs by the end of the day!

Happy Friday! What are your weekend plans?
