week forty six

Another week has passed...I thought I would be catching up on all my little projects during that week but my cold really knocked me out on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I stayed home from work and basically slept all day. On Saturday we solved our toilet dilemma and purchased two at Lowes. After shopping at Lowes and a quick stop at Target (see preview of my loot in the last photo) we ate lunch at Five Guys. It was my first food in days and a burger with fries never tasted so good. And I discovered soda fountain heaven there, they have a soda machine that can mix I don't know how many different kinds. I wish I could have tried them all, my stomach could only handle Diet Coke Lime and Peach Fanta. Yum! When we got home I was ready for another nap and the rest of the weekend we only relaxed at home. Now I finally started to feel like myself again, I was already getting annoyed with myself for being so whiny the last two weeks...

This week will be a very short work week for a lot of us because Thursday is Thanksgiving and Friday I have a day off. Four day weekend! Hooray! Hope you all have a great start into the new week!

    Oh no! I'm so sorry that cold really, really got you. Isn't Five Guys great? Sometimes a burger is the only thing that will do. A long weekend (and perhaps more shopping?!) is just the thing to get you really recovered! Keep feeling better, dear.

      Five Guys is so yummy! I always try to vary my toppings. Already feel much better, almost back to normal.

    What a pain that you felt so rotten for so long! Don't even apologize if you think you were whiny, you had a cold! You're entitled to be whiny :) I've never eaten at Five Guys, can you believe it?? I love your Target loot, is that pillow from their Shoppes at Target collaboration? Super cute, love the colors.

      Thanks Erin! I was actually annoyed by my whining but that stopped ;) You have to try Five Guys, it's delicious. You guessed correctly! The pillow is from the Shops at Target.

    I'm trying to save room in my stomach for Thursday but I went a little overboard with food last night. Sigh, I'll never learn

      The soda machine is unbelievable, they had so many varieties. You have to give it a try!

    Is that the Five Guys on Tonelle Ave? I've never seen one of those machines at any other Five Guys (but I have to say I am fascinated). And you are totally entitled to be whinny when you feel crappy. But, glad to hear you're feeling a little better. Hooray for short weeks!

      Yes, the one on Tonelle Ave! P mentioned he had seen it in another location somewhere near his office. It was the first time I have seen one, I was abit overwhelmed by the choices ;)

    We missed out on five guys when we visited last year but it was on my list! Glad you are feeling better - I think you have every right to be a bit 'whiny' when you have had such a crazy couple of weeks!

    Don't call yourself whiny, this cold was a tough one. If yours was anything like the one that just ran through each member of our family (my daughter is the last one battling it right now), then I can understand why it knocked you out. Keep getting lots of rest, that seems to work really well. Hooray for a short week! Hang in there, Nina.
    PS~Even with a cold, you managed to wear some cute outfits, drink fun soda, and acquire cool loot from Target. So, the week wasn't totally wasted. ;)

      Thanks for being so understanding. I got the cold from P and he usually never gets sick but both of us got knocked out. Hope you and your family are all feeling better now!
