Good News & Happy Wednesday (July 2)

Thought we'd combine these two together!

Happy Wednesday! What's happening today?

Share whatever good news is making you happy this week :-)

QOTD: I saw a post on FB yesterday that said we're halfway through 2014 (crazy). Any goals for the rest of the year that you'd like to accomplish?

Today is relatively quiet! Working shorter hours for Ramadan, so not too much time left at work for the day ;-)

Good news? We're hosting a party on Friday for the 4th of July! I'm excited for cookout foods, salads and desserts!

QOTD: I really want to purge all the clothes in my house that we no longer wear! We have it mostly bagged, we just need to take it to the donation bin!

Also, I just got certified for Zumba Step in April, so I'm planning to focus on putting a full class together this month, so come August, I'm ready to teach!

Hello! Not much to report. It's still cold, grey and rainy here, but tomorrow is supposed to be a bit brighter. Tomorrow is the 8 year anniversary of the day DH and met in person, and he has a special surprised dinner planned. And on Friday he has a big celebration planned for July 4th. He's taken the day off from work and we're going into Melbourne for a surprise celebration.

My Lame Good News: I got a box of new blouses/sweaters from the US yesterday. I'm really excited about the new blouses. They will be perfect for the cruise in January!

QOTD: I have a stack of books I want to read, and I want to finish making a Christmas stocking for my cousin's not so little boy (he's going to be 7 in January!).

Hello! I am still tired from staying up to watch the USA/Belgium match last night. I had a playdate this morning, so I ended up taking an afternoon nap and have just woken up. I feel like a bear!

QOTD: I'm just aiming to enjoy the rest of this year and survive it I guess I would like to have my body back to normal by the end of the year though.

Today was my first day living abroad in South Korea! It's exciting and bust but I'm so, so tired from jet lag.

QOTD: I hope to be able to read/pronounce Korean by the end if the year, even if I still don't know what the words mean.

Good afternoon!

I'm now solo parenting for 12 days. It sucks but I had a good first 24 hours with the kids and got lots of sleep.

We're moving at the end of the month and need to furnish the new place from scratch. Yesterday I scored some great bunk beds off one of our local buy and sells. Bunk beds go fast so I was thrilled. I'm taking an Annie Sloan chalk paint course soon and the plan is to buy a lot of second hand pieces and spruce them up.

Other good news is that I had my 20 week anatomy scan and the baby looks great.

QOTD: I hope I can kick my work into high gear before this baby arrives in November. The last six months have been a write off. DS2 is into everything and I have really lost my fire to work (self employed writer). DS2 should start some nursery in August so that would give me maybe three months to get some work done before I go on maternity leave.
