Friday's Fave Five- April 24, 2009


Another Friday has rolled around! It's time for Friday's Fave Five, a time to look back and pick five favorite things from your week.

Here's my five:
1. I love bargains! Last Saturday, I went with our ladies group from church on a shopping trip. We had a wonderful day of fellowship, food, and shopping. I'm really excited about the ceramic canister set I found - they look like Victorian style houses. I collect decorations that look like houses, and I had seen a similar set about 12 years ago for $50. I paid $5.50 for this set:

I was so excited!

2. This week was Administrative Professional Week. Both my churches gave me flowers:




I love these white roses from Cornerstone A/G

Here's an adorable potted plant from First Baptist. See the ladybugs? Also attached to the plant, a stress computer. You squeeze it when stressed. It tells you "RELAX."

I also received gift certificates to restaurants, a chocolate pie, and a sweet tea. They know I love chocolate and sweet tea!

3. I didn't take a picture of it yet, but this week our new stove came in that we had ordered a few weeks ago. My old stove was 28 years old so I felt it was time for a new one. I love new appliances!

4. Also, this week I took a step toward physical fitness and bought a circuit trainer mini-trampoline. (No, I will not post pictures of me exercising!) Now, I have no excuse, rain or shine I can walk or jog. My goal for this week is to exercise 10 minutes a day (I'm starting out small and increasing exercise time each week.) I'm proud to say that since Sunday I've met my goal. Next week: 15 minutes a day.

5. I love an activity-free Saturday! Other than going over to do the bulletin at church #2, I have nothing planned! Of course, this means I have no excuse to not clean out the refrigerator ...

So, how did your week go? Why not join us at Susanne's Living to Tell the Story and share?

  12. I love bargains, too, and the flowers are beautiful, but I am most excited about your exercising goal. You go, girl!!!
    Since my husband opened a personal training studio a year and a half ago, I have been working out regularly and although there are times I hate it, I love it! Keep up the good work, Jerri. And, you're wise - take it in managable steps!
