I'm back! I missed being a part of Susanne's Friday's Fave Five for several weeks now due to life creeping in and taking up all my spare time! Once again, I'm joining my friends as we reflect on five favorite things that happened in our week.
1. Time Off: One of the highlights this week is that as I am recuperating from a severe upper respiratory infection, I have earned time off to cover the days I miss at work. What a blessing this benefit is!
2. The Winter Olympics: Even though I am not a sports person at all, whenever the Olympics are on, I must watch every bit of television coverage. I love the stories of the athletes! I love when my country's team wins a medal! I'm just an Olympics junkie!
3. New computer: The last few weeks at work have been a struggle with a 7 year old computer that was about to bite the dust. A new computer was ordered and installed this week. Oh, the difference! I click on something and it comes up RIGHT AWAY.
4. Winning a Giveaway: This week, I received in the mail my most recent winning at a blogger's giveaway. The prize was "The Red Plate." The Red Plate is used in celebrating special days. You serve the guest of honor their meal on the Red Plate. Is it your birthday? You get to eat your meal on the Red Plate! Did you get an A on your final exam? Dinner on the Red Plate! Thanks to Kristen at We are THAT Family for hosting this giveaway.
5. My Favorite Chair: While I've been watching the Olympics and healing from my recent illness, I've been resting in my favorite chair. It's so comfy! Even better, I found it this year at a yard sale for $15!!! Gotta love a bargain that feels and looks good!

Glad you’re back, and hope you’ll feel even better soon.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the Olympics, too, especially the backstories. Have fun with your new computer. It does make a difference!
Glad you're back and that you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit of an Olympic junkie too I have to admit, but more so with the Winter Olympics than the Summer. I'm driving my family a wee bit crazy. LOL.
The red plate is such an awesome idea! congrats on your win.
Sorry to hear you were sick although a few days off is always nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the Olympics too - although I think we're cheering for different teams :)
Congratulations on your new plate - I've always wanted a birthday plate - I keep looking for them at second hand stores but haven't found one yet. Maybe I'll win one :)
Happy weekend and hope you're feeling all better soon.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you had time off to recover properly, Jerri. Enjoy your new computer's speed. That you got 7 years out of your old 'puter is quite a feat!
ReplyDeleteHi Jerri! Sorry to hear about your being under the weather. That is so cool that you got a favorite comfy chair for 15 bucks!! The Olympics have been fun to watch. I can't stay up that late but I've tried to remember to DVR the shows so I can watch in the morning :0)
