I am tired, you guys. So tired I’m about ready to fall off the perch. I feel like nothing is in my control anymore, every time I do something there’s 20 more things to be done, and I just can’t keep up. It probably doesn’t help that work is ridiculously busy, I’m still trying to run this site, and I’m desperately trying to not drop the ball on being a good wife (I’ll tell you a secret, I think I probably have). To be honest I didn’t write a This Week post last week because I just couldn’t face it. Hayley normally does every second one, but she was on holiday in Tasmania (I’m jealous too) and I just had nothing I could muster the energy to say.
Best
That it it’s Friday. Look, there are amazing things going on and I’m so incredibly blessed, but right now all I need is this weekend. Last weekend we celebrated the Viking’s 40th birthday (which isn’t actually until December 24, but for obvious reasons we chose to celebrate it early) and I was just so proud of myself for pulling off a good party for him. He deserves it.
Worst
You know when you feel like you’re swimming against the tide and instead of making any progress you’re actually moving backwards? Yeah. That.
This Week’s Pic
I could show you one of the many pictures I put up in the past 2 weeks (or you could just follow me on instagram) but instead I chose the picture at the top from Hyperbole and a Half, the post titled This is Why I’ll Never Be An Adult. I have always felt that post was written about me, and this week even more so. Particularly as I sit here typing this on a Thursday night in my cookie monster PJs, with my bins still on the street and having had a McFlurry for dinner.
Winning at life.
Around the Web
This post on why Germans work fewer hours but produce more was really quite fascinating. I couldn’t imagine working with people I didn’t chat to, but I do like the sound of their emails and meetings! I could do without some of the ceremony.
I loved these 13 life hacks you need right now, particularly the tip on boiling water. Feminist Princess Bride had me laughing, and admiring how well so many of the quotes fit with a feminist slant and this piece about the racism in Kim Kardashian’s latest photos had me completely intrigued – I had never seen it before, but now I can’t unsee it.
Closer to home I loved this piece from Danimezza on finding your purpose.
On KiKi & Tea
Maree kicked off this week talking about the most offensive song of 2014, I showed pictorial evidence of why you should define your eyebrows. Jessica wrote about how she has given up on finding Prince Charming, and I admitted I’ve become a fanatic. Last week I expressed my desire to live a simpler life (and how difficult that would be for me), taught you how to curl your hair with a ghd, Sally shared the best Asian noodle soup and Mandi wrote about phase three of the Marvel cinematic universe.
How was your week? Anything to share?
