Oof. I had some fig-full days this week, but some days I had to dig deep. Then there were some ANTI-FIGS, like when I spilled a can of seltzer into my purse. But let’s not dwell on that- here are my FIGs for last week! (In case anyone is wondering what in the world I’m talking about, check out Elisabeth’s post.) FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7th: I got a postcard! Actually, it was a postcard from the fig queen herself, Elisabeth! SATURDAY: I have a new gym! More importantly, my daughter and I now go to the same gym. She went to work out today with a friend, and I picked them up. The fact that she’s working out makes me very happy. SUNDAY: Obviously- dinner and a walk with Birchie! MONDAY: Muffin! I have the snuggliest cat in the world. TUESDAY: Another gym-related fig. I was at the gym at the same time as my daughter and her friend, and they VOLUNTARILY CAME UP TO ME to say hello. Then I helped them figure out how to use some of the machines. Yes- my daughter actually was seen in public with me! I was shocked. WEDNESDAY: Very exciting day- a Whole Foods opened right near us. I went to the Grand Opening, and was able to use a coupon for $20 off. If only I could get $20 off every time I shopped there, it would actually be affordable. THURSDAY Rough day- and it was my own stupid fault. I stayed up way too late reading Wednesday night, and felt like complete crap. It’s hard to look for figs when you have a headache all day. I finally settled on… our weather. It’s hard to appreciate it sometimes, but reading everyone’s posts from up north about the snow and cold reminds me of how much I hate, hate, HATE winter! I hate being cold and I hate the gray skies. Give me warmth and sunshine any day, even if I do complain about being TOO warm sometimes. Are you participating in Elisabeth’s FIG Collective?
