a week in the life...

The past week since Halloween has seemed like basically a lifetime! Halloween night I worked a carnival booth at the local Trunk or Treat event (good times). Then came election day. I voted early so I didn't have to stand in line. We all know how the election turned out....now on to the next four years. Early release for schools on Wednesday, which meant a hello long afternoon. This was followed by the final night of lessons for the 8th grade girls bible study I lead, but we still have two more weeks of fun ahead of us before the small group semester ends. First night of Crown Bible Study came Thursday night with the "grown up" small group I attend (amazing study of biblical financial management). Yesterday was a really eventful day, too. Started off early with a trip to the gym (Body Attack is a great workout...I should really blog about my love of exercise....), then home for housecleaning. I was so proud of myself yesterday because I was thorough and got a lot accomplished. The home office is now clean! After a boat load of housework and many, many loads of laundry (seriously, how do 2 people create 7 loads of laundry in one week!), I got dressed to go to "work" at the Bids for Kids auction and dinner that benefits the organization I work for. It was a $300 a plate benefit dinner (black tie and everything) with a live and silent auction. The dinner, at last count, raised a heck of a lot of money. I don't even remember at this point. I got to talk to a friend from high school that I haven't seen in about...oh....6 years last night, too. I didn't get to talk for long, but it is always nice to reconnect with people from the past. Despite getting home after midnight last night, I got up to go to the gym again this morning. I was told after the class today that instructor training for my favorite class starts again in January. I am so going to do this! My gym obsession is seriously a post all unto itself.

All that to say, it feels like life FLEW this past week.
