Optimist's Worst Weekend

If you know me, you know I normally avoid pity parties and practically never throw one for myself.  But, guys, this weekend was seriously the worst!!  Let's see if we can find the silver lining...

My weekend actually started Thursday (heck yeah!) because I took Friday off to work on National Boards from home...

But, Thursday I went for a run and was attacked and bit by a dog.

Luckily, the dog's teeth didn't break my skin

it's up to date on its shots

and I wasn't hurt badly.

Since I got bit, I had to file a police report

Thankfully, the police were understanding

it didn't take much time

and the people were apologetic.

Saturday morning my husband backed into my car, hard.

At least he wasn't hurt

the damage is  mostly cosmetic

Saturday night I attended the Blogger Buzz with Angela and Ashley

My silver lining!

Thankful for time with women that I have a lot in common with 

and for hearing Lauren speak inspiration into our hearts.

On the way home from Blugger Buzz, I could smell oil burning

I was able to pull over 3x on my way home.

We think its just too full now that we put more in it after the "bump" Sat.

Fingers crossed I get a loaner in the mean time.

Sunday, my husband took me out to Indian food and I hit up the JCrew sale at the oulets.

I scored 2 new pencil skirts and a bracelet

for less than 1/2 original price

AND in a size smaller than I was just 5 weeks ago.

As if I'm not a glutton, I stepped on the scale Sunday

I'm down 5.6 pounds since starting Whole 30!

Moral of the Story:

If you look hard enough, there is always a silver lining.

Maybe Mondays aren't so bad after all.
