Celebrate the Small Things: 8 November

Greetings all and Happy Friday to you!

We are here to Celebrate The Small Things where the aim is simple: Celebrate whatever happenings of the week you would like, however big or small! Sign up on the linky, and celebrate with others on the linky!

My celebrations are:

  • I officially completed 'Couch to 5k' and ran 5km! Okay I had to use the 5 min warm up as well as the 30 min run, but I'm calling that a win!
  • I have a new gym programme from my gym instructor to help keep up my stamina.
  • I have handed over a difficult project at work to a colleague, which is a relief for me.
  • Something went wrong with dinner and I served my boyfriend COLD PEAS but we had a good laugh about it. I have a record in things going wrong with dinner. It's not as bad as the COLD POTATO incident.
  • It's FRIDAY. Nearly the weekend folks!


How about you and your celebrations?

Here is the linky:

  4. I have to complete in a 5k in Dec. It's not my first but it will be the first that I HAVE to run all the way through and I'm not thrilled about it. However my trainer is just over the moon about torturing me. Congrats!!

  6. Sometimes getting out from under it really helps. Glad you could hand that project off to your colleague. Dinner woes - something we all can relate to, I'm sure. And the weekend, bring it on...please and thank you with a cherry on top!

  7. Congrats on your 5K - that's great!!! Way to Go!
    And handing off a project is good.
    I don't try to impress my hubs with dinner anymore - I have a tendency to cook worse when I'm trying to impress - once I cooked a turkey upside down (don't even know how I did that), and another time I had a stove top fire going. So, I just try to cook "normal" and not worry about anything super special.

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  10. I was doing a few 5k's a week the first half of the year, then got sidetrack with book stress. I have to get back to it, I'm so glad you completed your first! Have fun with the new Gym routine.
    And good for you celebrating the cold peas :P

  11. Just received an email from #65 on list - catholic struggles. He's having some health problems right now and isn't able to participate. He'd like his blog removed from the list please.

  13. So awesome about the 5k. Congrats - you should be so proud! Cold peas are the least of my hubby's worries. I like to experiment, and I have more than my share of stories about cooking and "A series of unfortunate events..." as I preface explanations to hubby. lol

    1. As in: "A series of unfortunate events began when I put the danish under the oven grill to heat them up, resulting in a fire..." or ""A series of unfortunate events occurred when I thought I could substitute tomato paste for tomato sauce." (Turns out, you can't.)

  16. *woot*woot* 5k is terrific! I'm awed
    And cold peas are definitely better than cold potatoes - one could even claim it's a healthier way to eat them. ;)

  17. So proud of you for doing the 5K! Go you! And cold peas aren't so bad. Think of it as an unusual salad....

  18. Cold peas? That's nothing. I'll leave you to guess the difficulties we've been having with our crop of Jerusalem (f)artichokes.

  23. You had to mention the GYM! I have played hooky all week claiming it is too dark to get up at six. So, I am going to re-read your celebration for a shot in the arm. Meantime, thanks for the kick to--somewhere else. It's amazing how all these celebrations tend to inspire in many different ways. Thank you for this blog!
