5 good things and 5 bad things

Here are some of the things that happened to me this year. 5 good, 5 bad.

Good:
1) Increasing my page views on my blog each month for the past few months.
2) Moving house - a whole new place to decorate!
3) Managing to not be entirely broke after moving house so that I can put some money towards my wedding next year.
4) Getting engaged.
5) Staying sane. Just.

Bad:
1) Neglecting my "lists" for seven whole months. Ooops.
2) Losing the friendship of someone that I had been friends with for seven or eight years.
3) Getting the noro virus and feeling like death.
4) All my friends getting married and pregnant but not me.
5) Quiting the gym after not losing a single pound in weight!

7 Things I have wondered recently

1) Can spiders drown? Do they have lungs?
2) How long can a spider go without food?
3) How can you need the loo and be thirsty at the same time?
4) Why is the gym so busy on a Wednesday night?
5) Why haven't male penguins evolved to fly? They walk miles every winter to feed their young...they could just fly!
6) What would happen if you managed to keep your eyes open when you sneeze? Would your eyeballs explode?
7) Why is the number 7 so popular as a lucky number?

6 Reasons (excuses) why I haven't gone to the gym this evening

1) I'm mentally and physically tired (roll on holiday in 17 days)
2) I was really hungry when I left work and I can't work out on an empty stomach
3) I can go tomorrow as I finish earlier on a Sunday and will have more time
4) It's not like I'm going to magically get skinny in 17 days so it's not the end of the world
if I don't go
5) Take Me Out was on at 8pm and I hadn't watched last nights New Girl either
6) I just didn't go!!! OK??
