It's been an off week for me, and I'm okay with that. It started with a trip to the dentist on monday where I sat in the chair for over an hour to have three fillings put in right in a row. Pretty thankful for that, but when did tooth colored fillings get so expensive? Almost $300 for three. I need to take better care of my teeth. That's not to say that I don't brush, I just don't really think about it after my morning brush. That's an expensive habit not to have.

They questioned what I drink, soda? sweet tea? no and no. A good habit I'm actually consistent about: drinking water all the time.

Then I got sick. It kind of snuck up on me Tuesday. I was feeling fatigue and my throat was scratchy. By the time I made it home, I just holed up on the couch  while a fever took it's course. This has gone from my throat to my head and now I'm still fighting a cold and fatigue.

I was supposed to go to WV this weekend for a jewelry open house, but with being sick and the 10+ inches of snow that came down Friday night, that did not happen.

And finally put our first bid on a house. Truth be told, the most exciting part of this house for us is the extra studio space we would each have. His a 20x30 steal building for his recording studio and mine a converted garage with a sink and lots of light. It even has a front door with a doorbell to the "studio". As for the rest of the house, it needs work. It was built in '74 by the same guy living in it now. If I met this guy randomly I'd give him an old issue of Domino just as an FYI that people aren't putting moss green carpet in their homes anymore. Or those creepy craft-show faceless children that some people were putting in the corner of their porches in the 80's.

He doesn't understand that while yes people are moving to Floyd, rich people seems to be the rumor, we are not them or that desperate. His asking price would be a huge ripoff for us considering the work, yet he is not coming down on his asking price by more than a couple of inches. What's wrong with people?

If I met him I'd say "hey mister Q, do you think that if you, oh I don't know, cleaned your SHOWER, and picked up all your crap (there are clown masks on the wall, i wish i were joking) and maybe put in new carpet, and a stove, and a new roof then yes ask what you are asking minus 10k would be reasonable, anything else is an insult to basic real estate intelligence." But, that won't happen so I say it here.

And that is the current status of our home buying. Unless his realtor knocks sense into him, it's time to start looking again. It's slim pickings in these parts.

I am 3 lbs. away from this months goal and have not had the energy to exercise all week. My little GoWear Fit armband tally looks like someone who hardly ever moved this week. Small activity spikes to the bathroom or getting dressed. I've not had the energy to cook so I've been eating little more than frozen pizza, albeit not overeating...silver lining!

So this post isn't to complain, just to reflect how sometimes things don't happen the way we plan and that's okay. The truth is, I needed to slow down this week. To do nothing and be okay with that. I'm ready to get in the shower today, put on clean clothes and keep going.

I have so many posts coming:

1. My goal for Lent

2. My two week GoWear Fit Review

3. A ton of product reviews

4. My end of the month weigh-in

And just getting back in the swing of blogging daily again. So here we go...

Oh! For those who have been asking I will be debuting my jewelry online tomorrow at 8am I will put a link here and on twitter (@thetokenfatgirl or @lorriebee). Thank you for your kind words about my necklaces!
