This week I've been much better about not turning to food as a source of comfort during times of stress. {Yay me!} And with the help of a pair of new (to me) workout videos, I've been giving myself a nice break from the stress. At least for an hour or so, which is better than nothing. :o)

Junk food's been non-existent {double yay me!}, although that'll probably be shot to the four winds this weekend as it's Abby's 11th birthday on Saturday, followed by her party on Sunday. My mom and Sierra whipped up a HUGE batch of my mother's famous peanut butter balls {chocolaty dipped, peanut buttery goodness that tastes far better than a Reese's...no joke!} for the party, and of course there's going to be plenty of cake/cupcakes as well. {Shakes fist at the sky: "Blast you, vile chocolate and your irresistibleness!"}Therefore, next week's check in will not be anywhere near as awesome as this one. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Moving on!

I'd like to take a moment and thank you all for your sweet words of encouragement and prayers. My hubby's still looking for a full time job, but--Praise God!--he was able to secure a couple of computer repair jobs to keep us afloat through the remainder of the month. Woohoo!

The one networking job is for an office building in downtown Seattle, which I later learned was none other than Zulily.com. Ever hear of it? It's an awesome children's clothing deal site for moms. {Seriously, the deals are amazing. Check 'em out if you haven't already done so!}

This was so cool because:
1) I obviously know about and love Zulily,
2) they're located in Seattle and I hadn't noticed that before (duh), and
3) the guy he's working for is super-cool as is the company. Dean said it looked as though everyone was having a blast just being there. {Which is really saying something for a work environment, ya know?} Anyway, I just wanted to share that.

Well, that's about it for me this week. Like I said, next week's check will not be as cool with all the chocolate staring me down. But I am confident I shall not overindulge. Enjoy, yes. But not to excess. ;-)

How was your week?????
