This week I am being positive!
It hasn't been a great week, but then it hasn't particularly been a bad week either and I'm thinking there are people going through a lot worse than I am so I need to be grateful for what I have.
If you didn't know already, it is the last week of term (for some) and I am really looking forward to the Easter holidays. I haven't got much planned as yet but I hope to spend some time with friends who I don't make enough of an effort to see! I also want to take the kids out on a few day trips, do some crafting and sort the garden. I'm actually quite excited about giving my house a spring clean! (it really needs it)
I know its a bit of a weird time of year to try and lose weight... particularly for a chocoholic, but I'm hoping to lose half a stone before my birthday which is around 6 weeks time. I have never been a gym type of girl but hopefully a few sessions of 'Just dance' on the Xbox Kinect will whip me into shape... along with getting good use out of my juicer rather than raiding the cupboard for biscuits.
For your information the word ebullient means overflowing with enthusiasm and excitement and high spirited.
It comes from the Latin word ebullientem meaning to burst out, to bubble. It was first recorded in 1660s

I learned so many things after reading this entry. That its going to vacation time again and the meaning of the word ... Ebullient. Hopefully ill use this word more often from this time on. #wotw
ReplyDeleteIts great learning new things...shame I didn't realise that when I was at school ;)
DeleteLoving your word! Sounds like you are overflowing with enthusiasm, and I'm excited for you! Hope you have a fab Easter break and good luck with the weight loss. I used to love those dance games on the XBox but haven't done them for a long time. I'm sure when the kids are a bit older and into them, I'll join in ;-) Thanks for sharing with #WotW
ReplyDeleteThanks Jocelyn, after the amount I spend on computer games its nice that I can benefit from it as well! Hope you have a lovely break too :)
DeleteGreat word sounds perfect for you this week. Think I could do with some of your enthusiasm really been lacking in that department lately #WotW
ReplyDeleteI think im most excited about turning off the alarm clock for 18 whole days! I know what you mean though, ive been very up and down lately. Hope you're feeling better soon x
DeleteSounds like you're going to dance ebulliently to your birthday! #wotw
ReplyDeleteI will be, but I better save a bit of energy for the partying! ;)
DeleteFab word! I think April'll do that for you - the extra light, the sunshine, the budding, blossoming world - it just lifts your spirits and makes you feel more positive somehow I find! #WotW
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, its definitely my favourite time of year!
DeleteWhat a great word! I have also spring cleaned my house, its the perfect time of year for it and you feel great after. Good luck with the weight loss x
ReplyDeleteI've got so much clearing out to do but hopefully 2 weeks will be enough time to do it! :)
DeleteLove your choice of word, it's nice to see something a bit different and so positive. Good luck with it all. #WotW
ReplyDeleteThank you, trying to be positive while giving up cake and chocolate isn't so easy ;)
