What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
We normally have a large family (overnight) gathering at our house for New Years holiday.
ReplyDeleteI got ready for it last year and then other extended family cancelled it (last minute, I had already cooked and cleaned, beds ready) because of work/health issues, precovid.
That was annoying and sad.
However, this year, I am okay with no one extra coming. It is like last year softened the blow.
We now have six of us here. My adult kids (after testing, quarantining, retesting) are all here. So that is plenty. Three are staying until at least spring. One may be going back to college in a few weeks.
Having filets on the grill and playing board games at my bestie's house. She and my kids are the only ones in my bubble. So look forward to a change of scenery. I have been doing my errands 1 a day just to get out of the house. Yay. Going to mail some letters at the drive up today. Bet you guys have some fun planned!
ReplyDeleteI have a mammogram scheduled at 7:30am and the hubs has to work, so I'll spend the day doing laundry and cleaning the house a bit. I have some sparkling grape juice a friend gave me that I might open. Neither one of us will make it to midnight, and an ice storm is predicted for New Year's Day, so we'll be holed up inside. If I'm smart, I'll make some soup!
