Yesterday was a very typical, regular day. Perhaps could be seen as "boring", to some. But I was thinking (during my Les Mills Core class at 6:15 last night (fitness class #3 of the year so far! Aiming for average of 2/ month and so far hitting that goal), I like regular days. I mean,… Continue reading I like regular days
January 31st! One whole month down of 2025. I mean, actually, this is pretty accurate! Haha. So far, I'm happy overall with my progress on my goals. Yes, as always happens, some of that New Year Energy started to wane a bit around the midway point. (Apparently January 10th is officially "Quitter's Day", i.e. when… Continue reading January 2025 recap
Good news! This past weekend I finally sat down and did a marathon London planning session! On the negative flip side, it ended up completely dominating literally my entire day and into the evening (and I ended up ignoring other things I needed to do). Oh well, I guess. I mean, I needed to find… Continue reading London planning- officially underway
Work has been SO BUSY lately that I have been more excited than usual when the weekends roll around. I mean, things are going well at work overall and much of the work is very interesting and engaging, but it's just very go-go-go all day long. And some days seem to stretch later than I… Continue reading Weekend and a little work mystery
I'm sitting here on an extra DAY OFF (yes!!) feeling quite literally and figuratively frozen at the moment. I mean, it's perfectly warm in my house, thankfully, because my phone says it is -5F outside with a "feels like" temp of -12F. So it is literally freezing, but I'm actually feeling frozen in terms of… Continue reading Feeling frozen… literally and figuratively
Adventures in thrifting: Last night I volunteered at Asher's weekly swim team pasta dinner again. Each family has to do it twice, and back in November at the Parents Meeting, I astutely signed up for two post-Christmas dinners. This was a very good decision, because although I still didn't particularly "feel" like making 6 lbs… Continue reading I thrifted! and “choose the suck”
TGIF, ya'll.... this was my first full week of work in a bit due to the holidays/vacation days, and let's just say, it came to PLAY. 😳 But I want to keep going in my goals series! The 3rd domain is next: Kids/Family. 1. Spend a minimum of 1x/ week quality time with each of… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Kids/Family
Our Year: 2024 January Rang in the new year in Mexico! Hiked the Toluca Volcano and met our baby niece. Started a new lifting program! (Momentum by Sohee). Worked on pull-ups (still terrible at them). Dabbled in running...? (quit). Lots of work changes. Helped boys plan high school courses! Bathroom remodel continues. Watched a lot… Continue reading 2024 Rapid-Fire Year in Review
I'm officially on my little "Christmas break!" YAY! It's nothing too much, really. Well, 5 days, I guess. I'm off today through the 25th. I just work Thursday and Friday next week. The following week I have off Monday the 30th and January 1st, so I only work 3 days that week (and NYE will… Continue reading Snowy Saturday before Christmas + goals contemplation
Wow, I last posted on 12/10 (and sorry, I never responded to everyone's great and very helpful comments about my gift buying process dilemma! I read every single one and am appreciative of the great ideas from all!). This week has been BUSY!!! 'Tis the season, right? So what have I been doing instead of… Continue reading Busy busy… why I was MIA for 8 days
