Happy Monday! Exciting news today... I was SHU's featured guest this week on her podcast, Best Laid Plans!! She was looking to interview someone who plans exclusively digitally these days, and she asked me! See the show notes on Sarah's blog. It's true- I really have moved almost 100% digitally now. And after a lot of… Continue reading I was on a podcast! And quick Monday check in.
I woke up this morning with many things rolling around in my head that I wanted to do. I've actually struggled with this in general lately on the weekends- lots of random things to do, but none of them necessarily time sensitive, exactly, or urgent. So, on some "free" weekends like this one (i.e. not… Continue reading A Numerical List Style Saturday
1. Daily Stoic I saved a little snip in Google Keep (my Second Brain... 😉 ) the other day from the Daily Stoic newsletter. It was titled "It's Cheap To Be Dead". The gist was that some people take penny pinching, frugality, "investing for the future" and "saving for retirement" to the extreme. And for… Continue reading Friday 5!
Sorry for the radio silence over here... not sure where the last ~5 days went! My parents came to town Friday night (and are actually still here as we speak). We hadn't seen them since early December, which, as any faithful readers know, is a LONG time for me to go without seeing my parents.… Continue reading A belated 2023 Christmas celebration…finally feels like the new year
A general focus for me so far in 2024 has been to work on FIXING and SIMPLIFYING things that are persistent problems. I've had this nagging feeling for a long time now that many things in my life are mildly "out of sorts". Some areas just need a good declutter, yes. But others are minor issues… Continue reading Fixing/ simplifying things + a little Second Brain talk
Last night Asher and I attended a Course Expo at the high school to learn about the various course offerings. His course selections for high school next year are due tomorrow already! It's hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that I will have two kids in high school next year. WHAT?! Asher… Continue reading High school x2?!
Ohhhh I want this weekend to just keep going on!!! I liked this weekend so much. Friday was the big snow day, so although I worked, it had a "let's all just hunker down" feel. Then no work or school for any of us Saturday, Sunday OR today! (MLK Jr. Day Holiday) I feel like… Continue reading A perfect week and can the long weekend please continue?
Father Winter sure stopped by this week around here. I don't know the exact totals, but something in the 8 inch range on Tuesday, and yesterday into today we got hammered with another ~12 inches. I envision a wintery, mythical creature like this waving a snow wand over Wiconsin: I've been generally feeling it! Yes,… Continue reading Snowy snowy Saturday…
I shared my fitness goals the other day, which are going well so far EXCEPT for one thing. My "do morning workouts" goal was based on the idea that it is the one time slot in the day that I can generally always count on. Everyone else is sleeping, there's no soccer practice then, etc.… Continue reading (Attempted) morning derailment….
This title perhaps sounds grander than it really is, because I don't have any crazy big goals for 2024. (I mean, I'm not trying to qualify for the Boston marathon like someone I know is! 😉 SO excited for her on this, by the way!) My fitness main goals are: 1. Keep strength training regularly.… Continue reading Fitness goals for 2024 and new strength program
