So far, so good with my "March" challenge to limit social media to only 15 minutes per day. Besides using the timer, I'm not imposing any other limits of when I can use it. So, most days I end up checking facebook several times during the morning-early afternoon. And then I run out of time… Continue reading 30 day challenges
1- Weather We had very mild temperatures this weekend, including a big thunderstorm on Saturday with some downpouring rain. It was nice, actually- felt like spring!! But then I walked out of my room this morning and saw this view out of the sunroom window: Wait, what?! I usually watch local weather report most days,… Continue reading Monday list
Yesterday morning I spent some time hashing out (or trying to...) some details for the "Rome" portion of our upcoming trip. We'll only be in Rome for a few days, which makes it a bit more important, in my opinion, to do at least some advance planning. only bought a pocket guide this time- shorter… Continue reading Trip planning/ advance tickets
This has just not been my week. I can't believe it's Friday already, but also am glad that it is. Monday- Tuesday were spent feeling crummy with my cold, which got significantly more unpleasant as Monday progressed. I've sneezed about 7,246 times this week. Tuesday I ended up logging off of work by 10 am… Continue reading Not my week/ March social media plans
Okay, I'm suuuuper tired right now because I am just getting over a cold AND I managed to wake up at like, 2:30 a.m. (after not going to bed until ~11:00 p.m....) and never fell back to sleep. 😩😩 (Why? Why? Why??!) But I'm feeling chipper enough to share something that has me really excited!… Continue reading Printing my blog into a book!
Gosh, it feels like it's been a while, which is so rare for me. We were gone all weekend (Friday --> Sunday night) for the Wisconsin State Championships swim meet and yesterday kind of felt like a whirlwind, too. My life feels a little weird right now. Our spring break trip is coming up very… Continue reading Checking in & good/bad list
I am grumpy this morning. However, I'm going to refrain from dumping my grumpiness into the blogosphere, because...well, I don't really see the point right now. All that might accomplish is spreading more grumpiness, and if you are not grumpy right now, I don't want to infect you with my grumpiness. 🙂 Besides, I already… Continue reading Grumpy
I was reading some discussion a couple weeks ago now on Elisabeth's blog in response to the question: "When you read, do you read every word, or do you skim the pages?" I was surprised/shocked/literally kind of appalled (dramatic response? maybe? but it's the truth!) to learn that apparently, there are at least a few… Continue reading Reading every word
Coco asked me yesterday how I'm planning to track "family" or "fun" activities (one of my goals for 2022). My planner (the Wonderland 222) has these quarterly pages in the front of the planner (see above). Last year, I didn't really end up using these pages too much. The monthly boxes are obviously quite small… Continue reading Tracking family activities
When I shared my Word of the Year last week, I commented that I'm very behind on all of these "new year" type posts. Oh well. Maybe it's not so bad- there's overload on the internet of that kind of stuff in early January, so I'm just helping to spread it out a little. :)… Continue reading 22 for 2022 List
