Hope you all had a great holiday! I have enjoyed taking a break off for the holidays, but will get caught up soon on a Christmas update. Until then, I am posting for the last What's Up Wednesday of 2020, even if there isn't a link-up today!
What we're eating this week..........
Monday - pesto shrimp pasta at a friend's house
Tuesday - leftovers
Wednesday - Hawaiian BBQ Chicken in the slow cooker
Thursday - New Year's Eve meal: BBQ sausage, cheese & crackers, deviled eggs, sausage balls, cookies
Friday - New Year's Day: ham, black eyed peas, cornbread, leftover NYE food :)
What I'm reminiscing about...........
My reminiscing would be the normalcy of this time last year. Just not knowing what 2020 would hold and makes me wonder about 2021. I take refuge in knowing the Lord has gone before us though!
What I'm loving............
I love having flexibility with my schedule. I love being able to help when needed and spend time with friends and family.
What we've been up to.............
I feel like we have been up to eating lately :). While the eating has been fun, it has been a lot. Other than holiday eating, we have spent some family time together and these days seem to fly by so fast.
What I'm dreading...........
My immediate thought is just taking down the Christmas tree. I normally have it down by New Years, but am leaving it up since we have company coming this week.
What I'm working on...............
I am working on Quick books for our family business and will be doing the January routine of organizing and getting rid of stuff. My goodness, little things add up and I don't want to have stuff everywhere or every drawer/cabinet full.
I am on a job search for a part time job in 2021, so would appreciate prayers for that. As some of you know, I worked full time as a travel agent, but was placed on furlough last March. Since the rebound has been slow for corporate travel, it is time to look elsewhere.
What I'm excited about...............
I am excited about the thought of doing some traveling in 2021!
We have a quick trip in January via car, an air reservation for March and hoping to make a reservation soon for travel in May.
What I'm watching/reading.................
We just finished season 2 of Virgin River and are big fans of that show. Other shows I am watching is All Rise and finishing up some Hallmark Christmas movies.
Reading is my goal for 2021. Unfortunately, I am not much of a reader. I have begun reading more the past few months though and have a stack of books I would love to read in 2021.
What I'm listening to..................
Well, now that Christmas music is a thing of the past for the next 10 months, I am back to my regular programmed stations :). My music preferences being anything from 80's, 80-90's country, Christian music or Harry Styles.
What I'm wearing..............
Most days, due to all the eating, I am wearing leggings and a sweater :).
What I'm doing this weekend..............
My in-laws will be in town, so we will try to find some outings or movies to watch while they are here.
What I'm looking forward to next month..............
My husband and I have a quick road trip next month, so looking forward to time away.
What else is new...............
I do have a prayer request for my niece. This is my niece who is the mom of my greats. She is currently expecting another baby, but the baby has a genetic condition which will likely take his life at birth or soon thereafter. Please join me in praying for a miracle for the baby's development in the womb for the genetic abnormalities and other defects. She will return to the doctor in 5 weeks for an update.
Please go to her instagram for more updates and pray for a miracle: nicolevcole
