What I'm reminiscing about............
I tried to make our Valentine's morning special for my daughter with her favorite breakfast and a little treat.
I also treated myself to a pair of socks and new Valentine earrings.
What I'm loving..............
I love when I have a meal plan :). I have had one the past few weeks and it helps me feel like I am managing our home a little better.
What we've been up to.............
My husband and I took a fun trip to Florence, Alabama over the weekend. It is a great place to visit for a day or so.
What I'm dreading..............
I mentioned this last month....taxes. We will see if I still mention it next month! On a positive note, the insurance I was dreading from last month has all been resolved.
What I'm working on..............
Taxes :(. I am also working on keeping up with work items and keeping the house clean.
What I'm excited about....................
While on our weekend away, we made a list of places we would like to travel as empty nesters.
What I'm watching/reading.................
I am reading Gently and Lowly and The Hard Good. These books will take me a while, but hey, I'm reading!
I'm not watching too much these days it seems. I try to watch one Hallmark movie a week, but I'm behind on that lately. We have watched a few episodes of Maid on Netflix, but it's hit or miss when we watch.
We did watch a documentary on the music of Muscle Shoals. If you have any interest in music, this is a very interesting doucmentary that is free on Amazon Prime, just for another 6 days. It talks about 2 famous recording studios there that brought some of the most famous musicians in the world.
What I'm listening to...................
There is a playlist on Spotify from the music of Muscle Shoals, which is good music, consisting of Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett.
I am also listening to my rundown of podcasts. The only new one I have added recently is First Thing, which is a 10 minute daily morning headline podcast.
What I'm wearing..................
It seems I'm wearing all the things.....still sweaters and jeans a lot, leggings and tunics and this week, rain gear!
What I'm doing this weekend...............
Time with a college roommate, lunch with a former co-worker, and dinner with friends from church and hopefully catching up on a Hallmark movie are all in my weekend plans.
What I'm looking forward to next month............
We are going to do a short spring break trip to see some friends at a cabin and hopefully at some point we can see my college girl.
What else is new................
I had my first dip manicure last week and am glad I finally did that. I needed some self-care and finally took some time to indulge.
Happy Wednesday friends!
I love when I know what we're having for dinner! It's such a simple thing...I just don't always meal plan. It's fun to dream about where you want to travel, isn't it? Hopefully you can make that work in the years to come! We talk about all this all the time as well and are easily inspired by shows on Netflix like Somebody Feed Phil. Have you watched that? I love your nails! Good for you, my friend. I hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nails and I love all your little valentine treats! I am definitely marking that meal down as we need lots of crock pot meals once track season starts. I'm dreading our taxes extra this year since we've been warned by our accountant that it will not be pretty for us with the sale of 2 businesses last year.... just hoping and praying and wanting to get it all behind us! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThose Valentine treats are sweet and I like your earrings, too. I bought a cute pair of earrings that were on sale after Valentine's Day. I know they are considered Valentine's earrings but I plan to wear them year round ;). Your upcoming plans sound nice. Your nails look great- love that neutral color.
ReplyDeleteThe valentine treats are so nice, and I'm glad you got some for yourself too. Soup and grilled cheese sounds perfect for the chilly weather we are having today. We need to make our empty nest bucket list too!
ReplyDeleteCute nails! Here's to finishing up those taxes...we just did and Woo Hoo! It feels great when that dreaded task is done!:)
ReplyDeleteA trip to a cabin sounds so fun! And we're always making travel lists around here. While we're a ways a way from being empty nesters (seven years or so!), it's so fun to dream about couples only trips!!!
