What's Up Wednesday - 1/31/2024

 




Happy last day of January!  This seemed like the longest, darkest, coldest month.  I don't think Rochester experienced more than 5 days of sun the entire month. BRUTAL!  Here is to hoping February is much better!


Like last month, I am linking up with 2 of my favorite bloggers, Sheaffer and Shay  


1.  What have we been up to?

SPORTS!

We are doing travel baseball and travel soccer this year.  It's going to be a crazy spring and summer. This weekend we had our first soccer tournament. The club Derek plays for hosted it.  The boys played all day Saturday and the girls on Sunday.  The outcome of his 3 games wasn't what we wanted; but the boys have come along way.  Derek is very competitive, and he was getting very frustrated.  It was a good lesson in teamwork and being able to move on from experiences.  Always a teaching moment!





We also enjoyed Reading With The Amerks (AHL local hockey team) at the library.  They put this event on every year and it's wonderful.  The player reads a hockey related story, brings all the "gear" for a kiddo to try on, signed autographs, free kids' tickets to a game, and goodie bags!  I honestly thought the kids wouldn't want to go this year, but they were shocked that I would even think that they WOULDN'T want to.  So, off we went! I am so glad we did.





2.  What am I dreading?

More winter and planning summer camp schedules for the summer.... daunting task


3. What am I looking forward to?

Cruise that we have coming up!  Warm weather, wonderful food, entertainment and sunshine!  I can't wait!


4. What am I working on?

This weekend I need to focus on the yearbook for my daughter's school.  I can't get started and I know once I do, I will be fine... it is just that first step... log in.

Also, writing performance reviews for work. I have 24 to write and it is a daunting task. I made it into a game. I listed out how many I have to write each week to complete them all a week before they are do.  So far, I am "winning" at my imaginary game, and I am ahead of schedule.


Short and sweet this month!

Have a great week!  Don't forget to stop back on Monday for an inspirational quote to kick off the week!

50+ Word of the Year Ideas

Happy New Year! I hope you are starting the new year rejuvenated from the holidays!  I am so glad you are here and joining me on this corner of the internet.  Welcome! I love the start of a New Year.  It's a fresh start, clean slate and a chance to take a look at the year ahead.   In the last post , I talked about how I don't make New Years Resolutions.  Instead, I decide on a WORD.  I think of what I want the year to look like. How I want to shape decisions and what I want to accomplish.   This year I chose....... I want to be more consistent in many aspects of my life.  I am printing this image and putting it on my desk at work and next to my bed.   Have you thought of a word?   If you want to do a word of the year instead of a resolution, I compiled over 50+ words and definitions for you!  Take a look below to help you think of what you want this year to look like/focus on.  You can always pick one for yo...

January Book Review

Welcome back to our monthly book review. This is the post where I share the books I read last month, rate them and share the jacket summary.  I hope you are able to find a few new books to add to your reading list! However.... This month was a struggle for me.  On average I read about 4-5 books a month.  If I don't like a book, or can't get into it, I stop reading.  Life is too short to read a book that doesn't hold my interest.  That happened more this month than ANY month, in the last 3 years where I have been tracking what I read.  I must have started and stopped 4 books. I just couldn't not get past the first couple chapters.  It was a struggle for sure.   This month, I read a series on Kindle Unlimited that I will only count as 1 book.   I'll explain more below.   The Christmas Retreat By Grace Meyers   My rating: 4/5 My comments:  This was a 6 book series.  The books were about 70 pages long....

December Book Review.... AND full list from 2023

 Welcome to my favorite post of the month - BOOK REVIEW!   Going forward this post will be the first Wednesday of the month.  This month was different because of the word of the year post last week.  In December I technically read 5 books.  However, the books in the Asheville series were short and quick reads.  Honestly, they could have been combined to make one long book.  So, without any more chatter, below are the books I read in December. Hissy Fit by Mary Kay Andrews My Rating: 3.5 / 5 Back of book: The night before her wedding, in the middle of an oh-so-smart rehearsal dinner, interior decorator Keeley Murdock chances upon her fiancé and maid of honor in flaming flagrante delicto. Keeley throws the hissy fit to end all hissy fits, storms out and earns herself instant notoriety in her tiny hometown of Madison, GA. The next day, though, she has to deal not only with a broken engagement but also with her business being shut out by folks in a t...
