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!

Happy Nail Polish Day! - June 1

Who knew this day existed?!?!  I sure didn't and apparently this is the first year.  Essie started it, doesn't matter, I am happy to celebrate with them. I love nail polish.  I love the variety of colors and the way it completes an outfit.  I love the confidence it gives me of a polished, put together look. I never used to wear it as much as I do now. What changed was an amazing product that my Mom found as well as a cool new trick I discovered.    Now I do my nails in my sleep.  Literally! It's not rocket science but if you stop and think about it, it's actually a genius idea.  My nails dry in my sleep.  I get ready for bed, grab my magazine or book and the polish and top coat I want to use.  I read a while ago you only need about 10 minutes between coats. It is actually true.  Years ago I always thought it was longer so doing my nails literally took over an hour if not more.  Who has that amount of time? ...

WHATS UP WEDNESDAY - 3/27/24

What a month! The weather has been crazy, snow and 60's!  I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind and stick to it!  But I think we are on the upswing and getting warming.  Bring on the sun and flip flops! Let's dive in! 1. WHAT AM I LOVING?      If you know me for a while you know I don't listen or watch the news.  However, I recently found Yodel on Yahoo! It's perfect for me. It's emailed to be every morning at 8:30 with the top few headlines and a few bullets underneath to summarize what I need to know.  It's the perfect quick read!  Check it out: Yodel What else I am loving is Girl Scout cookies!  They arrived and I loved watching her organize them all and bag them with people's names.  We are off to deliver this week!  Support your Girl Scouts whenever you can! If you needed more motivation.... here is wine paring with your Girl Scout cookies! 2.  WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO Miss Curly and I did an Easter craft!...

What's Up Wednesday - 11/29/2023

In my quest to blog more frequently, I am linking up with Shay and Sheaffer on the last Wednesday of the month.  Make sure you check out their blogs as well. I have been reading both of them for years and they are 2 of my favorites.  I love reading blogs and to me it's an escape from reality.  It's like talking to a girlfriend and taking a sneak peek into their lives, closet and home.   I have always wanted to blog.  I typically wrote a post every 6 months so right now I am pretty horrible, and no one reads.  But, in 2024 my goal is consistency.  Stay tuned, maybe someday you will be saying my blog is your favorite.  That would be music to my ears! Here is what we have been up to lately. 1.  Thanksgiving  I sat on the couch at my brother and sister in laws after a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  It came to me, if you host or cook Thanksgiving, you are truly an angel.  You welcome people into your homes, cook, entertain and ...
