What’s Up Wednesday

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while and thought it would be fun this week! January felt like it lasted roughly 900 years this year and I’m frankly glad it’s almost over. I usually embrace the coziness of winter but this year I’m just not loving it. Onto February!

What We’re Eating

I started Noom (more on this later) back on 1/10. One thing I love about it is the fact that it does not demonize carbs. While I’m certainly someone who does need to watch her carb intake, sometimes a girl just needs some pasta.. And these spicy peanut noodles are EVERYTHING… They’re healthy-ish and Jim liked them so much that he brought some home for the next day’s lunch.

What I’m Reminiscing About:

An unconventional Christmas that was still full of blessings. Many people were sick but that didn’t mean that we weren’t able to get some quality time in after everyone was better! So thankful.

And, of course, I’m also reminiscing about our annual cookie swap from last month!

What I’m Loving:

Embracing every single chance I can to get down to Old Town. I had forgotten how much I love it there and C*vid has made MoCo and DC unbearable… One positive is that it’s reminded me how great Old Dominion is!

What We’ve Been Up To:

Mall walks, a lot of work, lunches with friends and purging (thank you, Marie Kondo…)

What I’m Dreading:

I decided to be a woman of my word and schedule about five doctors appointments over the next month… And words cannot express how much I’m NOT looking forward to them!

What I’ve Been Working On:

I’m taking a class on business building for my LLC and I’m working to update my blog… Oh, and I’m also taking on more clients and doing some consulting for a startup… and am pretty much exhausted by the time Thursday night rolls around… But I love it!

What I’m Excited About:

We’re doing a family Easter trip to Florida and I can’t WAIT! I almost never let myself take long breaks anymore and I’m doing it this year! We’ll go to the beach, rent a pontoon, have nice dinners out, veg by the pool and have some good family time.

What I’m Watching/Reading:

I’ve read/listened to sooo many good books… Stay tuned for a post dedicated to recent reads, but here are two of my favorites.

What I’m Listening To:

I’m a very “seasonal” person in that I switch up how I eat, what I listen to and how my condo looks.. This is almost constantly on my Echo this time of year.

What I’m Wearing:

It’s been freezing here so I’m absolutely living in these Microfleece Pullovers. They look like Dudley Stephens but are a quarter of the price.. and, dare I say, just as good quality. Size up. I own it in (I kid you not) nine different colors and have figured out various ways to style them. Perhaps a Microfleece post is in order…

What I’m Doing this Weekend:

We were considering sneaking away to Florida this weekend but it doesn’t look like that makes much sense given the quick turnaround. So, we’re likely going to head to a brewery or winery with some friends.

What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month:

Jim and I joined a skeeball team and I’m excited to get to know our teammates! We had our first “match” this week and they seem like cool people! Go Shot-Skees!
