1. What we're eating this week
Hello Fresh Mediterranean Salmon and Sweet Chili and Soy-glazed Meatballs.
We went out yesterday (Mexican) because our hot water heater stopped working and so we are trying to minimize dirty dishes. We are also going out on Sunday for the girls' birthday and probably getting take-out on Friday. The other two nights this week will probably be spaghetti and stir-fry.
2. What I'm reminiscing about
The girls turn 13 on Sunday, so naturally I've been reminiscing about when they were little.
3. What I'm loving
Nothing in particular at the moment. Still loving working from home and all the new furniture/decor/home improvements that one day I'll get around to blogging more about.
4. What We've Been Up To
Getting our new curtains hung in the living room and planning our summer vacations. We are hoping to finally go to Branson, MO (we were supposed to go last summer) but that's still a little up in the air due to COVID (we want to make sure that things will be open and if there is reduced capacity we want to be sure we will be able to get in/get tickets, etc., relatively easily to things like Silver Dollar City and museums). We are also planning a trip to Orlando--Disneyworld and all that--and that will probably happen for sure. We were going to go to Kauai, Hawaii, but Alaska Airlines is not flying there at the moment (could change before then but probably not), plus we'd have to take COVID tests and all that, so we decided on Orlando instead. Florida in August does not appeal (can't stand the heat and humidity) but oh well, as we are limited to when we can travel because of school, obviously.
5. What I'm Dreading
As I mentioned above, our water heater is not working at the moment, so I am dreading being without hot water for however many days it might take to get it fixed/replaced.
6. What I'm Working On
Still working on selling off my Breyer model horse collection on Ebay and making progress. Still on the project list is purging/organizing room by room but haven't made much progress on that.
7. What I'm Excited About
The above-mentioned trips this summer.
8. What I'm Watching/Reading
Watching: The Bachelor, This is Us, Yellowstone, Cobra Kai, the occasional HGTV show.Reading: Almost done with Winter in Paradise and then going to start The Other Woman.
9. What I'm Listening To
The Audiobook of Crazy Rich Asians and as for music, just whatever. Mostly rock, pop, alternative, Top 40 or indie.
10. What I'm Wearing
I am living in this hoodie from Torrid. It's SUPER soft and cozy and the fit is great. If they had more colors I would buy a few more but they don't.
11. What I'm Doing This Weekend
Sunday is the girls' 13th birthday! We are going out for an early dinner to the Cheesecake Factory with Paul's parents. As for Saturday, Paul and the girls will probably go skiing, but there's a good chance one or both of them will decide not to go. I will work on my purging and hopefully get in some scrapbooking or work on a puzzle or something fun and relaxing like that.
12. What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month
Well...I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but there is talk of the middle and high schoolers actually returning part-time to in-person school! Like, two days per week. I'll take it, if it actually happens, but I'm not holding my breath. We finally have all the K-3rd graders back part-time (and people can opt to stay remote if they want) and next up is 4th and 5th, then middle and high school. We'll see!
13. What Else is New
Not a darn thing.
