I haven't linked up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday in forever (haven't posted at all in forever until yesterday) so here goes:
What We're Eating This Week
Lots of junk (Christmas cookies, 4-layer delight, chocolate). Actually, that was more last week but still finishing things off this week. It's mostly all gone so hopefully back on track next week, or at least on Monday the 4th.
What I'm Reminiscing About
Travel
and our annual NYE party at our friends' that won't be taking place this year. We have been going there for NYE every year since 2012 but because of COVID we won't be going this year. It's always a super fun, low-key gathering with the kids playing upstairs and the grown-ups hanging out downstairs drinking, playing games, watching funny YouTube videos or just visiting, then we all watch the ball drop at Midnight (on tape delay since we're on the West Coast) and the kids shoot silly string and do all kinds of noise makers and those popper things. Then we all help clean up the mess and head home, only having like .75 miles to drive give or take. This year, it will just be the 4 of us hanging out at home, ordering take out in support of a local restaurant and playing games.
What I'm Loving
We just did a bunch or home improvements--new floors, new carpet upstairs, new living room furniture and the whole interior painted. I'm planning a post or two dedicated to that in the near future. I'm particularly loving my new media cabinet and lamp from Wayfair.
What We've Been Up To
Christmas, and still trying to get all our pictures re-hung, etc. from all the recent projects.
What I'm Dreading
Getting on the scale on January 1st? Other than that, the only thing I can think of is more storms, as I work for a electric utility and have to work storm duty when there are many storm-related power outages. But since COVID, I get to do it from home so it's not so bad.What I've Been Working On
Just still trying to get the house back in order after all the recent projects. Next month I'll definitely be working on weight loss, eating healthier, and reading more.
What I'm Excited About
I'm always excited about a fresh start at the beginning of the year. Also, I'm very much looking forward to some future travel and the kids going back to in-person school someday...maybe...
What I'm Watching/Reading
I'm always a few step behind all the new shows. Like, by the time I get around to watching something most people will have already been watching it for months. I had been hearing great things about Yellowstone, so I finally watched the first episode a week or so ago. It was good, but I wasn't riveted like I was led to believe I would be. Being a former horse girl and having farming in my blood I totally appreciate the whole western/ranching vibe, though. Plus, I've always liked Kevin Costner. I'm definitely going to give it a chance and continue watching. My current favorite right now though is A Million Little Things, and then I've also been watching This is Us and New Amsterdam. And of course the Bachelorette but that just ended.As for reading, I'm currently reading a Johnny Depp biography that I have had for years and never read.
