Thinking | I haven't really set any resolutions or picked a word for the new year. However, I made a conscience decision at the end of last year to scale back. I was stretching myself too thin and was getting burned out. Instead of being on three booster organizations, I am a part of one. Instead of volunteering everyday at the elementary school, I only go once a week. I'm setting goals for knitting projects, journaling, books to read. I've even decided to try doing a photo-a-day via the prompts from Fat Mum Slim again. I guess 2018 will be a year for me to refill my own cup.
Eating | I found some chicken leg quarters on sale for $0.49 a pound! You had to buy a 10 pound bag, but still a deal. I separated it all out, froze some, and then made this yummy garlic roasted recipe. We love some garlic up in this house.
Reading | American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I'm making good progress by reading at least one chapter every night before going to bed.
Watching | The X-Files is back! I watched the first episode and wasn't very excited by it unfortunately.
Weather | Cold. Very cold. We have had a solid two weeks of temperatures that have not risen above (or even near) freezing. My electric bill is going to be astronomical.
On My Needles | I finished my ear warmer. I haven't really decided on a new project yet. Though I do need to get started on one soon. I've set myself a goal of finishing 10 projects this year.
Photo A Day Week
1. I Am Here. My front door.
2. Yellow. I work as a school bus monitor so this prompt was easy peasy.
3. On the Floor. Our monster of a puppy, Luther the Licker (because he licks EVERYTHING).
4. Plain. I mentioned it has been very cold here. I didn't have boots so the bus driver gifted me with a pair that she didn't wear. My toes have been grateful.
5. Stacked. We got a few tiny little flurries that stacked up on cars briefly.
6. Happy Place. Who doesn't get happy for chips and salsa?!
I am always so proud of your commitment to the Photo a Day challenges. You know I always blow it. Haha!
ReplyDeleteYeah... on my second week and I've missed a day. The prompt was "floral" and like... it's the dead of Winter. No floral doing here! Haha!
