Hello and Happy Monday!!!!!
And just like that we're on the last Monday of January 2025.
February is going to be bitter-sweet for me. Yes, we've (almost) made it through January, but on Sunday, February 2nd my little Groundhog Baby turns 18 years old! Where have the years gone? The hubby and I will have our 25th dating anniversary in March, Kaylee turns 24 in June and Laken is days away from being 18. Our little family is grown up and I'm feeling a bit emotional thinking about it...so...
Let's get this show on the road :)
The weather outside is:
A touch warmer than last week. Actually, a lot warmer than last week...lol! Schools in our area were either closed or delayed for 3 days last week due to the cold temperatures. Well, I guess I should say schools were "virtual".
On today's to-do list:
**I'm typing this on Sunday afternoon/evening (for reference).**
I work 10a-5p. Other than that it should be a fairly normal day of trying to get back into the routine of the week.
Happening this week:
I work Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10a-5p.
Wednesday is my SIL, Kelly's, birthday. Any ideas what I can give to her as a birthday gift?
Thursday evening is zoom meeting night for the Good for the Soul Women's Book Club. I have a whole post about our February 2025 book selection, you can check that out HERE. But first, I have to finish listening to January's book!
Saturday, we'll be celebrating Laken's birth. We're thinking of getting dressed up and taking her out to a nice restaurant in the evening.
Sunday, we'll be celebrating Laken's birthday. I'm not sure what we'll do on her actual birthday other than have cake at Church for her. Any good ideas?
Currently reading:
I wrote on Friday's "My Weekly Bookishness" post that I've finally discovered listening to audio-books. "The Librarian of Boone's Hollow" by Kim Vogel Sawyer is my first ever audio-book. It is the January 2025 book club selection and as I mentioned above, I need to finish it before 8pm on Thursday. I only have a few more hours to listen to so I "think" I'll make it.
Listening to:
"Oh Death" by MercyMe debuted on KLOVE radio a few days ago and they played it every hour at the top of the hour. I love it! Let me know what you think. Enjoy :)
Watching:
NFL Championship games. By the time you read this it will probably be decided what teams will be playing in the Super Bowl. At this point, 5:06pm on Sunday, it isn't looking good for my nephew's team the Commanders. They are down 15-27.
The hubby has recommended that I catch up on the past 2 seasons of "Reacher" so that I can watch season 3 with him when it airs. I've 2 episodes in and look forward to watching more.
In the Kitchen:
I haven't spent much time in the kitchen creating this past week but Laken and Nate made Cookie Monster Cookies. They, of course, were blue :)
In the Craft Basket:
I've been working away in my "off" time on items for the Spring Fling Vendor show happening in the beginning of April. Last week I completed all 16 Mabel Chickens that I wanted to get made. 4 Gray Loaf Cats. 1 Ivory Loaf Cat. And 1 Yellow Peep Bunny. Shown below are the Ivory Loaf Cat and the Yellow Peep Bunny.
Let me know what you think of the Peep. Should I make more as it will be a Spring Fling show a few weeks before Easter. Or should I just make yellow, green and purple Leggy Frogs?
