• The page-a-day daily text tradition continues! Almost every day for the last four years, I’ve text Steven and Mom an image of my page-a-day calendar. It’s a fun little thing that sometimes teaches us something and sometimes sparks conversation. In 2016 and 2017 we did quotes, 2018 was the Liz Climo cartoons, 2019 was a historical “On this Day,” and 2020 is “365 New-Words-A-Year.” Today’s reminds me of our one ski trip, in 2009.


  • I’ve been complaining about work being crazy busy forever, and it was finally quiet for a bit around the holidays! Yay! Much appreciated! I got a lot of filing done, and took some online training.
  • During my mani/pedi appointment last Saturday, it dawned on me that my nail technician is the female I spend the most one-on-one time with, since I have appointments with her every two to three weeks. Steven and I tend to go out on couples dates, and I don’t have anyone I run with one-on-one. And that is okay! Just something that popped in to my head.

I did glitter nails the entire month of December <— insert three heart eye emojis!

  • I was so meh about Christmas this year that I never put my favorite holiday music on my phone (example: Pentatonix and Sia albums). I did listen to the Christmas radio station in the car, in the house, and when working on the garage, but now I am feeling kind of sad I never heard some of my favorite songs that those stations don’t play. I’m putting a reminder in my calendar to put that music on my phone on November 1st! (Ha, I just checked and I apparently have a recurring calendar appointment to do that already…)
