- Eating vegetables. After not eating too many for the month of December in lieu of Christmas cookies.
- Joining Good Reads. Here’s me: http://www.goodreads.com/livelyshell
- Drinking Republic of Tea Honey Ginseng Green Tea.
- Disappointed with the post Christmas mail box. Getting the mail is one of my favorite parts of December.
- Practicing yoga (and visiting the gym) this week again after an unplanned 3 week break. On the first day back on the mat my body went from Augh to Ahhhh after a few sun salutations. In related news, I’m awfully sore. Hello torso – nice to feel you again.
- Thankful for very accommodating in-laws.
- Watching The Good Wife. Love.That.Show. Except for the Nick storyline. Eww.
- Slowly de-Christmising the house. My goal is everything packed away by the end of the weekend. It’s a slow job with little helpers around.
- Reading Cleaning House, a mom’s 12 month experiment to rid her home of youth entitlement.
- Needing to get going on some photo-book making.
- Crossing my fingers that illness doesn’t strike twice in our home. That flu spell was a doozy.
- Missing girlfriend time. December craziness limited coffee and dinner dates.
- Crowning the Magna-Tiles as the most played with Christmas gift so far. Those things are cool.
- Anticipating spending my lululemon gift cards soon. Granted they will only pay for one shirt, but I’ll love that one shirt. :)
- Pondering the future of this blog. To be or not to be, that is my question.
What are you up to?
First of all, Magnatiles are awesome – Santa brought a second set this year. It’s the one toy the kids consistently play with year round after getting them last year for Christmas!
Second, I am looking forward to catching up with girl time soon – I miss it too!!
Third, Mark gave me pants from Lululemon and I made him take them back and get something for himself. I can’t wear yoga pants that cost $100. I just can’t. They would sit in my closet and rot because I wouldn’t want to wear them out or mess them up. So I stick to Target so I can wear without guilt.
Fourth, I vote “to be” – I would miss your blog if you stopped!
You don’t know how excited I am that you are on Goodreads! I already friended you because I know you will have some great suggestions for me. I usually read 25-30 books a year, but last year? 14. Pathetic. It is my goal to read more than 20 this year and I am desperate for some GOOD stuff.
I’m totally with you on eating vegetables. Way to many cookies last month to where all I want to eat now are veggies!
And as for the future of your blog. I for one, hope the answer is to BE! (But trust me, I get it.)
The answer is TO BE. Always brightens my day to read it.
I do like reading your blog, but understand if you decide to not to be…As someone who recently decided to not be.
Please don’t stop blogging! I adore your blog!
i just friended you on goodreads…cause i always love the books you post. seriously, i’m either already reading them or then do read them and love them!
I can relate to almost every line of this post. I need to check out goodreads. I’ve heard so many good things. I’ll friend you if I do.
To be…if not here, then somewhere! I love reading your blog and keeping up with you and your precious family. You have always been my inspiration for being healthier. I would miss that. Of course, it just means I’d be emailing or calling more often when I had questions!
I hope “to be” – I love reading about your adventures, but I totally undestand as someone who igorned her blog for over 8 months . . .
