What's top of my mind: My husband. AKA the big guy. I am so blessed to have such a caring, considerate, hardworking and helpful husband. He's the best and I need to remember to thank him a little more often for all he does to keep our lives rolling along smoothly.
Where I've been: Thursday we went out to breakfast. Not good. Friday we went to a birthday party. It was held at a new cafe, Cafe Bloom. It was so beautiful! The atmosphere and the people. We knew most everyone there but also met some new people and had great conversation. I'm so glad we went. And I ate my weight in Indian food. Yes SPO, a LOT of curried snacks.
Where I'm going: We both have the week off. We know we'll take a day trip or two and have lunch somewhere. Other than that, it is unplanned bliss.
What I'm watching: A LOT of Christmas movies this past week. We ended the Christmas movie watching yesterday with Christmas Chronicles 1 and 2 and of course A Christmas Story.
What I'm reading: I'm still reading the book I started last week and I have two new Mary Jane Farm magazines to read as well. Also the seed catalogs are coming in. So much to read.
What I'm listening to: Nothing much this week.
What I'm eating: Meals this week were
Who needs a good slap: On pause, due to the holidays.
What I'm planning: As I said above, this is the week for relaxing and planning my goals for 2022.
What's making me smile: So many smiles this week. All because of people and not things. There are so many wonderful people in my small little circle and I'm thankful for each one and also each one of my blog friends.
How was your holiday week?
Ahhhh, I love your use of this week.... "The Week That Time Forgot" -smile-
ReplyDeleteHappy Boxing Day!
We have little snow, but it is cold...
So it is the beginning of Deep Winter, to me.
And yes, I welcome it. -smile-

It was an unbelievably 71 degrees here yesterday. Today it's 48. We have had no snow yet and I wish it would hurry up. Even without the cold and snow I am happy to snuggle up at home.
DeleteI hope you enjoyed your Christmas!!
Such a lovely post! I love your "unplanned bliss" phrase. That is the very best. We are eating any type of leftover ham dish I can think of around here! The weather here is unseasonably warm. I am hoping for some cozy snow soon. Happy Week Inbetween!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Billie Jo. I've been patiently waiting for this staycation for a while, so I want to take full advantage of it. Our weather is unseasonably warm as well. Today is another day in the 70's. Almost 40 degrees higher than the norm.
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful week inbetween as well!!
I'm glad you had a great holiday weekend and you have this week off. I'll have to give my last update tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteI hope things are OK and that you had a good weekend.
DeleteYay! I love your W's especially the pause on who needs a good slap, haaaha! Our week was BUSY and I must admit, exhausting ... at least for me, because all I do is COOK! But I am thankful for my husband and children and wonderful friends, and we did have a great time ... I'm just glad it's over. Well ... ALMOST over! Andrew and Brittany and Ember will arrive tomorrow afternoon and it starts all over again. But the menus will not be quite as ambitious, and it will be more relaxed. For now I'm ensconced in the leather recliner in a corner of my bedroom, wearing my new pajamas and socks (cats on both) and sitting underneath my new "Covered in Cotton" throw made right here in South Carolina. I have no plans to get up, except to move the laundry along. It's like spring outside ... in the upper 70s for daytime highs throughout the week. xoxo
ReplyDeleteAt times I feel all I do is COOK as well. I love it but it can get exhausting.
DeleteI'm glad you had a nice holiday and that part two will be a little more relaxed. Enjoy snuggling up with the cats and your new throw. You'll have to post a picture of it.
I could go for a big salad.
ReplyDeleteWe have them at least once a week. So good.
