In case you didn’t know, February is one of my favorite months. It’s my birthday month and Valentine’s all rolled into one fun month. Poor Andrew…
It’s been such a great month so far, praise the Lord!!, that I wanted to share some fun things, Blogtember Challenge-style:
Reading: A few things! SRT has just started their Lent study {if you’re not doing one, please jump in!!}. I’m also still reading For the Love {taking my sweet time on this one – really soaking it in!} and I just recently picked up A Window Opens.
Playing: I feel like this answer is always “with my kids!”, but it’s so true. The sun is out a little longer in the evenings which has been such a huge blessing. I feel like I’m racing to get out the office door, then out the daycare door and across town by 5:40 so we can have some really great play-time outside!
Watching: the hallway…at night. Reynolds has been doing this thing of sneaking out of his bed and down the hallway at night. Y’all. I almost screamed one night when I woke up to him standing at the foot of the bed with his hand on my foot. !!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! Then I remembered why my mom told me that if I came into their room at night when I was little that I had to talk loudly. I think, so she wouldn’t punch me in the face! NOW I understand!!!
Showing: Y’all! I have a new logo!!!! Did you see it?! :) It was option #3 in the vote from a couple of weeks ago, and I just think it’s perfect for Camellias & Copper! {I hope you love it!} If you don’t see it, maybe refresh your browser…but please let me know if it looks wonky!!
Cooking: I have been super slack in the cooking department recently. It’s the easiest ball for me to drop in all the ones I’m juggling. And I just don’t have time or energy for it. By the time we get home, have some play time outside, I just don’t want to stand over a stove. I’ve been making a lot of simple things, including, but not limited to, sandwiches.
Eating: A lot of chocolate. Thanks Valentine’s Day :)
Drinking: More water!!! And I introduced my friend Ann to the Starbucks Vanilla Latte in a jug, over the weekend. My apologies to her husband, because she will now be hooked and this stuff will take over his beer fridge {not even sure he has one…but if he does…}
Calling: The hubs. He’s in Charleston for a conference. I wish I could have recorded the conversation R had with him tonight. It consisted of R telling him he ate all his supper then ate Andrew’s chocolate chip cookie…and where it went from there was hilarious.
Texting: Hubs, brother and mom and dad.
Tweeting: The Grammys last night. John Legend was amazing opening for the Lionel Richie tribute and I let him know. ;)
Pinning: I haven’t pinned much since the Valentine’s surge last month…
Going: Past tense would be went… We just went to Rome, GA for the weekend to see my college roommate and another sweet friend from Berry College. Reliving a similar photo taken like this from ~17 years ago….
Loving: Having Gigi here tonight so I’m not alone with these crazy kids!!!!! So true. She laughs as I type this! :) We love you, Gigi! {Gigi is a co-worker that lives in Charlotte and likes to stay with us when she’s in town overnight. She must be crazy, I know!!!!! ;)} I’m also loving my hubs and kids. I had this fun card made for Andrew for Valentine’s Day.
Hating: The bickering of this political season. I mean, just give it to me straight and stop with the bickering. Act like adults and be REAL with us, because that’s what WE care about.
Thinking: So much!!! Work is a fruit-basket turnover right now. We are promoting and moving people around and there is a LOT of thinking that goes into that. I’m also thinking about vacation season…where to go, etc. {Are you going anywhere fun? If yes, please share!!}
Feeling: Exhausted!!!! After a whirlwind trip to Rome over the weekend {5 hrs one way!} and then Charleston on Monday for the day {congrats again to my amazing hubby!!}, I am SO tired!! But thankful to have seen great friends and to have celebrated Andrew’s accomplishment!
Hoping: For a good night’s rest. :)
Listening: To Gigi. :) She’s talking about work while I write this post {she’s getting all the behind-the-scenes fun!}.
Smelling: Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Pinot Gris. I’m also drinking it in the present.
Celebrating: MY HUBBY!!! I know some of y’all are so tired of hearing about this, but I’m so happy for him. :)
Ordering: OOH!! I ordered this GREAT dress from Ann Taylor today and I’m so excited!!!!!!! We have a formal-ish affair next Tuesday night so I may have made up the difference in the great price to get it by this Friday {it’s probably going to need some minor alterations!!} → Petite Lace Flare Dress ←
Thanking: Hannah. Hannah is our babysitter that went to Charleston with us yesterday. She rode along with me so that I could enjoy the awards banquet without interruption. She took our kids to a fun little cookie shop and then had a minor mishap with R and his clothes {he’s potty training} at the park. Poor kid → her, not him. Her mom said she was not phased by it, but I would have been distraught as a 16 year old dealing with that mess…
Considering: Reynolds’ birthday party. I have some ideas, but I need to consider a few things before booking the location…we’ll see what happens over the next week or so.
Starting: I have just started writing as a contributor to the Columbia SC Moms Blog {in case you missed that super fun announcement last week!!}.
Finishing: Laundry!!! I’m about to finish some laundry so I can climb in my bed and go to sleep.
I think that’s about it, for tonight at least! I hope you’re all having a great February!
