February So Far
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!
