It's currently raining outside, making it a pretty good time to cozy up with a warm beverage and check some things off my to-do list indoors. One of those things is finishing up this post! Please stop by Anne in Residence to see what others are up to this month.
finishing - Dry January (or maybe not). I went out for drinks with some co-workers last Friday, and it was really nice to be out and about again. But, I overdid it and had a pretty rough time of it on Saturday. Either way, a month of not drinking was a good way to reset after the indulgences of the holidays.
subscribing - We subscribe to the Sunday edition of The Washington Post, as well as a pretty strict recycling policy that last week's goes in the bin as soon as the next one arrives. Most weeks, this means the only sections that get read are the magazine and the comics, but I really enjoy being able to linger over coffee with the paper on weekends.
wishlisting - The company I work for rewards employees who bike or walk to work with their choice of gift cards every six months. In the latest round, I picked Crate & Barrel in the hopes of finding some salad plates that match what we already have, and Zappos, because online shopping is better with free shipping and returns! Looking forward to having some "free" money to spend when cute shoe season arrives.
watching - The hours of daylight increase again. There was still light in the sky when I left work yesterday! Spring is coming!
hearting - The satisfaction of turning some of my recent pins into reality. I put together these hexagonal shelves last month, and made this delicious brownie pizza for the Super Bowl.
That is awesome that your company rewards you like that, what a great idea and motivator! I am with you--I love seeing the days slowly get longer--bring on the spring!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the idea of a company that has walking/biking rewards like that! And I would totally go for those stores too.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of turning pins into reality... excited to check out your creations :)
And I'm back - that brownie pizza?! Looks amazing. And that shelf is so darn cute. What a fun project to take on. Thanks for sharing the links!
