Some congestion and a sore throat are keeping me close to home this weekend, so might as well get ahead on the ol' blog. If I remember, I'll come back to link up with the other currently devotees on Jennifer's blog. Thanks for reading!

loving - Girl Scout cookies and the fact that I know several people with daughters who are selling them. I was in Girl Scouts from 1st through 12th grade, earned a Gold Award, and worked at summer camp and for Girl Scouts Beyond Bars in my early 20's, so cookie season brings back a lot of memories and I'm so glad that girls are still participating.
looking forward to - last Friday, we thwarted our usual M.O. twice in short order by 1) acting in the spur of the moment to 2) make plans five months in advance. Usually we're (I'm?) overthinking things until it's too late or it becomes just easier to do them, and planning in advance for us is usually two weeks out, due in part to the way Keizo's work schedule gets published. Anyway, we got it together on Friday and now I have a few months to look forward to escaping the desert for several days in July!
doing to be romantic - I actually have a gift to give Keizo on Valentine's day! He does read this occasionally, so will just have to wait another week to find out what it is.
changing - it's definitely time to change out some clothes in my wardrobe; get rid of things I haven't worn since we moved, replace a couple of pairs of jeans with nicer ones, and find new sneakers. Over the past few years, I've definitely noticed myself wearing the same things over and over, even more so than before, and several of those things are actually starting to wear out.
celebrating - keeping my fingers crossed that all three households of my immediate family will finally get to celebrate belated Christmas this month, along with the bubble-themed, 3rd birthday party for my niece.
Best of January
- Trip to Denver - Looking back at the photos, this should maybe be a post of its own. This was my second trip, and not renting a car meant meant using light rail, scooters, and walking to get around. We avoided the coldest weather by spending a long afternoon at the art museum, and got to explore some neighborhoods near downtown in search of yummy food and drink.
