January in Review

January...is generally my least favorite month. It's just cold and the holidays are over and I'm usually gloomy. (January has also had the unfortunate luck to be the month when for three years in a row I was getting over a break up. So that definitely doesn't help its cause). But! This January...has been pretty good. Maybe it's just a fluke...or maybe a wave of change is coming.

Anyway. Highlights!

- We had a great New Years Eve party. I'm just now remembering we had a pseudo photo booth and I should get my hands on those pictures.

- Since moving a decent distance from Sawadee, we've been on the hunt for a new neighborhood Thai place. We found a great one this month! It's tiny and not super busy, and happens to be right next to our grocery store. Success!

- We had a haircut date. (Which just entailed us going to Great Clips. We do NOT cut each other's hair)

- We went to see Saving Mr. Banks.

- We finished the Harry Potter movies and then I was sad.

- We made Portland food-truck inspired grilled pb&j and nutella sandwiches. Twice. (Once on our own and once with friends. You...should try it. It's amazing)

- I almost fell asleep at the grocery store during a badly planned 10 pm trip.

- I read the Hunger Games series again. Ugh. I love/hate the last book.

- I finally realized it's unnecessary to pluck my eyebrows when my bangs just cover them up.

- We found out that if that you're having a sad night a dinner of Jamba Juice and a deep dish Little Caesars pizza is helpful.

 - We found out that if you're having a happy night a dinner at Noodles and Co. following by some Barnes and Noble time is a good way to celebrate.

- We watched Shark Tank almost every Friday night this month. Which I think is a notable achievement.

- The time I posted a photo update to the CAWS facebook page (where we adopted Wallace) and neglected to realize that all my friends could see it. It did nothing to help my cat lady status.

- An end of the night Target trip on a weeknight! (Getting me out of the house after 7 during the winter is a feat. Brian should feel proud)

- A Saturday of fun errands and a lunch date at Five Guys.

- Reinstating Sunday naps due to our earlier church schedule. And almost taking two in one day.

The best thing that happened this month was accidentally coming in at the very beginning of a documentary about Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

The worst thing that happened this month was being elated to see a Banbury Cross donut box in the break room, and opening it to find 1/6 of a donut left.

(i took barely any pictures this month. and they were mostly of cats. shocking.)
