I did it y’all!!! I survived my first ‘real’ winter in almost a decade and unlike any previous time, I…enjoyed it?!?! It’s obviously been a wild month with a lot of revelations so let’s see what I got up to and how I came to these new conclusions.

Happy New Year! I made it to a new year so I’m feeling grateful (though I guess my pessimism is showing 😉 …) . Anyway, this month was marked by snow and cold because I chose to spend the winter outside of tropical climates for the first time since I retired. Was it worth it? Am I losing my mind while looking out a frosted window? Let’s find out 🙂 . Here’s what I did this month: Continue reading “The Month Of Snow: January 2023 Recap”
And just like that, 2022 was at an end… Weird 🙂 . 2022 was filled with so much travel, food and fun that it seemed to fly by. Years used to feel a bit infinite, but now they’re whizzing past. I’m glad I have these posts to look back on and remember what I did with that time 🙂 . So let’s see what I got up to during the last month of 2022!

I find it a little bit cruel that we ask children what they want to be when they grow up. Maybe it’s my pessimism, but asking a kid what they would most like to do only for them to have the facts of the world slap them in the face down the line, messed me up a bit 🙂 .

Well, another month is done, I experienced fall, and enjoyed some season-appropriate adventures. Let’s see what I got up to!

I always thought of myself as a summer girl, but given that I can soak up all of the lessening hours of sunlight instead of dreamily looking at them outside my office window, I’m coming around to this season. It’s definitely more pleasant to run in, I’m enjoying the warmth of tea in my belly and a fluffy blanket on my lap when I (inevitably) read a book in one sitting. Consider me a changed woman 🙂 . So, let’s see what I got up to during this first month of fall!
2022 continues to pass by with the speed of a bullet train. I guess I’m having too much fun 😉 . This month we continued our exploration of the northeast – we like to come here in the summer if possible since it’s cooler than other parts of the country. We started by saying “hi!” to family in New York State and then moved further east. So let’s see what I got up to!
