I'm linking up with Farley for the January currently!
Listening...my dog is a great guard dog, but barks at everything! She has been my alarm clock over break.
Loving....I got a new Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas from my in-laws! I did have a Nook Tablet for awhile. I didn't like how it felt like I was staring at a computer screen, and the glare was so bad, that I could not read it on the beach on vacation last summer. So the Paperwhite it is, and I am loving how lightweight it is! I also got a blanket from Barnes & Noble that has book quotes on it and it is super soft.
Thinking....2013 was not a great year, and I am hoping 2014 brings us much more happiness and good times.
Wanting....They are forecasting 3-5" of snow for today. Frankly, I am over snow and winter weather once it's past Christmas. I am now ready for spring. K thanks.
Needing....Today the decorations start coming down. It is always a kind of sad day, but I am also looking forward to getting my house back and nice and clean.
Tradition....The last two years it's just been my husband and me for Christmas Eve/Day. On Christmas Eve night, we pack in the car (with the dog), bring coffee, listen to Christmas tunes and drive around the neighborhoods looking at all the Christmas lights. It is a favorite memory of mine.
Love your tradition. We do something similar but with hot chocolate. I can't wait for spring.
ReplyDeleteLove the tradition! We used to do that when I was growing up, and I'd forgotten about it! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs Sykes
I took down my Xmas stuff the day after Christmas because it was kind of the only time I would have and my tree was looking pretty dead :/ Jealous of your new book blanket!

I love love LOVE my paperwhite! My husband gave me one for Christmas last year and oh the happy hours I have spent with it!
ReplyDeleteI bit the bullet and packed away all of the Christmas decorations today... if I wait until this weekend, I'll be too busy with school prep; if I wait until school starts, it won't happen until Easter!
I am envious of that book blanket - I have seen it at B&N!
Have a terrific 2014!
How much snow did you guys get? It's still snowing here, and I think we're around 5-6 inches so far. I think most of the snow stayed North of us, which is okay by me. There's plenty out there to shovel as is! I hope you enjoy the rest of your break. And Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThey are forecasting 3-5 but I bet we only have 2 so far. I am over it!
