Life Update: January 2014
I haven't done a very good job of keeping up on my day to day. So I figured I'd give you a little update on what I've been up to lately. Thanks to Ashley for the format inspiration. ;-)
Cooking: I've been focusing on cooking healthy, but also making it fun and delicious! Some of our favorites so far include fish tacos, tortilla pizzas, and roasted red pepper soup w/ barley.
Reading: I just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and am getting ready to start Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosch for the girl power book club I just joined! Also, I'm in the middle of The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller for a class that I'm taking.
Studying: How to teach reading to students for the class I'm in. I'm in this class to renew my substitute teaching license, but I think that it will be very helpful in the tutoring business that I'm about to launch!
Looking forward to: February 2nd! Yes, Super Bowl day, but also, launch day for my tutoring business! Holy moly is that already only a few days away? I'm getting very nervous, but very excited about it. My biggest fear is not having anyone interested, but I've already had three potential students just based on discussing this with friends and neighbors.
Obsessed With: Taking pictures of my cats. I sent one of the pictures to Ryan on Monday and he said if I wasn't married to him, I'd be a crazy cat lady. Probably...
Sick of: Being sick!! I'm currently sick for the second time this month. Not sure what the deal is, but I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact that I got about 6 hours of sleep between Friday and Saturday night all together.
January Renewals: I gave up alcohol and caffeine for New Year's and I physically have felt so much better! I think I've even lost a couple pounds from it. :) I also attended a CEW (Christian Experience Weekend) this past weekend and though I ended the weekend physically exhausted, I'm feeling spiritual renewed! It was an extra bonus to spend this weekend with my mom and my friend, Brooke.
Your food looks super yummy (good job); I love kitty photos so if Ryan gets sick of them, send them my way :); NO Caffeine or alcohol for the whole year?! or just the Month?! If its the full year, I give you MAD props! I did no caffeine for about 2 years, and it was fine, but nope I need my morning coffee and my weekly glass of wine! Good for you though! Besides being sick it sounds like you are up to lots of great things! xo
ReplyDeleteFor the whole year hopefully! :) I did cheat and have caffeine twice, but that was in an effort to avoid having alcohol while out with friends! We'll see how it goes, but so far so good. I should clarify, I will allow myself tea, that is something I could never live without. And though most of it is caffeine free, I think I do have some that has small amounts of caffeine in it. :) Miss you!!
