It’s January (almost)! We are in Michigan with family and have settled in for a rocking New Year’s party- which will consist of watching the ball drop in our PJs! We’ve never been big “go out on New Year’s” people and this year will be no different.
I’m hooking up with Farley for her monthly Currently! Some months it’s the only time I blog!
LISTENING: It is switching between the news and football! I will admit, I don’t watch enough news- so the “year in review” show is really helpful! #that’sembarassingtoadmit
LOVING: We’ve had two weeks off work- two- glorious- fun-long-weeks home in Michigan! When we were leaving town, I made it a point to enjoy the time away! I even deleted work email from my phone! Being with my family has been wonderful! We spent the first half of the vacation with my in-laws and the second half with my parents. I even got to see my BFF! Life has been good on vacation!
THINKING: Everyone knows that traveling is fun, but going home is always good! We will get a few days at home and still on vacation and I can use that time to unpack, put Christmas away, do the laundry, and just enjoy the remaining hours of this amazing vacation. Have I told you I got two weeks off? Sunday is going to be very depressing!
WANTING: So I got a new car for Christmas- and we took that car home with us to Michigan. Granted, it saved gas money, is much more comfortable than my husband’s truck and it is better equipped to ride in the elements that Michigan presents… but it was a BRAND NEW CAR! And now it has dog hair in it… and snow in it… and it’s just dirty! Thank goodness the husband promised me he would clean it if I allowed us to take it! So that is what HE will be doing on Sunday!
NEEDING: This is about the time of a vacation where I start to think about the things I need to do when I get home. But I’m going to try not to think about it and will just enjoy some more time to sit in a chair and read a book! I did a lot of reading this vacation! Yay!
YES, MAYBE, I WISH: Pretty sure we have a ski trip planned for Spring break… and we are talking about taking our boat to the Bahamas again… in a dream world… I’d go back to Europe! Anywhere in Europe would be fine with me!
It’s going to be a blessed New Year! Full of blogging… full of Leach’s Literacy Training… and full of fun!
Wishing you a wonderful New Year! How do you celebrate?
You are so brave for deleting work e-mail over break! I wish I had the strength! Happy New Year I will also be enjoying my Pjs 🙂
Happy New Year, Melissa!
I found you though Farley's Currently link up. WOW. Do you change your blog to match the months/seasons?! I am so impressed. My blog is lucky if it sees a post, yet alone a make-over!
Your trip to Michigan sounds wonderful I think REST is an important component of any break from school. It helps re-energize us to face the chaos again. That doesn't mean I'm ready to give up napping!
Sending good wishes for 2015!

I will also be spending NYE in my PJs (Honestly though – I've been in PJs all day!) I can't say I think I'll be up to watch the ball drop. I'm too tired. I hope 2015 treats you very very well! ~ Michelle
