January 2020

One month down of the year twenty-twenty. Honestly, to me it didn't feel like January flew by that quickly, which is probably because it was a full month for me. And I'm glad. 

It was good. *smiles* 

First of all, let's not comment on how neglected my blog has become, because that has been a thing for forever now. I didn't even talk about Christmas or December at all except for that one tag...

But. I had a good Christmas, just for the record. *thumbs up*

Also. I only did two posts this month, and they were both tags. It WAS a pretty busy month. And I'm giving you a little life update now, so it's all good. Not like I'm obligated to update people on my mediocre life, I just..... I guess that's just what bloggers do. xP And you can debate whether or not I qualify as a blogger anymore if you'd like, but I'm getting on to this post now. lol.

JANUARY 2020. What did I do this month?

|| Well, I started the new year and new decade off awesomely. My brother and sister and I spent New Years Day up by the lakes, driving around with the cousins and doing a little off-roading. It was a great day. *happy grin*

I don't remember much of what else I did at the beginning of the month, probably because I DROPPED. MY. PHONE. And the screen slowly died. It was wierd. I could still turn the phone on, but that was useless because the screen was black. *laughs* 

Here's what it looked like, in the process of dying. xP That sucked. I called the manufacturers, and decided to pay to get it fixed. So I used my mom's old phone, and headed off on vacation! What a time to wreck your phone, right? *laughs* My mom's old phone, which I'm STILL having to use, is a junk. That's why these photos from my trip are garbage. My service quit working a tiny bit into the trip, so I had no service the whole time. I finally got that fixed today.

|| So, the trip. Three of my cousins, and my sister and I road-tripped up to New Hampshire for a cousins wedding! It was an adventure, and a good time! :) A couple other cousins from another state drove up for the wedding too, and we all stayed at my aunt and uncle's house. It was great hanging out with all of the cousins, and chatting with aunts and uncle's. Especially when I don't see many of them very often.
Having "real" winter for awhile was kind of cool. That came with it's own adventures. *winks* Icy roads...
I went to my cousin's last night out, helped decorate for the wedding, and, of course, went to the wedding. Lol. It was beautiful!
I got sick the day after the wedding, and missed out on some activities that day. But still got to have some fun the next day, the day before we loaded up the big van and headed for home. :) It was well worth the trip, after five years without a visit!  

And here's a few more junky pictures for you. xP Not having a good camera for pictures during a trip is kinda sad, but that's life. *ouch*

|| I started working at a new place a couple days a week, after getting home from vacation, and that has been a new experience. It's been good, but different. I'm not exactly sure where that's going to go, or how it'll end up, but I'm hoping I'll eventually be able to quit my other job and take this one on full time. We'll see.

|| I literally got sick at least twice in January! First I got a head cold in New Hampshire, and then the Sunday after getting back, I came down with the stomach flu. And I pretty much never get the stomach flu. Last year it took out our whole big family, except me and the baby brother. *shrugs* So that was interesting. Anyone else get sick last month? xP

This is random, but we have kale in our garden still! And it's alive and well. ^^





JANUARY READING:

The book of Proverbs

I made a goal on Goodreads to read 12 books this year... which is one book a month! I read Proverbs, and I guess that does count. ;P



JANUARY SONGS: 

Won't Look Back by Josh Groban

Why is it that Daminika always tells me about awesome things? xP *laughs* She told me about my now-favorite TV shows, and she told me about this song, which I love. This style of music, so passionate, is one of my favorites.

Just The Way by Parmalee & Blanco Brown

I heard this in NH. Can't say I agree with the whole song, but I love this line, if you take it as talking about appearances and personality. :) 

I love you just the way God made you, 

girl you don't have to change

what you call your imperfections I call beautiful babe

ANTICIPATING IN FEBRUARY:
