Sunday Night Survey: Jan-You-Sharing Edition

Tonight we say goodbye to January and hello to February and all of its holidays: Groundhog's Day, Super Bowl Sunday, Chinese New Year, Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day, and Leap Day! I have a feeling that with all these celebrations, this month will go quickly. First, let's take some time to see what's been going on around here.

Watching: basically the entire first season of American Horror Story, plus the new X-Files.

Eating: out. A lot - birthdays will do that to you.

Eating: home-cooked meals. As much as I could, plus leftovers at work.

Rearranging: the living room. Dining room is next.

Walking: home from work on mild days, which we are having a lot of.

Reading: The Martian by Andy Weir.

Getting: a new phone...for free! Thanks T-Mobile/customer loyalty/Jesus for making me accept that my old phone was kaput.

Reuniting: with high school friends.

Enjoying: a relaxed Intersession at work before the craziness of the new semester comes.

Replacing: membership cards after someone took the coin purse I kept them in. (They missed my actual wallet, whew.)

Baking: cupcakes and cookies.

Sharing: the sweetness with Jesus's family and my coworkers.

Teaching: a mini-course on puzzles and games.

Drinking: tea.

Watering: my plants - radiator heat is drying them out!

Filming: my one second a day.

Writing: my one happy moment each day.

Taking: my students on a field trip to a local high school.

Giving: them a reminder that life goes beyond middle school.

Hanging: a few strands of pink and red lights in anticipation of Valentine's Day.

Welcoming: February.
