2. My 31st birthday

On New Year's Eve, I celebrated my 31st birthday! I was still recovering from double ear infections and a sinus infection but I managed to go out for a little bit with my mom. We went to Target and Barnes & Noble and had tacos at Moe's. We also got cupcakes to take home. I was so tired that I didn't even stay up to watch the ball drop at midnight and I crashed at 10pm.

4. December 2017 Occasions & Events

In December...

I attended the second annual Winter Planner Land event. I went to the event in 2016 and both of them were beyond amazing and so much fun.

My niece/God-daughter O turned 12!!

I attended my local planner meet up and we had a pot luck where everyone brought something to eat/drink. It was a lot of fun!

On the 17th, it marked 6 years that I graduated from college.

On December 16th, it marked the 11 year anniversary of meeting my favorite athlete, David Wright! My dad surprised me with tickets for my birthday that year.

I turned 31 on New Year's Eve.

Books Read in February 2022

The Code For Love & Heartbreak -Jillian Cantor I saw this book on sale for $10 and thought it looked interesting. It was a cute story line. A little repetitive at places but overall I enjoyed it. I rated it 3 stars on the Goodreads website. When Less Becomes More -Emily Ley I love Emily Ley's books and I had the pleasure of meeting her at one of the Wild For Planners Go Wild Planner conferences. She is super sweet! I really enjoy her personal development books. I rated this book 3 stars. Heartstopper (Volume 4) -Alice Oseman I love this series so much. I love graphic novels and I really wish my library had more of them. I rated this book 4 stars. Bad Moms -Nora McInerny I like this movie (and the sequel A Bad Mom's Christmas) and I saw this at a discount store and I had no idea it was made into a novel. I enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite book ever since I knew everything that happened since it stuck very close to the movie. I rated it 3 stars. Life, Unscheduled -K...

Heartstopper (Volume 3) -Alice Oseman While I was back home visiting my family for Christmas, I went to the mall with my dad and my nephews but I've been dealing with some health issues and my pain was really bad that day (and the mall was super crowded) so I ended up sitting in a chair at Barnes & Noble and reading the first two volumes of the Heartstopper series while they were shopping. I like this series. I love graphic novels but my library system doesn't have a lot of the ones I want to read and I will not buy graphic novels because I read them in a day. I rated this book 3 stars. Blame It On The Mistletoe -Beth Garrod I absolutely adored and loved this book so much. The characters, the plot, the setting... I loved it all. I rated this book 5 stars. Adequate Yearly Progress -Roxanna Elden I did not enjoy this book at all. I rated it 1 star. All I Want For Christmas -Wendy Loggia This is another super cute Christmas novel. I wasn't able to get to all of the Chr...
