What I've Been Up To...

My 2020 Erin Condren Life Planner arrived this month. On November 7th, I helped my best friend decorate for her wedding. We also got our nails done together. November 8th, we had the dress rehearsal for the wedding (I was a bridesmaid) and then we went to a really fun bowling alley and had food and bowled. November 9th, was my best friend's wedding day and I was so honored to be a part of her special day. I filmed and uploaded a lot of planner videos for Youtube. My step-dad, nephew A, friend R, friend N all celebrated birthdays this month. I put up my 4 ft. tree in my room and decorated it. I've also been watching lots of Christmas movies, reading Christmas books, and listening to Christmas music.

What I'm Dreading...

With not working right now due to health issues, I am not able to buy gifts for my family and friends this Christmas and that has me really bummed because I love shopping for and giving gifts to my family and friends.

What I'm Working On...

I'm trying to make more blog posts as well as making and uploading planner videos to my Youtube channel.

What I'm Excited About...

Thanksgiving and the upcoming Christmas season.

What I'm Watching/Reading...

Watching: Regular TV shows that are not on a break, and lots of Christmas movies!
Reading: One Christmas Star by Mandy Baggot

What I'm Listening To...

Lots of Christmas music. Two new Christmas albums that came out this month that I'm loving are Idina Menzel's A Season of Love & Lea Michele's Christmas In The City.

What I'm Wearing...

Lounge clothes when I'm at home. When I'm out, leggings/jeans and shirts/sweaters.

What I'm Doing This Weekend...

No plans of now, I will probably just be relaxing and watching lots of Christmas movies as well.

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month...

My niece O has a birthday, my best friend's son has a birthday, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and my birthday. I'm also excited for all of the festive things!

What Else Is New...

I think I covered everything else.

    Awww... now I'm reminiscing about our trip to New York City right after New Year's last year. New York is so awesome around the holidays.

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...

Books Read in January 2022

  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...
