What's Up Wednesday: January 2026 Edition

 





What We're Eating This Week...

Monday: Pot stickers, rice, veggies
Tuesday: Chicken, sweet potato pie
Wednesday: Pasta & meatballs
Thursday: Leftovers
I'm not sure about the rest of the week.

What I'm Reminiscing About...

The two trips I took to the Caribbean. I wish I could afford to go to the Caribbean every year because I love the Caribbean ocean so much.


What I'm Loving...

Spending time with my mom, spending time with my cats, watching sports.

What I've Been Up To...

Watching lots of sports (NFL football, college football, NBA basketball), reading, watching TV & movies with my mom, filming for my YouTube channel.

What I'm Dreading...

I always get the blues in January because Christmas and the holiday season go by so fast. To cheer myself up a bit, I make Christmas last as long as possible. I give my Christmas playlist another listen in January, I still watch Christmas movies in January and February, I read a few Christmas books in January. I leave the 4 ft' tree on my desk in my room up until late February/early March because it brings me so much joy.

What I'm Working On...

Organizing and decluttering in my room. I'm also working on my content schedule for YouTube for the first quarter of the year.

What I'm Excited About...

NFL playoffs. Sadly, the team I root for, the Buffalo Bills, lost in the AFC Divisional Round.

What I'm Watching/Reading...

Watching: TV shows including the new season of The Pitt, NFL, college football, NBA basketball
Reading: I've read 4 books this month and I'm hoping to squeeze one more in before the month is over. I will have a blog post up soon about the books I read in January.


What I'm Listening To...

I gave my Christmas playlist one last listen. I've also been listening to Morgan Wallen, Benson Boone, and Zach Bryan.

What I'm Doing This Weekend...

I have some cleaning to do but other than that I have no plans.

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

My brother and nephew have birthdays next month. My fur baby, Davey Eli, has a birthday next month. I'm also looking forward to the Superbowl even though my team is not in it. Other things I'm looking forward to next month: Valentine's Day and the new season of Survivor starts.

    Ooo, those ocean photos are so pretty. *-*

    I love the idea of making Christmas last as long as possible too! We still have a tiny little fake tree up. (I feel like the little lights/its existence do help to make winter better. :] )

    Best of luck on decluttering/organizing! I really need to do that too...

      Thank you so much for commenting. I loved both of my trips there.

      I had to take my tree down last week because the lights stopped working, otherwise I would still have it up. I have to get a new one for this year.

      Thank you so much! :)
