Sunday Post/Sunday Salon - January 26, 2025: Put the Fries in the Bag, Bro

January is January-ing HARD. The kids have told me that my title phrase is too old to be said any longer, but I feel like it's my life lately. Sometimes I have something to say, but I realize that everyone is January-ed out, and what I have to say isn't going to actually help anyone. So I tell myself to 'put the fries in the bag, bro,' and just do my job and move on. It's not intended to discount me or my opinions, but not everything going through my brain needs to come out. I feel like it's been my goal for a long time to do better at flying under the radar.

But for now, welcome to my sharing space! I'm joining along for the Sunday Post with Caffeinated Reviewer, and  Sunday Salon with Readerbuzz. This is my space, and I say what I want to! It's been a solid two weeks since I announced my plan to re-cap 2024 and set some big picture plans for 2025, but it's still on my list.

What I'm reading this week:

I just finished Let's Call Her Barbie (5 stars with a review posted yesterday), and I'm more than half way through Rough Magic: A Sylvia Plath Biography. Last night I started Conditions of a Heart by Bethany Mangle. 

Three Good Things:

1. I finished my Lego Wildflower Bouquet a couple days ago! Now I just want to get some glass marbles for the bottom of a vase, and I can always have the flowers displayed on our stair landing. Yay!
2. I placed a Disney order (as I switch away from a Disney Rewards credit card) and ordered Legos with Disney villian icons. I think it delivers tomorrow, but I'd like to finish my Bonsai tree from last year before I start on the newest set. 
3. Weird one, but most of the books I've read this year so far have been fantastic! Fives stars for Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, The Magic Maker, and Let's Call Her Barbie. (And even one of  my last reads for 2024 - This Book Won't Burn.)

Three Goals for this week/month/whatever:

Absolutely nothing got done from my last list. LOL Let's try again, shall we?

1. A post to serve as a re-cap of 2024 and overview of big picture goals for 2025.
2. I'd like to consistently work overtime, for the sake of my paychecks. Hahaha... We're done with actual holidays til Memorial Day (ugh), so other than the days I've already requested off, there should be no conflicts to working more than 40 hours each week.
3. I think I have a few home decorations/candle holders for Valentine's Day. I'd like to bring those up from storage really soon, so we can appreciate them on display for a couple weeks. Hubby's and my wedding anniversary is February 16 too. He'll be out of town for work, but I'm going to a concert at a local university that day :)
