Anticipating
I'm looking forward to all the fun holidays this month! We have already celebrated Groundhog Day and are now learning about Chinese New Year. My students are excited to exchange Valentines, and I just love emphasizing kindness and empathy.
Going
In April, my husband and I are planning a trip to Florida. I LOVE seeing my aunt (my mother's sister) who has Alzheimer's. I believe that the soul has a memory, and I know that she'll remember that I care so much about her.
I recently read an article about Lauderdale by the Sea in the Boston Globe. Since my husband insists on staying somewhere different than Delray Beach, I'm looking into this new place. Plus, it's only a thirty minute drive to the facility where my aunt is in Delray.
Here's a picture of sunrise from our trip last year:
Making
Tonight I made Cajun Chicken Pasta using jarred Alfredo sauce. This recipe is pretty spot on to the one that I make. I always use Purdue thin sliced chicken breasts ~ they really make a difference!Watching
My 11 year old dog insists on waking me up at 4:40 a.m. Consequently, I've been watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix. It has subtitles so I have to focus and pay attention ~ which means that I can't watch this show while I'm correcting! The first step of the process involves placing all of your clothes in one big pile. UGH! That seems so overwhelming! It's much more relaxing to watch other people tidying up!
Once a year, I reorganize and tidy up all my teacher "stuff." It takes forever!
Wearing
I'm looking forward to wearing my new polar bear sweater from the Loft. Aren't those bear too cute?
It's been a pleasure to blog during the week! I hope you're enjoying February where you live! Thanks for visiting the blog today!
