It rained all day long and we really needed it. I even skipped my walk this morning because it was so dark and I could hear the steady rain hitting the metal roof after I got up. SO I told hubby to wake me up in another hour. It was really nice getting to sleep longer. :) So no exercise for me today but I hardly ever miss either my walk or exercise so I consider it my hump day break today.
We are having a drought here in Central Texas, but it seems to be typical every year or other year so I'm sure we'll get out of it in the next few months. I think we got close to if not at least an inch today so that's good!
Keeping this short just wanted to post something.. as I know it has been a while. :)

Sunday fun day
Why was it fun day? Because I didn't have to work for once. I had the entire day off. So I didn't get up until close to 7:30AM and exercised as I always do (except Saturdays). Then watched an episode of Hoarders and grabbed a shower, etc. Oh before showering I swiffered and vacuumed my office floor as it was really in need of it.
I got in some singing on singsnap and also got in some reading! :) We also gave Bella a bath and I got a load of my cold water wash done (that I hang on racks). So overall it was a good day....and it is only 7:11PM so I can get some more reading in. Tomorrow back to the grind.

Mid day Moon?
I worked just a few hours this morning and then hubby and I went to an Antique Mall to look around as it had been a while since we've been there. That is the place we rent a small display case at to sell antiques. We got a few cast iron dogs and some other goodies. It was really nice walking around and checking out all the neat things.
On the way home the sky was so blue and I was admiring how there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was 3:24PM and there to the right I saw the moon. At least I believe that is what it was. I have never seen the moon mid afternoon.. and really thought it was strange. I grabbed my phone and took a fast picture of it for proof. LOL.
Tomorrow is the first full work week in January...okay yes I worked a few hours today but what I mean is I will be working all week long without taking any days off. Hopefully it won't seem too terribly long. :)

Happy New Year 2020!
A new year...a new decade. ...a blank slate for the next 365 days right?
This year will be something new for me as I will become a grandmother for the first time.
It still is hard for me to wrap my head around that fact. I know it is common, no big deal...happens to most women at some point in their lives...but to me it is a first and just something that will be new. I am sure I will embrace...lol. I know I'm weird! I never really had grandparents to use for an example. My mom's dad died before I was born (I'm pretty sure) and I only recall one visit from my mom's mother. I was young when her mom visited us and don't recall much about it other than there was an old bent over woman sitting on the stool in our kitchen. A stranger to me.
My dad's folks weren't visited often enough for me to feel comfortable with them as grandparents. I was more afraid of my grandmother cornering me to get a kiss than anything else. Sad, I know...but I can count on one hand the number of times I recall anyway, seeing them. I'm sure they were fine people. And if my aunt is reading this, no offense intended!! It is just my memory from my childhood.
I guess my biggest concern is that I want to be a good grandmother. Someone that has grandchildren who will know her well enough to be happy to see her, accept her and love her. My one sister seems to have fit into the grandmother role very easily as her son has two children now. They live in the same town as well so that makes it much easier to visit a lot. I'm told it will come naturally. Fingers crossed. :-)
So I am not making any unreasonable resolutions this year for 2020. Like blogging every day. Yea, I should have thought more about that last year. Some days there was just nothing really to write about and other days I was working so late that I didn't want to stay up and write period. :)
I am making two resolutions this year though that I think will be easy to stick with.
#1 drink at least 64 oz of water/liquids daily.
#2 Wear at least one piece of Paparazzi jewelry every day.
The water challenge I have already been doing for over a month now. I have been horrible about getting enough water as I always hated drinking it. I rarely just would pour a cup to drink. I already exercise and eat a pretty healthy diet but I am pretty sure I've been getting maybe half of the water intake I should. So I've been drinking and tracking and am going to stick with it. I can tell a difference already with more energy, etc.
The jewelry resolution is just due to the fact that I have a lot of the paparazzi from having sold it so there is no reason I should not wear a piece every day. It will make it seem more worth it that I have it by actually wearing it every day. :)
So those are my 2 resolutions! I look forward to what this year holds!
