Things to get through the gloom of January through March:

  • Five-year anniversary
  • Celebrating five-year anniversary with a little getaway
  • Vacation to Arizona with my mom to visit Nannie
  • Fresh flowers in the kitchen
  • Eating Arizona oranges picked from Nannie's tree
  • Receiving the oranges package I sent myself from Arizona
  • Keeping Christmas cards up on the pantry door
  • Beginning (and sticking to) an early-morning exercise routine
  • Play-dates with neighbors
  • Tax return checks
  • New kitchen table and chairs
  • Planning new colors for kitchen cabinets
  • Valentines Day
  • My birthday
  • Opening and wearing my cute red-orange raincoat
  • Spending lots of time with friends and family
  • Experimenting with new, yummy recipes
  • A new hair-do 
  • Easter
  • Spring fashion
  • Soaking up cooler temperatures before the Summer heat wave
  • Drinking a lot of Diet Coke

    oh Alicia...I can count on you to cheer me up!!! January and February blowwwwwww!!! I have had to give myself a pep talk almost every day. Vegas (your Arizona) was a wonderful break and really helped...65 degrees does not suck, but now I'm having a hard time bouncing back! I need an Alicia fix, that will help! xo
