Friday Ramblings: February Edition

I had so much fun rambling last month, I'm doing it again...

Apparently 2018 is going to follow in 2017's footsteps and FLY BY.  I cannot believe January is done.  At least we're one month closer to spring.

Speaking of which, my poor little daffodils are confused, because they're already blooming.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that Phil doesn't see his shadow today.  Otherwise these guys aren't going to make it.

Go see "The Post" with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks.  I kind of have a crush on Katherine Graham since reading her autobiography years ago.  She was an amazing, smart, ahead of her time woman.  The movie is really well done and as per usual, Meryl nails it.  And now I want to read her book again.

One of my goals for this year is to try something new every month.  In January, Mr. Lana (my new name for him, bestowed by Foxy's Domestic Side) and I tried snowshoeing.  So much fun!  I've pretty much given up on downhill skiing due to my bad knee (ironically, caused by downhill skiing) so this was a fun alternative to get out into the snowy forest.  More on our adventurous day coming soon!

For months I was getting the "back up your phone, or else, except you need to buy more icloud storage first" message.  But I didn't want to buy more icloud storage, so I kept ignoring it.  And then Jennie came to my rescue and shared the life changing information about photo storage with Amazon Prime Photos.  I guess I should pay more attention to those emails they send me explaining the benefits of Amazon Prime.  Now all my pictures are nicely backed up on Prime Photos and I can go back to ignoring icloud.

Just finished this book and I highly recommend.  It's kind of historical fiction, set in Paris just as World War II is ending.  The story revolves around an American woman who comes to Paris with her husband and meets Christian Dior, before he became CHRISTIAN DIOR.  It's an interesting and entertaining look into haute couture as Paris reclaims it's status as fashion capitol of the world.

How do you like to shop?  Do you prefer solitary perusing or hanging with your girlfriends?  Some friends came to town last weekend and we had the most fun shopping at all the stores.  Usually I'm on my own, and it was such a blast to bounce things off them and get their opinion.

The Blended Blog has some great things coming up in February, starting with next Monday's TBB Asks.  Hope you'll join us and share the love!

Have a great weekend friends!
