For the last Saturday of each month, she prompts us to share four things that we loved/or disliked, accomplished, things we improved upon, and/or that need improvement, and noticed (either in our own lives or around town).
THINGS WE LOVED AND/OR DISLIKED: I recently tried to make soup in the crockpot and the soup wasn't getting that hot. The crockpot wasn't working properly and was broken. I had to dump the soup into a large pot and cook it the rest of the way on the stove. I was on a search for a new crockpot. I looked at BJs and they had a fancy one by Hamilton Beach but I wanted something simple but functional. I ordered this Pioneer Women 6 QT Programmable Slow Cooker from Walmart. The crockpot came within two days. I've already made for dinner Crockpot Marry Me Chicken and Crockpot Beef Short Ribs and both recipes came out great. The crockpot is simple but works great and it looks pretty.
ACCOMPLISHED: I've already read two books for this month. Imperfect Chemistry. This is a romantic rom-com that was perfect for me to read after the holidays. There are five books in this series.
This book, The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, was a Christmas present from my daughter. This book by the author is a memoir of the year after the death of her husband. This book is good but sad and how she relates to loss and grief.
THINGS WE IMPROVED UPON AND/OR THAT NEED IMPROVEMENT: Now that the holidays are over, we are trying to eat a lot less sweets, such as homemade cookies and cakes. We are all trying to get our workouts in each week at the gym.
NOTICED (either in our own lives or around town): I was recently at the funeral of a family friend and someone asked me if I had lost weight. So I guess someone noticed a change in my appearance. I'm glad about that because I want to look and feel good.
I hope you all have a happy Friday and weekend.
