I think the cold weather makes me not want to write as much. It’s hard to unwrap my arms from my blanket to get to my keyboard. Not like our house is even that cold, except that the thermostat goes down to 55 overnight. But it is January, and living in SE Pennsylvania means its going to be cold out. And in. 

I ate wild mushroom rice for supper. It was interesting, but I have to say it was pretty good. Sorry for you if you don’t like mushrooms. 

I realize that the last two paragraphs I wrote were about food and the weather. As much as I could wonder why people never get past such small talk, there is something about it all is so normal and kind of comforting. 

For fun, I decided I want to take a picture every day in the month in February. Rida tells me that’s what photographers do to get out of a rut of what pictures they take. Well, considering I’m not photographer, I’m in really looking to get out of a rut. And my pictures may all be of food and the snow. And we’re back around to eating and the weather again. Like I said, kind of comforting. 

I could talk about my New Years goals. Which really are all the same goals I’ve ever had, except typed out in a word document. If we’re going by percentages of improvement, I’d say I’m probably at a 8%. Which means I’ve read 1 book so far this month, I haven’t been to the gym yet, I’m partially keeping to my budget, and I have made basically no changes in my electronics usage. I’m still torn over having many extensive goals versus one small habit to form. I.e, flossing my teeth every day. I went for the extensive list this year, which I think is even a first for me to do at the beginning of the year. 

For fun, here’s my mushroom soup.
