2. The ability to put on the brakes in regards to schedules. To hunker down at home, to regroup, recharge, rejuvenate. This weekend and another weekend this month have already been designated Do Nothing weekends on my calendar. In pen.
3. Everyone getting their fresh start on in various aspects of their lives. You go, everyone.
4. Vacation days are reset.
5. It's a good time to try some new recipes.
I had a ton of fun at the Mummers Parade yesterday. I'll share some pics in another post. Today? I woke up with a sore throat and a bad cold. I'm in bed with tea and a book. Good thing this weekend was a do nothing weekend anyway.
Happy birthday weekend to my very own Lady Mary, Laura.

I love the sense of a fresh start and the weekends seem less stressed and planned. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYES to Downton Abbey... we've waited long enough! :-D
ReplyDeleteFresh starts, hot soups, warm blankets, bright morning sun. Happy do-nothing weekend!
ReplyDeleteA fresh start - and it's my birthday month!
ReplyDeleteBecause if it is on your calendar in pen, then obviously it is a sure thing and happening. Duh!!! I cant wait for all the shows to start back up this month! I feel like something is missing from my life. Sad. Enjoy an awesome weekend of relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI love your thing about doing nothing in January. I adore just relaxing at home, saving money and keeping warm. Also, the bachelor starts on MONDAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better! I've been recouping from a nasty head cold myself. I love do-nothing. This weekend is a do-nothing. Brother gets hitched at the end of the month, so I have to take time when I can! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYessss, the clock restarts on leave. AND since I past my 3rd year here, my leave accrues more hours per pay period. Oh yea. More spa days for me in the future ;).
ReplyDeleteYes to #2! I am with ya, 100%. Happy 2015!
ReplyDeleteDownton on Sunday is the ONLY reason I don't mind it being the weekend. School again on Monday. It'll be rough.
ReplyDelete(Do you know where I could watch season 4 online? I feel the need to review things…)
January IS good for a reset. I agree.
YES to resetting vacation days haha! I am so excited for January to be here and just relax :)
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I usually get pretty dreary about Jan and Feb....however I am really forward to having nothing I "have" to do!
ReplyDeleteDownton Abbey!!!!!!!!!!! I am so freaking excited it's a bit pathetic. Oh well!! and yay for vacation days being reset lol
ReplyDeleteI like January too because I feel it gives me permission to hibernate. I love hibernating:)
ReplyDeleteJanuary is such a weird month for me. I go back to work after having 2 weeks off, I have my 1st semester kids for the first half of the month only for finals & then have to start all over with a new set of kids the second half of the month, & it's the last time I'm back in MN until summer. Plus this year I'll be starting coaching this month too. I'm more ready for February/March when there's a sense of normalcy/routine again.
ReplyDeleteJanuary's are usually a good relaxing month after the craziness of the holidays. Yay for trying new recipes!!
ReplyDeleteLet's be serious, vacation days are reset is the BEST part!!! And my b-day :)
ReplyDeleteI love vacation days to reset. I have been hanging out at a coffee shop a lot today, just catching up on some work I needed to do...
ReplyDeleteI love the fresh start. Fresh calendar. New start. Ahhh.... I don't like the weather that comes with January...but not too many complaints here. I mean the crappy weather does mean more PJ days...
ReplyDeleteI like January in nature. While the stars of the show sleep, the vast scenery of tree branchs, rocky creeks, fields and sky take the stage. The starkness tells the secrets that are hidden in the summer and fall.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this now 1-3!
ReplyDeleteGood reasons to like January. I will love January if we have warmer temps and no snow!! You know I love staying home!! Love, your Momma
YES to certain shows coming back!!!!!! I'm waiting for Hannibal and Justified. Isn't Parks and Rec supposed to have their final season soon??
ReplyDelete#3 yes. I also laughed out loud when reading that, not sure why maybe the left over new years champagne haha. Happy 2015!
ReplyDeletei can't wait for Downton to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love January because it's my birthday month! :) It's in 24 days and I love it! Also love the "do nothing" weekends - my month of January is already full though and with dance classes every Saturday and Sunday I'm pretty much guaranteed to have to get my hiney off my sofa. :) Enjoy your "do nothing" weekend and hope you feel better Stephanie! Take Care -Iva
ReplyDeletereset vacation days are the best freaking thing in the world.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started watching Downton yet, but I think it'll be something I'll watch on netflix sooner or later.
I love having that reset!!! Yay to January!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh I need more Downton. It comes out on DVD the end of this month and I am counting down!
