Friday Five: Things I Like About January

Via PBS

1. The return of Downton Abbey. This Sunday you guys! I'm seriously excited. I love getting a bed clothed in fresh sheets early on Sundays and reading a book until Downton comes on. Of course I have some tea on the bedside table to help set the Downton mood.

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.

And you? What are some of your favorite things about January?

Happy birthday weekend to my very own Lady Mary, Laura.
