Watching: Christmas movies! My faves are Arthur’s Christmas, Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Love Actually and Christmas Story.
Anticipating: My trip to Utah for the holidays. It’s a complicated story, but I didn’t book my flights home until last Friday. Once I did I immediately knew I made the right decision about where to go. I am planning on watching lots of movies, crafting with my mom and sister, eating lots of delicious treats and just generally enjoying being at home.
Listening/Reading: Christmas music, of course! I’ve added albums by Pentatonix and Idina Menzel plus singles by A Great Big World and Meghan Trainor to my collection. I’ll do a follow-up “All YouTube” entry of my favorite songs.
Eating: Christmas treats! Okay, that’s not actually true, although I am baking sugar cookies with my friend Kim tonight. Outside of the random baking event tonight I really am just trying to use up the food around my house before I leave.
Working On: Wrapping things up at work. It’s almost eerily quiet in my office this week, which should be a good time for getting things done but I’m not finding that to be the case.
Loving: That tomorrow night I’ll be hosting my 3rd annual Christmas sing along. Yay for Christmas traditions!
Playing: Monument Valley. I’m a sucker for “best app” end of year awards and this was at the top of the list for iTunes. I played through all 18 levels in about 24 hours (thanks to a sick day) and am playing through again. Puzzle games like this are usually too hard for me, but I found this very intuitive. Plus the graphics are gorgeous.
