Daily Check-in ANG: Monday, December 22nd

Good morning/afternoon/evening, Blendies! Yesterday was the winter solstice, and you know what that means: the days are getting longer and summer is on its way! 😉

But before we break out our bikinis and sunscreen, first I want to thank Ocean and Lea for ghosting over the weekend! Lea, safe travels to Spain!

Okie dokie, what movement do you have planned for today? Or maybe it's a rest day? I'm in the latter camp, although I may do a walk or a stretch. I'm still not 100%.

Food? Anything good? Or maybe it's mediocre because you just need to eat and you don't care what it is? We are doing our annual Grinchmas dinner tonight: roast beast (roast chicken), Who Hash (hash browns), and frozen veggies. I'll make some chocolate crinkle cookies, and we'll watch The Grinch. What will you be eating tonight?

Okay folks, I hope you have a fabulous day, and I'm leaving you with a photo of one of my favorite ornaments. Whenever we travel, I like to buy a Christmas ornament from that place. In 2017, we *drove* from New Mexico to Florida and spent several days on the Gulf Coast. 2016 had been a difficult year, and this vacation stands out in all of our minds as one of the best times we spent together as a family. I love that ornaments aren't always just decorations, they're memories.

And oh, INGE! I had to remember to tell you that I was in a store the other day, and my cashier's name was Galadriel! No joke. I asked her if she changed it or if it was her given name, and her parents actually named her that! She didn't have pointy ears, though, lol!

Seriously, now. I'm done talking. Have a great day!

***All are welcome here!
