Happy Tuesday. It’s U.S. Nationals week in Houghton, Michigan! It’s always a treat to ring in the new year at a ski race, even though that means I have been going to bed at 10pm on NYE for the last 8 years…wouldn’t have it any other way! (yes I would) It has been relatively warm here, right around 30F, gray skies, and a fun atmosphere with tons of racers. It is a fun change of scenery from some of our first SuperTour races, and I'm looking forward to the rest the week. I will give some sort of recap next Tuesday.
In the spirit of ringing in the new year, here are my takes on what is “In” and “Out” for 2023. These are not resolutions, just opinions. Take them as you will ;)
In:
Caring about stuff
Mittens
Cappuccino
Going for walks
Cardamom, the spice
Lipstick
Getting off your high horse
Spontaneous phone calls
Shrek the third
Thinking about things from other people’s perspective
Lorde
Making decisions
Whole milk
Listening more than talking
Appreciating the Midwest
Eye contact
Thank you notes
Doing a good job
Greeting people by name
Out:
“Taking a break from coffee”
Leaving pile of clean laundry in bin for weeks and sifting through
Cold toes
Natural shampoo
La Colombe oatmilk double latte
Read receipts
Clutter
Sweet pickles
Being in a rush
Overpromising
Filling the silence
Fluorescent lighting
Netflix original reality TV shows, all of them
Pizza with fish on it
Cars without snow tires
Thyme, the spice
Keeping never-worn piece of clothing in back of closet
Cheers to 2023!
Cardamom buns. I was impatient and did not let them rise so they were DENSE but they tasted good. Maybe someday I'll get it down.
