Happy Super Bowl Sunday and Groundhog's Day! The time has come for me to look back at the last month for my monthly round-up post. Here are some of the highlights from this January:
- Celebrating the new year with Mom at Torchy's Tacos.
- Watching the season premiere of Downton Abbey. I'm so glad this show is back on my TV for the next few weeks.
- Attending the UT-Iowa State basketball game on January 18. The Cyclones were ranked 8th at the time, and the Longhorns beat them in a great game.
- Watching the U.S. Figure Skating Championships (held in Boston!) and looking forward to the Olympics in February.
- Shopping at the Round Rock outlets and IKEA one Friday after work. There were some great sales at the outlets, and I found some nice things for my upcoming trip at the LOFT store. I like shopping trips like that.
- Getting back into the walking routine during the latter part of this month.
- Enjoying one and a half snow days off from work — even if I still went into the office in the afternoon both days.
- Meeting my friend Michelle for dinner last Thursday. It was great to catch up with her and hear about her new job and apartment.
