A few weeks ago, I published a post about my copy of the deluxe limited edition version of Twilight. In the post I wrote about the book, which you can read here, I mentioned I have the 20th anniversary edition of the book and want to talk about it as well.
Now it’s time to talk about my copy!

WordPress is still doing their daily writing prompts. For quite some time, I’ve been ignoring them because I don’t want to answer the questions or talk about the topic. (There are some things I just will never want to talk about online…) Sometimes, I see one I like but decide not to use it. Today, I’m stuck trying to figure out what to blog about. This is when I saw one of WordPress’ daily writing prompts: Who are your favorite people to be around?
This was something I’ve been lamenting about on a regular basis for years. I have people I want to be around: My friends.

The sale of Warner Brothers has been really huge news for quite some time. It isn’t every day a studio as large, well known, and is over 100 years old begins the process to sell it’s assets (Including the actual studios, catalogue, and more) and start to close it’s doors.
When I heard about it, it was just a small rumbling my friends heard about. Now, we know what they heard wasn’t a rumor and it was the truth. Yet, I began to wonder what would happen if Warner Brothers did close. What would happen to a lot of movies and TV shows I love? Will they still exist on DVD still or will they be available via streaming services only?
After thinking about this for months, I finally decided to star buying my favorite TV shows and movies on DVD.

In late 2025, there was a lot of buzz about Stephanie Meyer’s novel, Twilight. It turned 20 years old in 2025. In honor of this anniversary, two new versions of Twilight were released. The first was a 20th anniversary paperback edition. The second was a deluxe limited edition.
I own both versions of the book and like both. Even though they were really popular online, I still wanted to write my own post about these books. The first book I want to talk about is the limited edition.

Last year, I pulled muscles while cleaning things out of my house. After deciding to continue cleaning, I quickly realized these pulled muscles were not ordinary pulled muscles. Yes, they were pulled muscles, but I pulled them really badly. So badly I couldn’t walk, bend down, or lift anything really heavy. My movement was limited, especially since I pulled muscles all over my body.
Once I realized this, I began to cut back on the amount of cleaning work I was doing. When that was too much for me, I began to clean less and less. After cutting back as much as I thought I could, I decided to just stop cleaning (Aside from normal home cleaning such as cleaning the bathroom, sweeping the floor, ect.) until my muscles healed.
This past weekend my muscles have healed enough for me to start cleaning again.

January 2026 was a month that didn’t turn out quite like I expected. I thought there would be a lot of problems throughout the month. Even though here were many problems, the problems were far more manageable than I thought there would be. One of these problems was things at work was slow.
Since things were slow, I decided to take any off time I had to focus on working on anything that needed to be done. I was able to sew a lot, clean a lot, and declutter my things more. I also read a lot. By the end of the month, I had finished eight books, which is more than I normally read in a month. This was because I had more time than normal to read and I read instead of watched TV.
For the past few years, I’ve been focusing on improving my eczema and reducing the amount of allergens in my food. I’m happy to say that I’m doing much better! I’m not completely eczema free and I don’t have any food based allergic reactions anymore, but the constant swelling in my body due to my allergies has gone done a lot. Also, my skin is healing from the eczema.
There are a few reasons why this happened, but the main reasons are because of major changes to my diet, major changes to my lifestyle, and I found a body wash that works great for my skin.

A few months ago, I went shopping for my groceries. On that day, they had new plants available to purchase. Some of those plants were herbs.
I browsed them and liked how healthy they looked. I wanted to buy another basil plant for months, but I debated if I should purchase one again. I normally buy my plants from a Walmart I normally shop at, but for the past few years my plants have died due to issues with fungus and bugs. (I think it has to do with the location of the Walmart to nearby farm fields.) Since I have issues with these plants, and the grocery store had really nice, healthy plants, I decided to buy a basil plant from the grocery store.
If you haven’t heard, Sprinkles Cupcakes immediately closed all store locations and their cupcake ATMs. The last day all stores and cupcake ATMs were open was on December 31, 2025. You can read a news article about the closure of Sprinkles Cupcakes here. (The article is from ABC 15, an Arizona based ABC affiliate. It talks specifically about the Arizona Sprinkles Cupcakes location, but it gives a good, overall explanation about what is known about Sprinkle’s closure.)
Sprinkles Cupcakes was started by Candice Nelson. It opened in April 2005 in Beverly Hills, California. It was a very popular bakery that specialized in, as the name suggests, cupcakes. It had celebrity fans and created something called a “cupcake ATM”, which is a vending machine that would sell cupcakes after the bakeries closed for the day. Candice would eventually sell the business in 2012 to a private equity firm.

Looking forward to 2026, I don’t have any major plans for the year. I decided not to make new year’s resolutions or make plans for 2026 due to other things going on in my life right now.
Even though I have no plans for 2026, I am looking forward to things in the new year. I already know at least ten things I’m excited for, so I picked five of them to mention in a post.
