Life:
What a cold week! The three day weekend was extended with a snow day on Tuesday. Too cold to go outside so we made chocolate chip cookies and chex mix and didn’t get out of our pjs. I couldn’t do that everyday, but it felt nice. I started daydreaming about summer.
I took care of several adult tasks for myself, my aunt and my mom this week–why does life involve so much paperwork? And why is so much of it so confusing?
3 Good Things:
One: Today my daughter spent the day at an honor choir festival for middle school students. It was at a local high school north of us and included kids from schools all over the suburban area. We got to go at the end of the performance and it was outstanding. Kids really boggle the mind–they learned four songs in one day.
Two: I spent Friday reading and it was amazing. I have a long list of items on my TBR and it felt amazing to simply take the time.
Three: I love podcasts and I love it when I find a new to me podcast. I stumbled upon The British Food History Podcast a few weeks ago. It’s interesting and cozy, with a dash of humor.
