On a Happy Note
-
Connecting with our nephew Oisin over a re-watch of West Wing.
-
Seeing Rent- but especially how much Riley enjoys it. The show fell on Eme's 22nd birthday so that was fun too!
-
Riley turned 18! So proud of that kid!
-
Katie's Randomness (Pigskin sponsor) was having a winter sale. I splurged on two winter bags- one Gilmore Girls themed and the other Christmas chickens!
-
I checked out a new to our area secondhand shop- Uptown Cheapskate.
-
Despite cooler temps and rain, we had a lovely Easter dinner at my Dad's.
-
A text from my SIL after Easter dinner saying that Zach (who turns 4 in May) went to bed Easter night asking if my dad was coming to his birthday party.
-
I inadvertently made a ridiculously large batch of Superhero muffins because I added too much salt. Turns out I can make 94 muffins in about 3 hours. Not too shabby! Good thing they freeze well.
-
Warming temps and quieter weekends after a stressful work week.
-
My Monday morning workout turned into a country music jam! Such a fun way to start the week.
