I realize there isn't much to wrap up since I haven't posted anything in over a week, but just humor me okay? The idea mill that is my brain hasn't come up with much in the way of brilliant blog posts, so here's just a brief outline of what's going on around these parts.
- I'm breaking out of my normal trend of reading only one or two books at a time and am currently plowing my way through four, count 'em, FOUR decent length books. At first I was only going to tackle three, but I got overly excited one day while browsing Amazon.com and treated myself to "The Greatest Generation" on my Kindle. And of course in my excitement I wasn't going to wait to finish any of the other books until I started the new one, so.....here we are. Things are moving right along so far, but I'm finding it hard to make significant progress with any of them because there are only so many hours in the day, and only so many that I can manage to keep my eyes open.
- Also a break from my normal routine, I've started watching documentaries while I exercise. God, would you listen to me. Reading? Documentaries? Are my nerdish tendencies shining through bright enough? But for reals, I totally dig the docs, you guys. And strangely enough, watching them while I run actually hold my attention better than a lot of other things. Right now I am smack dab in the middle of a fantastic mini-series by Ken Burns called "The War," and it is the hands down best show about WWII I have ever watched. I think I will cry when it's over, and not just out of joy because we're going to win the war. It's totally legit, and I highly recommend.
- Take m on a trip I wanna go somewhere...... Did you sing that sentence like I did in my head? Because it sums up my feelings precisely. I'm ready to go places, y'all, and I'm really getting amped up for May because the hubs and I are going to New Orleans for his sister's college graduation. It will be good times for sure, and in the meantime I'm trying to come up with other fun activities for us to embark on. I am beyond ready for some changes in scenery and would love to get away for the daily hustle and bustle for a bit.
- This time of year always makes me want to be out on the softball field. I guess old habits die hard. Lately when I've been taking my dogs out for a walk after work, we'll see the tail end of the high school team practicing, and I feel a pang of jealousy that I'm not out there with my glove. I definitely love the game, but I also loved the friendships I made while playing, and how close you would be to your teammates by the end of the season. My friends and I had some of our best moments together out on the softball field, and this time of year always brings up those memories for me.
- Speaking of being outside.....the hubs and I are working on our spring/summer outdoor improvement projects list for the casa. On the handful of nice days we've had since the first of the month I've gotten my butt outside and went to work raking, cleaning out flower beds, and chopping down branches from the annoying pine trees that line the fence in our backyard. It felt amaze-balls to be outdoors, in the fresh air, and not freezing my butt off. I am so ready to make that an everyday occurrence and can't wait to get started on beautifying our outdoor space.
- March Madness. Enough said.
