Busy Livin’

So I could tell you how busy I’ve been around here.

I could tell you all about my organization kick that has continued over the past month…

I could tell you all about my daughter’s first high school musical “How to Succeed in Business Without Trying” that ran last weekend and how awesome it was and how proud I was of my curtain/coffee girl…

I could talk all about our weekend with family celebrating an early Easter…

I could explain to you how great I’ve been feeling and how good it feels to be normal again…

I could talk about our Renovation project and show you photos of all the cool things we have picked out for the bathrooms, and how much I like our contractor and how excited I am to get things moving…

I could fill you in on the weather and how absolutely bizarre it has been, and how we are enjoying every single gloriously sunny warm day when it comes…

I could talk about how the whole family is in the midst of reading The Hunger Games series (except Mister of course) and how much fun it is to discuss the books with the kids…

I could highlight some of the awesome recipes I’ve been messing around with and enjoying…(you just may get a peek at the peanut butter brownie trifle I am planning to make this weekend…)

I could tell you a bit about my sister and her husband finally selling their house and preparing to move into my parents’ house temporarily while they search for “The” house… Β (Should make for an interesting summer!) πŸ˜‰

I could also explain my newfound love of coupons and grocery sales, and how proud I am of myself for saving money toward extra incidentals that might crop up during the renovation…

I could share with you the anxiety I feel as my beautiful daughter develops a new friendship with a certain special somebody, and how holding on and letting go are opposites for a reason…

I could tell you all of this and more, but I will instead share with you a couple of photos evidencing spring and come back another day. Β Too bad we couldn’t all just meet at my favorite restaurant for coffee and a chat…although I suspect coffee would become lunch, would become tea and a snack would become dinner with all there is to catch up on! Β πŸ™‚

    I’d sit down with you ANY day and hear about your busy, busy life! So glad you are feeling good these days. Spring brings newness all around! πŸ™‚

      How much fun would that be?! Hey, you never know! Perhaps we will come face to face one of these days, and chatter away I suspect! πŸ™‚

    Ah – the familiar themes of life! Wonderful for you to be feeling so much better. We’ve got the Hunger Games thing going on here too. Meghan ripped through all 3 books very quickly, I just finished the first two, but am going more slowly through Mockingjay (not as excitedly turning pages with this one – did you feel that way too?) Sarah wants to read them too, but her English teacher won’t allow those books to be read for “official” reading for assignments unfortunately, so she’ll have to wait until she has more free time for reading.
    Love your spring shots. So pretty.

      Thanks Karma!
      I ripped through the first one in two days, then the second did slow me down a bit…I devoured the second half though. Just started Mockingjay last night and honestly had a hard time putting it down even though I was exhausted. Really anxious to see how it all wraps up. πŸ™‚
      Took the girls to see the movie on Saturday. Fantastic in my opinion. A lot of detail had to be left out, and they made a few changes that bugged my teenager, but I found it very powerful….the Reaping had me ugly-crying. I’m thinking parents will find it more powerful and agonizing than the kids. Definitely worth the trip to the theatre. Little Girl wants to see it again and is lobbying to go back tonight. I was concerned about the visual gore, but quite honestly they did a lot of nifty camera tricks so much of the gore was implied rather than explicit. Disturbing conceptually, but my mature reader handled it very well.

    Sounds like Spring is coming to your family in more ways than one. πŸ™‚ Thanks for filling us in…sort of.
