Whether it’s a project you’re working on, plans you have this weekend, an event you’re going to, etc. What’s something that’s got you excited?
The weekend.
A friend is smoking a brisket this weekend 🤤
I’m getting married on Towel Day. To a woman who is excited that I wanted to get married on Towel Day.
Bad Ass. are towels a part of the dress code?
No but I think I’ll get them as gifts
May your wedding towels be full of nutrients!
Now I want a towel shaped cake
With mint frosting
Just uhhh, don’t forget to bring a towel.
I’m sure a hoopy frood like you always knows where your towel is though.
The days are finally longer than the nights and I’m starting to see grass underneath the snow. I’m looking forward to start working in the vegetable garden and being able to have a nice cup of tea outside in the sun.
Enjoy it! We’re going the opposite way now. One of the major downsides of living in the southern hemisphere is people forgot why the holiday season landed in the middle of winter. It was to give people something to look forward to and help them through the dark months… There is NOTHING like that during the winter here. It can be pretty bleak!
I guess you need to get your own version of the swedish summer vacation.
Kicking addiction once and for all. No, I mean it, this will be the year I get my brain back.
Good luck on this difficult road to redemption!
I’m going on vacation *next Tuesday! We’re driving south until it’s aggressively springtime, and then we’ll see what’s next. Probably hiking, sleeping late, and waffle house. I’m a simple sort.
Edit- I have no concept of time. Boo.
Sometimes simple pleasures are the best and just what we need.
I’m taking three days of annual leave between Easter and ANZAC day next month. I’ll be out of the office eleven days straight. Time to properly unwind.
I started to learn how to dance. You know, with other people. I’m really not the type. It’s embarrassing and terrifying. It also really helps me confront some of my fears. I’m pretty proud of that.
Let’s see what this leads to.
My younger daughter’s 3rd birthday is next week. That’ll be pretty fun.
We’re also going on a family vacation this summer across the country. We had been planning to fly, but after comparing prices we discovered it would be cheaper to rent an RV and make it a road trip. I’m looking forward to doing that with my kids.

Roughly four months after being run over and rendered bed bound my mom is taking the next step in her recovery. Literally. She’s been okayed to start walking. She recently went to her first physical therapy session and is working on getting that leg strength back. Still a ways from walking even with a walker but hey progress is progress.
My lemongrass plant that I tend to neglect is showing signs of life. Seriously I haven’t changed the pot or soil of it in at least two years now. Not to mention the amount of times I forget to give it water. It’s a miracle the poor thing has lasted this long really. But today I noticed some new growth so that’s cool.
I finally got a new dishwasher to replace the one that was spewing water, and my husband promised he’d tackle getting the laundry washing machine replaced with one that works soon. I’m very excited for when i get to stop going to the laundromat!
Nothing :(
I get to sing in three concerts in the next five weeks. All three are going to be very fun, and one of them is at Carnegie Hall!
Wow! Is that a career? What’s the coolest place or thing you’ve performed?
Is that a career?
Nope, choral singing is something I do as a volunteer. But I do it a lot! Primarily with my local symphony chorus, another small local group, and occasionally on tours.
This will be my third time singing at Carnegie, which is always fun. Hard to say the coolest place I’ve performed, but definitely up there is the American cemetery in Normandy, France. Also Winchester Cathedral in the UK.
The coolest thing I’ve performed is also tough. Literally my first concert with the symphony chorus was a performance of The Two Towers. Like, the movie played while we performed the soundtrack. It was incredible. I’ve gotten to do a few of those movie concerts. I also really love when we get to do video game music, those concerts are always a blast. Getting to shout the grunts in the Dragonborn song from Skyrim on a stage is so cool.
And then of course there’s Carmina Burana which features O Fortuna which most people have heard somewhere, and Verdi’s Requiem which features the most terrifyingly awesome Dies Irae of all time. Staples like Mozart’s Requiem and Beethoven’s 9th are always a blast.
I’m seriously privileged to have the talent and opportunity to participate in this stuff. It’s so much fun.
Tried skiing and it was really fun. Surprisingly did not hurt myself wiping out or crashing into a tree.
Thinking of trying snowboarding next year.
