I bought this sweatshirt a few weeks ago and it is making me very happy. My son asked if I had it made specifically for myself because it is so on brand. I didn’t, but yes, this is me in a nutshell. It is actually quite pink but that isn’t showing up too well in the photo. I have no idea why I bought pink, I would usually buy grey or blue, but pink it is and I am fine with that.<\/p>\n

I stopped in at a library that usually has a big selection of books that have been donated to the book sale but they think they can’t sell them so they give them away. I brought 21 books home with me. Yes, I know that is ridiculous. Yes, it amused my family greatly but yes, it made me happy. There were five or six Charlotte Armstrong suspense novels in the mix. I haven’t read those in years and I am enjoying revisiting them. In related news, I decided I didn’t need to purchase any books in March. Are you admiring my (relative) self-restraint?<\/p>\n

In what my son claims is the most grown-up moment of my life, I am beyond thrilled to have purchased a new vacuum cleaner. I just vacuumed the family room and was simultaneously pleased and horrified by the amount of dirt it picked up. How was my old vacuum missing so much?<\/p>\n

I saw my first crocuses and snowdrops of the season last week. Maybe spring is actually going to arrive.<\/p>\n

My husband and I are going away for two nights in the middle of April. We haven’t had any time away in over a year because of life, stress, my husband’s accident, and our son’s chronic health issues so we are very much looking forward to this. We are going nowhere exciting and I mean that literally. We are checking into a hotel in a nearby town and we are going to sleep, eat out, go to bookstores, and hopefully have 48 hours of not worrying about anyone or anything. I can’t wait.<\/p>\n

That is not a bad selection of golden moments considering my whole family has spent the last two weeks dealing with the cold\/flu\/plague of doom. What pleasant things have happened in your life lately?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
