Recent Doings

I have two categories of things to post - and no, they don't break down into category A or B adventures. So in this post I will try to catch up on the things I've been doing lately. Some of them are quite fun, and had I been blogging about them all along, would've made for some lovely posts.

Alas.

If only I weren't so reliably me. A more organized blogger would have wonderful, photographically illustrated posts to show for her past few weeks. A more dedicated blogger would have chronicled her adventures in real time, with the fresh blush of emotion and experience still on her cheeks. A more disciplined blogger would have...ugh.

Oh well. Moving on.

And hey, I've had a glass of wine, which makes me feel like it's ok to just gloss over things. Ah hah! So here we go with the rapid-fire catch up session. Things I've been doing:

• Visiting my four favorite humans on the planet (la familia Strull) in a very springy Chicago
• Vanquishing rodents (VICTORY IS MINE!)
• Running - ugh and yay, simultaneously
• Making a delicious feast for Stevo & Lisa before their envy-inspiring Spain adventure
• Menu item 1: homemade vegetarian lasagna with eggplant, zucchini, squash and fresh mozzerella!
• Menu item 2: crusty sourdough garlic bread
• Menu item 3: gigantic salad with many a crispy vegetable and some tasty dressing options
• Menu item 4: key lime bars. Oh yeah. 
• Battling a bug 
• I was sick for three days!
• I had so little energy, I'd limp to work, put in a few hours, limp home again and snooze on the couch until it was dark enough to get into bed and sleep for the night. Pathetic? Affirmative.
• I coughed up some colorful items and got back to my usual robust lifestyle.
• Visiting my old pal Morgan in Maine
• Emily and I "practiced" some spontaneity (that's meant to be funny since she loves to plan and schedule and feels like my job in her life is to help her  be a little less, um, structured.)
• Watched the SNOW fall while we were there. Yes, snow. On April 17th. We hate it here. 
• Re-arranging my kitchen to include some fun new storage and fantastic lighting (that Santa brought me so many months ago!) 

So now I owe photographic evidence of these things and I will provide some in my next post (read: I can't upload photos from home and will steal five minutes from my workday tomorrow to make good on my promise.)

The second category I alluded to at the start of this post will have to follow tomorrow's photo extravaganza. In honor of spring and new life all around, I'll attempt to detail some of the inner workings that surround all the doings of late. Maybe writing about them will help me sort them out. I hope that's right.

Love,
Sarah
