Life: It Goes On - March 22

Happy spring?! Yesterday it was 94 degrees here. We ate dinner on the patio, but had to cut our time short out there because we were getting too warm. Crazy for March; in fact, a new all-time high for March in Omaha. Also hard to believe it's spring when we're having fires in this state that we typically wouldn't see until August; thanks to a very dry winter and high winds of late, we've had the biggest fires the state has ever seen. 

Mind you, a week ago, we were in a blizzard warning. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: Since I last updated, I finished The Silver Linings Playbook, started Perfume (but had to return it before I finished it), and I'm now listening to Stoner, by John Williams. 

Watched: So. Much. Collage Basketball! I love to watch all of the games, mens and women's. But the highlight so far has been our Husker men winning their first ever NCAA tournament game and then a second game that puts them into the Sweet 16. Nebraska fans traveled en masse to Oklahoma City so make that arena feel like a home game - it's been so exciting to watch them this weekend. 

Read: Claire Lombard's Same As It Ever Was. 

Made: Since I last wrote, we had company for about a week and while they were here I made coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, and lasagna. Yesterday I made Jeff Daniel's favorite sandwich, which has been all over social media. If you haven't seen it, it's a pita with a thick layer of peanut butter on one side, topped with crunched up cheddar and sour cream chips and bbq sauce. Sounds so weird, but I liked it. The Big Guy wasn't as big a fan. 

Enjoyed: Despite the fact that my sister and brother-in-law were here for his father's funeral, we had plenty of time with them to catch up.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: I think this will be a pretty quiet week so I'm hoping to get back to doing some decluttering. 

Thinking About: Meatloaf. I've been wanting meatloaf for a couple of weeks now - I think it's time to finally make it. What a strange thing to crave. 

Feeling: We've had a lazy weekend, putzing away on things to be done and taking naps. It's been wonderful! 

Looking forward to: Book club Tuesday to discuss Laura Prescott's The Secrets We Kept. 

Question of the week: Are you a March Madness fan?
