Life: It Goes On - March 8

Happy Sunday! I'm looking forward to a sunny, warm day here in Omaha - doors and windows will be thrown open! While it's going to be a one off and the temps will drop 20 degrees the rest of the week, days like this tell me spring is just around the corner. 

We were forecast to have severe storms on Friday evening but entirely dodged those so I completely relaxed...until Miss H sent me a photo of the t.v. screen showing that she was in a tornado warning in K.C. The funnel moved across town in a line that basically covered every place she's lived in that area. I can't believe my mama spidey sense didn't already have me paying attention to the weather down there. Am I losing my mama skills?! 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished Kevin Wilson's Run For The Hills and started Matthew Quick's The Silver Linings Playbook, which I'm about half way through. Next up is Patrick Suskind's Perfume. 

Watched: We've started watching season 2 of Wednesday and I'm sorry to say that we're not enjoying it as much as we did season 1. It feels like there's just too much going on in this one. 

Read: I finished Kate Schatz's Where The Girls Were and started Melanie Benjamin's The Windsor Affair, which I will finish today. Next up is Claire Lombardo's Same As It Ever Was. 

Made: A "use everything in the refrigerator" pasta (asparagus, mushrooms, spinach, chicken off of three drumsticks) and Korean bbq and rice with asparagus. If two people buy a whole bundle of asparagus, it will be consumed over the span of a few days. 

Enjoyed: A friend and I went to hear Anna Quindlen speak on Tuesday and she was really terrific, clearly someone who has been doing this thing for a long time. Also, dinner last night with the Big Guy at one of our favorite places.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: It's going to be another week of paperwork and decluttering. 

Thinking About: Gardening and what changes we want to make in our gardens and outdoor living spaces this year. 

Feeling: Sad for my sister's family today; her father-in-law passed away this morning. Hard for them to lose both dad's in about four months. 

Looking forward to: Sunshine later into the days! I know some of you hate daylight savings time, but I live for it. 

Question of the week: We've been doing a lot of mattress research this week and every time I think we've settled on "the one," we read another site that says that one's not as good as another one. What do you have and would you recommend it?
