March Wrap-Up

This post is going to be really lame. I'm sorry. March came and went in the blink of an eye, and I'm not sure I'm okay with that. I was simultaneously super busy and did almost nothing that was blog-worthy.

Matt's been applying and interviewing for jobs this month and last. I've been trying to keep my anxiety levels low, but I think all I've managed to do is get used to the feeling of being constantly stressed out. At least I'm not panicking and randomly sobbing on people anymore?

The good news is that my business had its second-best month ever, and I am really happy with how things are going, on a professional level. I'm getting to work for awesome clients, and I like the work I'm doing, and I like having the freedom to balance life and work, and I like that every day presents new challenges. I hope that things will continue to be this good!

From our quick beach weekend in Port Lavaca.
By the way, today is the Rangers' Opening Day. Matt has told me enough times in the last few days that the knowledge is stuck in my brain.

Food Challenge: Cook All The Way Through a Cookbook
I'm cooking through the "Bride and Groom First and Forever" Cookbook.

I did not cook anything from this cookbook this month. But I did feed us, I promise. I even got Matt to eat barley and mushrooms one night! And he had thirds.

Completed: Still 34 of 150

Food Challenge: Sample Every Flavor of Blue Bell Ice Cream
We went on the Blue Bell Creamery tour, which is where I tried the new Sea Salt Caramel flavor!

While we were there, I saw a tub of a flavor I hadn't heard of, Creole Cream Cheese, so hopefully that will be available soon, because it sounds interesting.

Completed: 59 out of 74 flavors

Other Adventures
I did some random stuff, like working the primary election and going fabric shopping with my sister. Matt passed his dissertation defense. I spent most of the month being totally stressed out. I participated in a disaster simulation. And we had a great discussion about not apologizing for or justifying food.

What's the best thing that happened to you in March?
