As I look outside my window: Um… it’s currently snowing on Easter in the middle of April. This weather is terrible. It was 90 degrees when we dropped J at the airport on Tuesday, but then dropped and has been hovering between 30 and 50 degrees since then. I do not like.

Right now I am: Ready to start dying some eggs and decorating cookies!

On my bedside table: The Pool of Fire by John Christopher; The Second Story by Neil Patrick Harris; Beautiful by Christina Lauren

On my tv this week: While J was gone, I finished Shadow and Bone S1 and Starstruck S1. I also started Minx S1 (my new favorite show) and started a rewatch of the original Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes.

Listening to: Mostly the usual podcasts. Nothing exciting this week at all.

On the menu for this week:

Monday - BBQ Pork Sandwiches
Tuesday - Fancy BLT Grilled Cheese
Wednesday - Cajun Stuffed Chicken
Thursday - Bangkok Curry Noodles
Friday - Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas
Saturday - Leftovers
Sunday - Orecchiette with Sausage, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Lemon

On my to do list: I finished my primary ballot but need to go drop it at the Election Commission this week. I also need to go inside Costco and cancel my membership (it’s a waste of money for us really). I also need to finish planning our Kansas trip and officially secure the retreat lodgings.

Happening this week:

Monday - Dentist appointment (permanent crown!)
Tuesday - Errands Day (grocery, pet store for crickets, library run)
Wednesday - Home Day
Thursday - Coop
Friday - Earth Day Party with Coop Friends
Saturday - Home Day
Sunday - Home Day

What I am creating: Nothing at the moment. I finished my March Memory Planner pages and have yet to start on April’s pages.

My simple pleasures: Laughing until I cry (seriously, who says “squabbing the deck”? All I can picture is someone scrubbing the deck with a defrosted plucked chicken. Too funny.

Looking around the house: Easter has exploded in the living room. Need to clean this up later… And the boys really need to finish cleaning their play room.

From the camera: We rented chicks for the week from a local farm. Shadow and Sunshine have been delightful so far! We are keeping track of their weight, giving them toys, and tempting them with different treats. Strawberries were not a hit, but popcorn and hard boiled eggs were.
