March Madness

Total madness here! Just kidding; well, sort of. Things have been crazy busy around here but I suppose that's a good thing.

I kicked off this week by having my entire closet crumble within itself, leaving a pile of "closet" large enough to completely overtake the elliptical in my room. Which really, is such a shame since that elliptical my parents "had to have," gets used only once in a blue moon. Hah! With everything being so hectic-- particularly Dad's schedule between Real Estate & the Seafood Festival-- three days later, the pile remains.

Jenn & I are supposed to go to a Yankee/Red Sox game on Friday however, I got the tickets off ebay for an excitingly low price and...yup! You got it. Have yet to see the tickets and today is Wednesday. Yes, the Wednesday as in 48-hours before the game. So something that would happen to me the one time I venture to trust ebay. Hopefully someone is just taunting my lack of patience and uncanny ability to worry & I will get them either today or tomorrow, even Friday. Late is better than never, right?

Samantha is coming into town this weekend for a few days since it's her Spring break. I'm a little upset that I took all my Spring breaks for granted. Wish someone would have told me they wouldn't last forever. Really though, they probably did. Had I known last year that it was going to be my last Spring break of my life, I think I would have done something way more fun-- or at least something more fun than training, since in the end, that sacrifices didn't change anything. Either way, we'll have a great time together. Spend some time on the beach & relaxing. Out weekend mission is to find Sam a fabulous semi-formal dress.

Need to get back on my bucket list grind. The game Friday would give me a chance to cross it off...if we make it there. Want to get a puzzle sometime soon to start working on but I think I need to get my closet situation fixed so I have some room. My next project is to start training for a half marathon to run sometime this summer. Chrissy, Della & I were throwing around the idea of running the Chicago Rock & Roll Half on August 14th. Hopefully we can pull it off!

I got Amy-- my first cousin on my Dad's side-- a gift for her baby shower coming up in a few weeks. It is adorable if I do say so myself! Need to get it in the mail and up to my Grandmother in time for her to take it to the shower.

No life changing events happening here lately. I have a meeting tomorrow with the Religious Education Director at San Marco Catholic to discuss how I can get involved with the program and ultimately teach a CCD class. Have another meeting Saturday to sit on the panel for a non-profit organization getting starting on the island called Bedtime Bundles. Feels so great to get involved in different organizations. With my parents, I feel like I have some big shoes to fill.

Until next time, keep dreaming big xo
