Some notable things that happened:
We are CAR DEBT FREE! Meeker and I set a goal to pay off the Car by June, but thanks to a surprise double bonus (thanks world cup/soccer.com) and a huge tax return (thanks government), we were able to pay it off on Feb 8! It was a great feeling and a huge relief!
We had not 1, not 2, but 3 snow days (and 3 delayed entries) in the last 2 weeks! Snow day 1 and 2 were magical- but snow day 3 was not... we didn't anticipate losing power for 13 hours, and we soon learned that our dependence on electricity is SEVERE. Some lessons we learned: buy firewood for moments like this, always have food in the house that doesn't need to be cooked, have a way to make coffee, charge your phone before any anticipated storm...
What I’m Reading:
I actually finished 2 books this month:
I really enjoyed this book- I love memoirs, so this was right up my ally. And being in the therapy field, I appreciated his pro-therapy revelations. It was also interesting to read about his life post- Blue Like Jazz fame. Good stuff.
Interrupted was a fun read, but not life changing.. I think her audience is upper middle class white women who say "bless your heart" and have china sets that match their wall decor... but it is worth checking out.
I have a lot of Blogs I am reading, but none of them are particularly interesting to me right now.. kind of same old same old.. looking for some new material.
What I’m Watching:
So I just found out that From A to Z HAS BEEN CANCELLED! This is disappointing for 2 reasons.. 1, i really liked the show. 2. They only got to letter M! They could have atleast gone through all the letters.. geez...
The Walking Dead is back! and fabulous.. but also giving me major anxiety. Total house envy of their new gig.
Better Call Saul
IS DELIVERING as PROMISED! This show is Excellent! I had my doubts the first episode, but 3 episodes in and I am a faithful follower.
I am also all caught up on HART OF DIXIE! and they recently added a new character played by ANDIE MCPHEE! #dawsonscreekforever (thanks Nori for the link!) (also switched to #teamwade, i get it now).
What I’m Listening to:
Invisibilia- Very good! I would recommend! Does NPR ever disappoint?
Call Your Girlfriend- This podcast is not for everyone.. but I love it. It's two best friends who call each other and discuss a bunch of topics, and you get to listen to them.. I don't love all of their political views or thoughts on things, and they are kind of obsessed w talking about "periods" which I also don't love... but besides that, I love listening to this. It's nice to hear people who think differently than I do about things, and I also feel like I'm hanging out with a bunch of friends. I have found out about a lot of good podcasts/blogs/books and Uniqlo from this podcast.
Other Things I’m Into:
-Passion Planner- despite it taking 3 months for this to be delivered after it was ordered, (#startupprobs) (#kickstarterprobs) I LOVE THIS PLANNER! check it out!
-My Fitness Pal and Fit Bit: I have to lose 10 lbs by may and these two apps are great tools to help me achieve that.. it showed me I was actually eating a LOT of cookies every day.. working at the office is a struggle! Free Food everywhere!
-FRIENDS! We got to hang out with soooo many friends this month and it was so refreshing! YAY!
And that was my Feb! We shall see what March Brings!
