What I'm Into March 2015

Hello March Madness! This has been a great Month and hear are some highlights!

-Meeker and I started a massive yard project- we worked hard for 1 day and haven't touched it since... but we've been busy! We are trying to make a fire-pit pad (nothing fancy, just a temporary hangout zone).

-Kimi Came to Visit!
Having a BFF visit is great because you can plan things like "watch tv", "take naps", and "order pizza".. which is basically all we did. We did walk around downtown durham in the rain for a few hours and then go on a massive 2 hour walk around a fancy pants neighborhood that never ended!  It was nice having some girl time and being with a friend that requires no effort! Love that Kimi!

-March Madness ! It's madness! I love watching the NCAA tournament because you never know what is going to happen! (see previous post). Last Saturday we went to visit our dear friends Ryan and Jeff to meet their new baby and watch some games- this turned into a 8 hour lounge-fest on their deck watching the glorious march madness! It goes on my top 5 march madness watching moments (yes there is a list).

-Meeker got to go to Vegas (for work) and DC (for fun)!


What I’m Reading:
Not a lot of reading of actual books but I did find a new blog I like-
Mr. Money Mustache!  I found out about this blog from a podcast (shout out to CYG!); It's a little extreme- this dude retired at 30 and is very frugal.
But it was incredibly inspiring- I definitely binged it for 3 days. 

With all my time off I finally went through my pile of Real Simple magazines that have been stacking up.. I stopped paying for that magazine like 2 years ago, but somehow I am still getting it!? I'll take it.
I used to devour this magazine, but for some reason its not as interesting..

 What I’m Watching: 

I am still going strong w the regulars: The Walking Dead- Better Call Saul-  
and Hart of Dixie, which just got cancelled.. I get it, but sad.! booo!
also LOVING
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt!  A netflix original masterpiece. I will say- the first half of season 1 was sooo much better- felt like the characters became a little stupid towards the end (her lawyers and her dad).. but Titus Andromeda!







After Unbreakable, I was finally inspired to finish the last two seasons of The Office on Netflix.. not bad!

Interested in Blood Line! and will probably start that after the above shows are over for the summer.
Coach Taylor forever!



What I’m Listening to: 
I went on a big Death Sex Money Binge during my lunch break walks.. So good! If I were to recommend an episode it would be the Valentines Day Special.. so sweet! The cheating episode was a little disturbing.. Loved the Senator saved my love life!!!!

Other Things I’m Into:

Every Dollar- The new Dave Ramsey Budget tool that was launched last week! I really like it so far-- i wonder how it compares to YNAB.. but we follow (loosely) to Dave Ramsey's baby steps anyway, so puts all of it in one place! I am getting the "free trial" of the plus and I really like it.

And that's March!
