Haven’t done one of these in awhile. It’s interesting (to me at least) to see how my blog transitions and adapts over time. But I really do want to record my life as it happens, however broad that description of events turns out to be, so that I can look back on it and remember more of the details instead of letting the mood or feeling of the months and years fog the memories as they were actually experienced.

This week, I (and sometimes Daniel):

• experienced more snow
• had a few lovely spring days
• got my new glasses in the mail
• got my car fixed
• got fitted for running shoes (that I may buy eventually)
• went thrift shopping
• updated Water Lily Thrift
• celebrated the first day of spring by wearing pastels and floral prints
• made Brunswick Stew (it was a success)
• went to a potluck dinner
• drank too much coffee
• acknowledged my tendency to buy too much
• took in two highway scenic views and breathed the cold air
• started working on a Fair Trade Charlottesville blog
