February Flew out the window!

Holy Cow, its already March!

AS an update,

Reading:  Since my impressive 4 books in one month passed, I followed up with a big fat zero for February.  I sorta forgot how busy teaching can be!     I am in the middle of about 5 paper books that I pick up and put down at different times.  I'd like to get all my paper books out of the way so that I can move 100% to my kindle.  So I assume that by March or April I'll have another huge x4 books read!

But -   I did complete 4 Meals!  
   Cooking 1: We did BBQ shredded chicken sandwiches!
  Cooking 2:  I followed up the night with Tacos! Yum!
Cooking 3: Was more like breakfast than dinner, but boy was that good,  I made bacon (which if you know me know that this is essential.)  and spinach and broccoli scrambled eggs.

Cooking 4: I also was able to throw together another favorite of mine: Chicken Stir Fry with veggies.  I assume I'll make this again and photograph it!

   So this makes my unofficial cooking count to : 5!


Creating!

Well...  I did do a lot of this!  Again i can't believe a didn't take any photos!!!

 It all started at bunco last time.  We all place dimes in the cup every time someone rolls TRAVELERS (al twos) and then the winner takes all the dimes home. We all started talking about needing a little bag to carry our dimes from table to table.  One girl said she thought she saw one on etsy. I said, oh i think i can make a few...  So when i got home I decided to make a  BETTER version of this only smaller with corners so it'll stand on a table!   I think I made around 10 of them and I brought them to our bunco for March.  Instant hit!  I sold just about all of them.  I'll try to get a picture of the last one left over that I'll probably mail off to someone...   So thats crafting x10.


February Connections:


I had a few great connections this month!      I'll speak of two:

1 - My father in law was in town from outta state and Tad and I went to dinner with him a few times as well as with Tad's brother and his wife.
2 - My girls from bunco are also some of my closest friends from high school.  We all went to BJs Pizza and had a wonderful time reconnecting and expressing how glad we are that facebook brought some of our greatest friends back into our lives!  Really, I could not be more thankful!  We even had another old friend be our waiter and he got us in ahead of the saturday crowd!
3- My mommies birthday was toward the end of the month, so the night after my girls night, We all went out again to celebrate my mom's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

So there was my February in a nutshell.   I"ll be back on to update some pictures.
