Project March: Part 2

The (true) story continues.

March 7

Today was a pretty rough 11 hour day. It wouldn't have been so terrible had it not been for the 8 hour headache I had.

In the spirit of omg-can-this-day-just-be-over, I present a very unimpressive picture of the bed I flopped down on today after mauling a Wendy's chicken sandwich with my mouth.

I will also note that I did not cry today, so that's how you know it didn't break me. It was just a bad day. Those are allowed to happen, right?

March 8

Today was an awesome day. It was perfect weather for a convertible, and when I came home from work, I got to spend so much time sewing and playing guitar. A perfect hobby day.

Don't worry: I took the picture in the parking lot and not while I was driving. You can tell by the way my hair isn't all over the place/my face.

March 9 

Today I came home and I actually felt like cooking, so I actually cooked.
I made "African Chicken Stew" - Mike calls it "African Lion"- and mushroom-raisin couscous.

I know. I'm fancy.

Here are a few of the ingredients:
Main: chicken
Vegetable: carrots, onion, stewed tomatoes, bell pepper, chickpeas
Seasonings: olive oil, garlic, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, pepper, honey
(and then you serve it on top of the couscous and it is soooooooooooo good)

What was cool was that after I ate the African Chicken Stew, I was able to run like an African.

Early today, I signed up for the Gulfstream 5k happening April 9th. I was like, "Hmmmm. I haven't run a whole 5k since when I was training for my bridge run - before December."

And then I walked outside and ran a whole 5k. Like, I ran the whole thing.
Actually, I did 3.25 miles like an overachiever. It took me 38 minutes, but whatevs.
Looks like I won't have to train hard, if at all, for the 5k in April.
I just gotta eat some African Chicken Stew beforehand.

March 10

I went to my friend's house to help her clean out and organize things for her neighborhood yard sale.
We found a couple of interesting things... like this mustache and a piece of flare that says, "Question Reality" as I am modeling here.

Cecelia was like, "Don't take this the wrong way, but you really look like a man."

March 11

Instead of going out for dinner like Mike and I normally do on Fridays, we decided to have leftovers and then play football in the backyard. It was great.

I also had Mike take a lot of pictures of me and Sam. Sometimes I forget how massive he really is until we take a full body-size picture of him which reveals that, yeah, he's like the size of my torso.

The whole unabridged photo shoot:

This one's my favorite.

March 12

I woke up today to lovely birdsong like Cinderella and decided to have my quiet time outside in the beautiful weather this morning.

Coffee with Christ. You should try it some time.

Being outside reading the Bible and having coffee at 9:30 on a Saturday morning is so much better than being inside working on tax returns for no additional compensation at 9:30 on a Saturday morning.

TRUE STORY.

March 13

Why isn't daylight savings time obsolete yet?
I am so tired today and still got like 9.5 hours of sleep.
What is up.

I'll tell you what's up.
40 pins.
18 pleats.
1 skirt.

That's what's up.
Or, rather, it's going to be up on the day I sew the pleats and connect it to the bodice.
But today is not that day.
