February

 Hey There!

Since February is pretty much over at this point and I don't see myself accomplishing anything wild in the next couple days I think now is a good time to update. I've done some goal things that I'm excited about so I want to share them. 

So I finished Life of Pi, and the book did get better so I'm happy about that. The ending was kind of annoying when he was being interviewed. There were also some graphic parts that I feel like I could have gone without. I didn't enjoy reading about someone eating tiger poop. I mean I guess you do what you have to do to survive, but personally I think I would just throw in the towel at that point. We just watched the movie too and I'm very thankful that the producers didn't consider that scene to be be great cinematic material and skipped it. The visual in my head was enough. 

I picked a new book to read from my bingo card that I'm trying to fill out. I wasn't sure what I wanted to read but there's a mix of non-fiction and fiction on there so I counted how many of each category I had and the one with more options was the genre I picked. I got non-fiction so now I'm reading Resisting Happiness by Matthew Kelly. Its a short book, only 186 pages so that shouldn't take me too long. It's an interactive book that gives you homework to do so that's a fun little addition. 

I also had my first earing sale and got to ship my first shipment and that felt so wild. It was a bit exhilarating.  Making a custom pair was also fun because I got to bring someone else creativity to life. It was also nice to not have to come up with the idea of what to make. 

I've also been cooking/ baking a lot, I tried my hand again to make Cuban black beans and I think the universe just doesn't agree with me making those. I've tried so many times and so many recipes and it's never good. I know it can be good though, the food truck I worked at had the best Cuban beans and rice. I could reach out to the owner I guess and get the recipe. Or I could could just say fuck it and stop wasting beans. If I try again I'll let you know. 

I'm currently working on my spring themed gallery wall, which I got most of the inspiration from Pinterest. I love that app. The painting I'm working on right now is turning out so much better than I thought it would and I'm actually so proud of it. The first day of spring is March 20th I think So I'm hoping to have all the paintings done by then but I am a perfectionist so I might spend a lot of time on small details. 

I've also been picking away at decluttering our home and organizing it better. We just got a new bathroom shelf and as cliche as this sounds it really does transform the space. I'm a little in love with it. I styled it too, put a plant in there. Chefs Kiss. I took before pictures of all the rooms in our house because there's things I want to change in all of them and I want before and after pictures. So maybe when I finish the each room I'll post the before and after pictures? 

I've still been doing wii fit although I do feel like I'm getting a little bored of it. It's not as much fun when you've already unlocked all the things. I do beat my records sometimes though which makes me feel pretty good. Also it is starting to warm up again and the ice is melting so I want to get out walking which I think I'll make a goal in March. I had walking as a goal in February but I didn't complete that, I did okay with getting my steps in but it was too damn cold outside. 

I think that's all I have to update at the moment. Talk to you next time!
