The Wrap Up

Here's the results of my March madness.

1. Continue cooking more for the famjamily.  Yaaaa, I kind of did this.  I tried to be more involved anyway, like telling my mom to add some Zesty Italian marinade to chicken breasts and adding flavours to make rice more interesting. But I haven't been taking over the kitchen.  I did bake a lot though.  I made my mom's friend's birthday cake, Slutty Brownies, mini raspberry cheesecakes, pumpkin torte, and on and on.
2. Record that "baking" song you wrote last month.  Just for the fun of it. I didn't do this BUT my brother and I did work out an agreement where I film some stuff for him and in exchange he records me.  So, it's happening kids.
3. Read my first C.S. Lewis book.  I'm in the process of reading Mere Christianity and it's incredible!!  Clive Staples was definitely under the influence of simple genius when he wrote (or actually said) this.  It's so down to earth, not height-y flight-y theology that you have to read every sentence five times.  He just speaks so logically; I'm loving it.
4. Take a family Easter card photo and actually send it to people. We've got 4 left people! They're hotter than hot cakes.
5. Go to the retirement home at least one Thursday and sing with the elderly. I'm ashamed to say that not only did I not do this, but I forgot entirely about it.  However, our church is going to sing at the retirement home on Easter Sunday.
6. Clean both dressers, bookshelves, and night table.  I kind of did this.  I cleaned out my clothes dresser which was the most important.  Two garbage bags full o' clothes out of my life!
7. |Send flowers to the secretaries at the high school.  This was the most likely one to not get accomplished but it happened.  I tried to avoid doing it multiple times because I was second-guessing whether or not I should do it(funny how we do that hey?), but one day I just made myself park in front of the flower shop and it was all good from there.
8. Do laundry!  I tried to make a habit of folding laundry and putting it away when I noticed that it was dry. I didn't do it every day but I definitely made an effort.  I also tried to do the dishes when I knew my mom was going out of the house so that she could come back to a clean kitchen.

So, it wasn't a perfect month.  We can add it to every other month I've lived, but I'm enjoying the process!
