Happy April Fool’s Day! Happy start of April and a new month to you! Can you believe it’s April? As you are reading this, I am hoping Tom has discovered one of his first April Fool’s pranks. I am switching out his Ale 8 for a diet version. Bahahahaha. I hope to think of a couple more pranks.

Ale 8 is a soft drink made near Tom’s hometown. It’s basically ginger ale.

Thank you again to Tanya for my adorable logo!

Planting or hatching (literal or figurative – like planting an idea or hatching a plan)

I wish I were a gardener. I think I might try to do some basil on the upper patio. I need to get a plant holder and I think I can trust Eddie Otis now. I’ve had to be bare bones on both patios due to his shenanigans. So, not literally planting anything. I can’t wait for my hydrangea to bloom! I also hope to finally fill my galvanized tub with some plants.

I am trying to hatch plans for things that are coming up this year. As an overthinker, sometimes it’s hard to pin things down. I question myself and ask “should I do that?” I hate that about myself but I am working on it. Plans can change but if you fail to plan you won’t have anything on the calendar.

Cleaning (spring)

I am trying to keep up with general cleaning with a loose schedule. I am also going to work my list! Yes, a list – finally!

Eating and drinking

Did you catch my “Groceries for Two” post? I am still meal planning for dinners. I think it’s time to change up my breakfast a bit. I’m trying to focus on protein and favorite vegetables for lunch and dinner. I am craving salads, so that’s good!

I’m drinking coffee, water, LMNT electrolytes, and some wine or a cocktail once or twice a week. If I add LMNT to sparkling water, it is such a treat!

I want simple foods right now, too. If I see a meal that looks good on someone else’s blog or on social media, I put it in my notes app on my phone.

Reading and watching

Did you catch my March Books post? I read 8 fiction books in the month of March! I have some good ones, so go back and check that out.

I am watching all the Bravo shows, Bridgerton, Age of Attraction, and Love is Blind Sweden! I also tried Love Overboard on Hulu. Talk about a dumb show! With Tom, we just finished How to get to Heaven from Belfast.

Loving

• that Mason is happy (even though I miss him)
• my spring additions to my closet – my Old Navy blouses are getting lots of wear and my gold kitten heels and my gold Mary Janes are, too.
• that I sold my shoes I wasn’t wearing
• that I finally really learned how to play mah jong!
• that I went to some cool things this month – plant BINGO, the PBS show premiere, a speakeasy, lunch with a friend, charcuterie with a friend, and some new boutiques with friends and by myself, and some happy hours with friends
• that I walked more this month

Looking back at my camera roll is a reminder of my month!

I would love to hear what you are up to Currently!
