Can I do a "looking forward' post when we are 40% of the way through the month already? Why not - I make the rules!
In March I am excited about...
Date night Okay, this one already happened. We had our nanny come babysit on a Saturday and she did twin bedtime AND one big kid bedtime and another big kid stayed with my mom and it was amazing to not do bedtime. Andy and I had Wine and Pizza and stayed out until 10:30. It was fun.
Book Club A friend of mine started a book club and I love it. We read The Women for this month's book club (which also already happened because I am so late posting this). I enjoyed the book and the discussion. Is it really about friendship? I'm not too sure.
Massage I have a massage person I adore. She lives around the corner and she is always booked up and I started booking myself a massage ever 6 weeks or so. I know this is super 1%er but also, it's the same price as drinks or dinner out and I enjoy it so much and rarely ever go out for drinks or dinner.
Dinner with ex-colleagues I still meet up with some of my colleagues from the job I left in 2022 and we are going out to dinner this month and I'm looking forward to catching up with them
Theatre For Mothers Day (which is this Sunday in the UK) I am going to London to see The Lion King with my mom and Ezra and Lily! It is going to be a BIG day - London is 2.5 hours by train from me - but I think it will be memorable and fun. The kids are going to ride on a double decker bus! And see London things! They have only ever been to the train stations before in transit so it will be awesome to walk around London with them for a few minutes.
Going to the Office I haven't been to the Bath office since January and I have two Office days this month and I'm looking forward to seeing people (and wearing my new blazer!)
Holiday adventure It's Easter Half Term soon and I'm off to Portugal! That's really the highlight of course. More details soon - exciting times!

There are a lot of exciting things happening in March. I am feeling very out of routine, even though part of what put me out of routine is awesome fun things that I want to do. Like going on date night, or out to dinner, or to London. I know these are far more memorable than whether I ate decent food and did decent sport. And I also know that going to london for a day does not preclude me from doing sport for two weeks. But... I get out of routine easy, and then I am out of routine.

Also, there's some media stuff I'm excited about. For instance, I really enjoyed Writers and Lovers
You are going to have so much fun in London! When I lived there I used to go and get half price tickets and I LOVED going to the theater! I got to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and My Fair Lady and they were both great. Also, I saw Lion King in San Francisco and I really enjoyed the show, so I know the kids are going to like it. Tell them that my favorite was the giraffe (although all the animals are pretty darn cool)!
ReplyDeleteAlso PS sumif is one of my favorites, although I do love a good pivot table. #excelnerdsunite
I miss watching Scrubs (reruns) with you. What a fun March! You DO make the rules.
ReplyDeleteI am also out of routine because I'm on a jury for a trial and it would be really nice to get back to my life, even if thst life is 40% work and 40% dealing with tiny humans. There's also sleep in there, therapy, and maybe 10% fun/relaxing stuff.

You have a fun month ahead of you! No shame about booking a massage every 6 weeks. That's a great form of self-care. Getting a massage is my favorite form of self care. I need to work on doing it more often. I usually try to get one on a "shouldless" day but I don't have one of those booked yet so I should get on that! The first half of March was quiet as I did not travel. Then I travel to Atlanta next week, Detroit the following week, I'm back for a day from the Detroit trip and then fly to DC with my 8yo to visit my sister for 4 nights. So I'll be gone 8/16 nights in the back half of the month! Yeesh. Life is busy.
