March 2019 Recap

By Lili|April 1st, 2019|Categories: Blog Recaps and Roundups|Tags: 2019, Arrested Development, Captain Marvel, Harry Potter, play|0 Comments

I saw "The Play that Goes Wrong" which was hilarious and the amazing stage tech they displayed was perfectly used! This month I also dealt with a variety of health issues. Nothing like calling emergency services in a snowstorm and being told, yes you really should come in, but no sorry, you'll have to make your own way there. The state I was in meant I couldn't drive in, so I spent a lovely blizzardly day feeling like I was dying.

Travel Missteps: Snack for a Sheep

It will make for a cute photo, someone said, as I was handed a sheep. For a brief moment I cuddled with it, like it was a puppy. But the hungry animal saw my hair, and started eating it like it was grass. It wouldn't let go, and my mother continued to snap photos as I tried to figure out some way to get the sheep to stop or a way to set it down. The shepherd just laughed and laughed as the sheep snacked away. My hair felt pretty disgusting after that, but...the photos are pretty funny. Travel Missteps

I wrote about the time I was in Aswan, I got shown around by a local to "his family's stores" but ended up finding a wonderful shop that had everything I needed. One of those items was this beautiful bracelet with little moons all over it. I love it! Souvenir Saturday is an every-other week series on the items that represent travel memories.

This month I dealt with some really bad Carpal Tunnel symptoms. I decided to get an expensive keyboard and mouse and that helped a lot. I also started to create Travel Scrapbooks with all of the stuff I've collected from my trips. Many, many, trips to the stationery stores and I finally had all the supplies to start the project. Lastly, this is my birthday month! So I decided to go to the Denver Aquarium for the day!

Showing off my new cute sunglasses! I was happy to find them the day before because I had already had one pair of sunglasses break (and ducktape wasn't enough to fix them), and I had left another pair at a hotel, and lost another pair. So this is sunglasses number 4 for a short trip. And I loved these glasses. Cute, cheap, but still polarized! Of course, they didn't last long. I tried to hold onto them as we all hung out in the waves. All it took was a huge wave and bam they were gone. I was forced
