Do Something Good
This was kind of a weird week of ups and downs. And I’m sure you know, that kind of rollercoaster week is never fun (it’s always upsetting when the plans that you were really looking forward to get cancelled). One of the things that has been helping me through the week is kind of silly, but oddly helpful. In my bullet journal, I’ve started listing things that I’m grateful for. They don’t have to be big things, but just something that day that made it a little better. Some of my things have included an episode of The Mindy Project, my acupressure pillow, or even just a fully charged kindle. Remembering that there are always some little good things sprinkled throughout the week just makes me a little happier.
On Something Good
- The March budget is up for you to read (and shop!)

Around the web
- This Maxim model is running for Congress. But don’t let the headline fool you, she actually has a pretty impressive career of working in the government.
- I don’t know what I love more, the scallops or the peplum.
- I think this explains why the Queen of England is still doing so well. Speaking of which, she’s also hiring.
- I’m kind of a fan of this front tie shirtdress trend.
- Want to encourage people to read the classics? Why not try click bait headlines?
- Too much floral? Just enough?
- Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are hosting a crafting show. This is the show I never knew I needed.
- Still in love with these flats. Still waiting for them to go on sale.

Yes, this crafting show sounds delightful! Homegoing is next on my pile…High expectations, so hopefully that works out 😉 And I’m a big fan of Richard Russo!
It was pretty good! I had a difficult time following the names at first, but I caught on pretty quickly.
I had to put down the Richard Russo part way through. It was good, but I think I need to go back to it at another time.
