Wow...goodbye, February!  This was one crazy month.  Now if I can just make it to March 31st, maybe I'll have time to sit down and blog about it.  March 31st = deadline to have National Boards portfolio in the mail.  I think I can, I think I can...

Today, I'm taking it pretty easy.  I'm trying to ward off the crud that is attempting to make it's home in my lungs and sinuses.  Yuck.  I'm off to the local food co-op to check it out...I'm picturing t-shirts, Birkenstocks and patchouli, but I'm so excited! (To be fair, I probably will be wearing Birkenstocks with my t-shirt and jeans...but I'm fragrance-free today.) I have a few things I am looking for that I just have not been able to find anywhere else. 

I'm making a big pot of Green Soup with Mushrooms from my favorite soup cookbook.  I will have it to dip into all week long for lunches!  I am going to eat a big bowl of soup and a nice big salad before heading to a Super Bowl party tomorrow to try to ward of unnecessary snacking.  I'm bringing a big bowl of guac - healthy and delicious, so I'm going to try to stick to that...and a beer (it is the Super Bowl, after all).

I've been crafting away.  I made a photo pillow for myself, and I brought it to the Peru fundraiser Silent Auction, and will be making a custom photo pillow for the winner.  I also made a wristlet key chain as an example, and will be making five somewhat-custom key chains according to the color preference of the winners!  The fundraiser was a lot of fun and I think quite a bit of money was raised. 

It's a pretty lazy, blah day here in Washington.  The day dawned sunny, but the clouds have slowly crept in.  Right now the skies are gray, and I'm feeling like napping.  I'd better head to the co-op before I lose my will to get off of the couch!

Happy weekend, y'all.
