52 Questions, Weeks 10 & 11 and Update
March has been a slow month for us and not much has been going on. We haven't had any visitors and we haven't been anywhere, although I did go to New Orleans for a night last week for work (and got to see my friend Jaime's super cute--and super new--baby boy Cash!).
We're about to get busy, though! Matt is going to St. Louis next week for a conference and so I get to have an excuse to take a little time off since we will be babysitter-less. My parents and possibly my sister, nephew and brother will be coming down for Easter. They'll be here for a long weekend, so we'll be doing a little sightseeing while they are here. Then Matt and Juliette have Spring Break the week after Easter and Juliette will spend it with Matt's parents, which I hear have plans to take her on a train ride and to the zoo! Meanwhile, I still have two trips to take for work--a one-day one to West Louisiana and Southeast Texas and then a two-day trip to Baton Rouge, West Mississippi and North and Central Louisiana.
The end of the spring semester of classes--for both Matt and Juliette--are just a little over a month away and Matt is planning to take three classes this summer. We're hoping we can get Juliette into the university's daycare this time around since she has been on the waiting list for a while now. Since the summer semester is shorter than a regular semester, Matt will have to be in class everyday for a few hours each day and so it would be best to just have Juliette in an all-day, all-week daycare.
And, we got confirmation today that we will most likely have an apartment ready for us at the family housing complex at the end of June (when our lease is up on the house we are in), so I'm VERY much looking forward to being able to loosen the "purse-strings" and have a little extra money each month. In the next month, though, I'll be doing a bunch of cleaning out and getting lots of stuff together for a garage sale in May at my aunt's house. I cleaned out when we moved into this house last summer, but really and truly there is SO much more we can get rid of that we haven't used in forever, so my goal is to get us down to the bare minimums...I just have started feeling so clastrophobic with all our "stuff" and just really want some simplicity and minimalism.
Here's my answers to the questions for week 10 and 11. Week 12 question should be up soon since we are behind (I think!):
to keep with you forever, what would it be?
I wish I was more of a fashionista and could tell you that I had this fabulous shirt or pair of shoes or something like that that I just absolutely love, but at the end of the day, what I love the most and what I would hate to give up is my comfy pajama pants and sweat pants and t-shirts.
Although, I would love to get a $5,000 shopping spree in New York courtesy of the TLC TV show "What Not to Wear," whenver I see that show, I always think about having to give up the sweat pants and t-shirts and "comfy" clothes and I think I would just be miserable if Stacy London (the show's host) told me I needed to wear jeans and a camisole and a jacket to "run errands" in and sit around the house! Ugh! So, that probably tells you a lot about me...when it's all said and done, I'll choose comfort over looks on most days!
Although, I don't think my comfy clothes are in danger of going extinct (unless, of course, Stacy London is going through them), I've yet to own an article of clothing that I can't bare to part with since they are all replaceable.
Who would you want to play you in a feature film about your life?
Tough question! I really can't think of anyone! I guess it would just have to be some unknown, new actress.
