The traditional Chicago style hot dog on the eve of Passover. I dont know why this has become the tradition for us, but Im not mad about it. Im already thinking about the tacos Ill be ordering when we break Passover in a week.

#TGIF friends! It has been a week 😮‍💨. I was reminded last night that its been 6 months since coming back from my month-long birthday trip. I came back from that trip enlightened, refreshed, excited for life, & ready to hit the ground running. Being home & getting back to minutiea of work & all the things Ive got to do at home has really made this trip feel so far removed from where I am now which is bogged down & uninspired. So Im going into this weekend channeling that trip again & resetting my mindset. Im declaring now that the rest of this year & life moving forward is going to build from my experiences & mindset on that trip. Im feeling optimistic & ready to bring to have life look & feel like this every day ❤️.

For anyone else feeling like they need another reset, dont forget you can reset as many times as you need & that is ok.

Spring things ❤️. This is one of my favorite times of year when everything starts coming alive again. Im trying to enjoy being outside as much as I can, especially when I sit at a computer all day for work. Springs reminds me that dormancy is not forever and that change will happen. One day, all of the things Im working towards will come to fruition & now its time to stop and appreciate the journey.

Happy 70th Birthday, Mom!

I cooked tonight. Thanks @angelsings28 for being my sous chef. Not pictured the sautéed garlic spinach Marcy made because Im going to eat that after I finish this pasta. In case anyone is wondering its a roasted pepper & cherry tomatoe sauce with garlic, shallots & boursin herb cheese. I also added chianti salami to my bowl. No recipe, just went through my fridge & picked out things that needed to be used up. Not too shabby for a Wednesday evening.

One of my big goals for this year is to purge our house in preparation to have some work done & make it functional & beautiful. Its been slow progress so far. I finally got all of the booze organized & in a central place thats accessible. For years, pantry items have been scattered around between the kitchen & basement to the point where stuff got buried & we didnt know what we had. I already cleaned out & reorganized all of our canned & dry goods from 5 different areas. Ive purged electronics to recycle & general recycling & have boxes ready to go to donation. Theres a lot more to do, but physically seeing the change take place motivated me to keep it up.

P.S. this is a great project for cold days like today, even though its deceptively sunny.

What a gorgeous sunset this evening! Im so glad I went for a walk in the park after work. Sometimes, you just need to enjoy a little nature in the city. ❤️🌅

P.S. happy anniversary to my Bubbie & Zadie! Zadie always loved sunsets. When we were kids, they would watch us while my parents were at work & Zadie would call us to the window every time there was a pretty sunset. Im thankful that my Zadie taught me to stop and appreciate the beauty around us.

Happy 1st day of spring! Between the flowers blooming, more daylight, spring equinox bringing Chicagohenge, warmer weather the past couple of weeks, and more walks in the park, it actually feels like a real spring in Chicago. Everything is blooming way earlier than normal & Im excited for this season of growth & renewal. I dont know why I try to be productive in the winter when all I want to do is hibernate. Now its time to get to work & more significant progress towards my goals.

This is your reminder to go vote in the primary! While Im not a fan of how our system is set up (especially after learning how other countries hold their elections and realizing its not as democratic as it should be), its still important for each of us to participate in our civil duty. If we only have 20% of the population voting, then only 20% of the people are deciding who is leading our government. The primary might only get names on the official ballot, but this is the time to do your research and voice who you want to see on the ballot in November. WTTW has a great voter guide where you can look at all of the people running & get info on where they stand on the issues. And dont forget how important the judges/judicial positions are. Its not just about the president. Our local government is just as important.

Its been so warm that my daffodils are blooming, but its only the 1st week of March. Crossing my fingers, the weather stays above freezing so my spring flowers dont die. In the meantime, Im going to enjoy these beauties & get excited about warmer weather to come.
