March is #NationalReadingMonth and today is a momentous occasion! I’ve had these books on hold at the library since mid-December and they are finally within my grasp! This marks the longest hold of my life since a certain very popular kids’ book in second grade.

What are you reading this month?

Because Wendy summoned me… I have an (85% joking) lifelong grudge against Orlando Bloom and call him my nemesis because I was annoyed by how my classmates all had crushes on him as a tween despite him being the most boring part of not one but two hit fantasy franchises. I bet he’s nice, though.

I kind of feel like I look like I’m from the mid-to-late 19th century, but in my defense, there’s COLD in them thar hills! ⛏

ANYONE wearing a red hat? 🥺

Sorry you’re not as cool as us and weren’t invited to the tea party at my mom’s house

I’m not normally a big believer in “retail therapy,” but I have to admit that this cute little purse really helps with my general mood.

I first saw it in a little shop about 9 months ago, didn’t buy it because it was outside my budget, and it’s been my white whale ever since. But now it’s mine!

Finally, an image from the DC news that made me smile this week! (The new pandas at the National Zoo— not pictured here— are officially on public display!)

Went on a snowy hike at Mason Neck today to see the tundra swans, so I naturally cosplayed as a tundra swan to inspire them to trust me. 🦢🦢🦢

My phone camera doesn’t zoom in enough to get a good photo of the swans, but they looked gorgeous through binoculars!
