Currently - March '18

Farewell February, and hello! March with your longer days and the official start of spring. It's nice to see you again. It's also nice to be linking up with Anne and Sarah for another Currently post.

Old Rag

planning - Upcoming travel, some for fun and more for work. We're hoping to go camping at the end of March, and I have two work trips coming up in April. With the weather getting nicer, I'm itching to plan all of the outdoor things too - bike rides, baseball games, picnics...

seeing - We saw Early Man last weekend, and have put together a list of the movies at the DC Environmental Film Festival we want to see in the coming weeks. The DCEFF has become an annual tradition, but choosing films from the impressive line-up doesn't get any easier!

making - A St. Patrick's Day lunch next weekend. After hosting an Olympics Opening Ceremony watch party with a Korean-inspired menu, I am all about the theme meals. It makes deciding what to serve easier (and for next week, Giant has done all the planning for me!)

pretending - To enjoy networking and business development. There have been a lot of changes at work in the last month, from a reorganization at the highest levels of the company to my favorite people leaving to pursue other opportunities. Both create a lot of opportunity for me to advance, and a big part of that is expanding my professional network and helping pursue new projects. Fake it 'til you make it, right?

wearing - It's definitely time to get some of my more spring-like clothes out of hiding, but March weather can be quite challenging to predict. Blooming plants and allergies don't necessarily equal warmth. There are still more thick socks and sweaters ahead than I care to admit (even as I'm wearing a down vest and wool slippers to type this).
