Attended a dear friend’s “Baby Sprinkle.” Left when it became a full on blizzard complete with a spinning STOP sign of doom. Montana sure likes its springtime snow squalls.

Received the lucky news that I had been selected to try and purchase Adele presale tickets for a concert on my BIRTHDAY! Managed to secure two tickets, spending more than I have ever spent on a concert. Haven’t been that nervous since doing a presentation in which I asked for $100k for my work’s capital campaign. Cheers to the most epic birthday ever!

Dyed Easter eggs with a loved one. Happily showed her how to shrinky-dink the eggs using the plastic wrappers provided in the kits. Cursed when I realized I hadn’t taken any photos.

Traveled 3 hours north at a very early hour to witness the snow geese migration at Freezeout Lake. Didn’t see the 60,000 birds that were there earlier in the week, but did gasp in awe watching smaller groups fly overhead.

Did an early morning book swap porch drop with a friend en route to birdwatching. She got my favorite book of the year and I got next month’s book club read complete with a sexy, near shirtless person on the cover.

Heard from the neighbor as they needed to borrow a ladder. Wondered if they were wanting to use it to remove their Christmas lights. They were!!

Got a text from the bestie who was at a day spa complete with photo proof. I reciprocated and sent a photo of my current location: in front of the sign noting the worlds largest malt provider in itty bitty, Fairfield, MT.

Discovered that oddly enough, the Blu-Ray remote will briefly illuminate the battery operated candles when you hit the ‘stop’ button much to our confusion and wonder.

Celebrated Easter in our usual way: plenty of candy, cinnamon rolls, mimosas, and me accidentally eating the Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg I bought for Brian. Made up for it by hiding eggs for him around the house that had little notes of things I love about him.

Finished our last citizen scientist bird count for the season. Easiest volunteer gig in the world: Sit and stare out the window and note the temp and lack of birds.
