Here’s the breakdown:

Give blood.

• Our 18th Anniversary blood drive is this coming Saturday, April 7th.
• If you’re in the Hampton Roads area, come on out and Give the Gift of Life.

Celebrate Dad’s birthday!

• Al and I likely going to take my dad out to dinner to celebrate his birthday very soon!

Participate in Camp NaNoWriMo, April 2018.

• See my announcement post from March 27th: Getting Personal #111: Camp NaNoWriMo.
• I’m SO PUMPED to do this. Seriously! I haven’t felt this invigorated to write in months. Bring it on!

See Avengers: Infinity War.

• We’re definitely seeing this on either the Thursday night it premieres, or Friday night. We’re so stoked!

Continue working on my Lady Lounge.

• I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Read at least two books.

• I’ve finally broken out of my reading slump. I stopped reading the book I was attempting to finish, set it aside, and moved on to a different one.
• It was an excellent decision – I’ve been powering through 5-6 chapters per night!

Enjoy time with Melissa!

• My best friend is coming home for a visit!
• She’s invited Al and I to drive up to Richmond on a Sunday, to eat lunch with her, her mom, and her stepdad.

Attend the TAPA Spring Luncheon.

• I am part of the Greek Woman of the Year Committee, so I look forward to being part of the award ceremony on Saturday, April 14th.

Attend Olivia’s bridal shower!

• After the TAPA luncheon, I’m headed to my mom’s to celebrate Olivia! She’s getting married in July. She’s one of the first friends I made when we moved to Chesapeake in 1992.

Visit LanternAsia with Al, Casey, and Beth.

• We’re excited to have dinner and visit LanternAsia at the Norfolk Botanical Garden with Casey and Beth very soon!
• Look for an Adventure Time post after we visit!

Attend the P.E.O. Family Gathering.

• This is something new we’re trying as a chapter. It’s not a formal meeting, but a space and place to harbor open discussion and idea sharing.
• I’m hoping for a good turnout and positive discussion about the upcoming year!

Update my TBR.

• It’s that time of year again! Look for my post within the first two weeks of the month.
