A February in Numbers

Joining Deena today to recap my February in Numbers! These post are always a lot of fun and most times they have me saying EEEEEKKKKK....

Was back to getting my Hello Fresh meals in February.  I received 1 delivery and really enjoyed all three meals.  I think my goal going forward is going to try to get one delivery each month!  Seeing how that goes, until summer vacation.  Then maybe upping it to two a month!  And how did I take 0 pictures of my meals!?!


2 Snow Days! At first I wasn't happy about them because I wanted a five day weekend for the Memorial Day holiday in May, but after seeing the over 12 inches of snow dumped in my town, I welcomed the days off.

And just for fun I thought I'd add this....because TV is kinda my thing!  The 400th episode of Law and Order: SVU aired in February.  The number of episodes of SVU I've seen over the years...400!  I've never missed an episode!  

The 2 snows days off pushed back our 100th Day to Valentine's Day, but we made it...and now there are only 77 days to go!!

5 Fabulous Vacation Days!  The Presidents' Week is always our winter break!  It was a glorious one this time around.  We got lucky with record temps close to 70 that week.  I even sat out in my rocking chair for 3 hours getting some sun and I made...

1 trip to the beach....in February!  It wasn't to lay out or get color but I did see some cute seals and got blown away!!

I saw 2 full length movies, 5 Oscar nominated shorts and 3 highly commended animation short films this month. La La Land and Jackie were both rather different but good.  The animated shorts were excellent, but in my opinion, not many were actually for children!  HA!

$101.51 back from Ebates from all my Christmas spending....whooooooo  If you don't use Ebates, you definitely should!!

2 Dress Downs at school...my most favorite days of the month!!

3 Thursday nights spent at my new favorite restaurant in town.

1 birthday celebrated...Cheers to 37 Years!  3 birthday celebrations!  100's of birthday wishes....HUGE THANKS to everyone!!

2 books completed, 2 more started!  (Thank you snow days) Read my review of Big Little Lies here!

Unfortunately, I did not remain shop free in February.  I shopped and spent.  But I had lots of birthday gift cards and rewards that helped keep my spending low...5 packages received!

Once again, most of my money was spent on food and drink!  At least I'm consistent!  Too much to calculate!  LOL

But I saved some money too!  Still working on my penny challenge. So far I've collected $11.37

A banner week on the blog!!

It's been a super fun week!

Check out what you might have missed!  (Links are the days of the week!) 

There were lots of link ups with my blog buddies on Monday and Tuesday! A Wednesday that saw me as the the star of the show over at The Blended Blog (eeeeekkkkkk!). A Throwback Thursday that got me all sorts of excited for this weekend, and a Friday Faves that had me dancing!!

Have a great weekend and thanks for spending some of your week here with me!

Three Cheers for the Weekend and a Full Week of Blogging!

Woo hoo...this week I was back to blogging!  When I don't blog, I really miss it.  And it makes me smile so big when my blog friends tell me I've been missed.  I posted everyday this week, which is kind of a big deal!  Catch up on what you might have missed...

Monday I linked up for Monday Moments of Gratitude with Shaunacey!  These posts are quickly becoming a fave!

Tuesday was another round of it's ok....because sometimes I really just have to stop and tell myself that!

Wednesday was another edition of Style Perspectives.  Go check out my plaid look  and head over to The Blended Blog to check out Alison's look...plaid was her prompt this week!  And get ready to link up with us this Wednesday...I'm up with my prompt!  It's a leggings and scarf look.  Easy Peasy!

Thursdays I get nostalgic for a little #TBT!  This week I was reminiscing about my first link ups with my blog buddies!

Friday was the five faves from the week!  It was a good one as far as week's go!

Hope you all have a fabulous Spring Weekend!!

Rewind!

On the rare occasion I blog every day during the week, I like to take Saturday to recap, reflect, and offer a bit of a catch-up!  Grab a cup coffee- spike it with a little Rum Chata (if you haven't tried it you're missing out!!  SO Good!!)...it IS saturday after all, and take a peek at what you might've missed this week on the "new" Mishaps and Mayhem of a Solitary Life!!

Monday it was a two-fer on the blog! Linked up with my fellow TBB ladies, Deena and Shaunacey! Shared my March in Numbers...and after reading all the comments realized I may have eaten out too much in much!  HA!

Also posted my Monday Moments of Gratitude!!  Love these posts so much!!  So much better to be grateful!

Tuesday I was telling myself it was all OK!!

Wednesday was another edition of Style Perspectives with the lovely ladies of The Blended Blog!  We were rocking some fabulous Spring Sweaters!!  This was also the day, the blog's new look was revealed!  Woo Hoo!!

On Thursday because the blog kinda felt brand new to me, for #ThrowbackThursday I shared my very first post from September 2012!  Ekkk...seems like a long time ago! So happy I started this adventure in blogging back then!!

Friday was the usual fun, with my five faves from the the week!!  Check them out {here}!

And now here we are at the weekend... ENJOY IT!!
