MARCH RECAP

 Again made progress on 5 or 6 goals, and I finished SIX! 

#5  Basement organized, everything on shelves

I actually sort of finished this last month - I was waiting until I had sold/given away every last thing from the basement/house declutter. I still have a few Packer items, they're listed on FB Marketplace. But everything else is organized and on shelves so I'm going to call this one DONE.   

#21 Read a book in one day.

I read Are You There God, It's Me Margaret in one evening. I haven't read this since I was a preteen, but I felt like I remembered every single sentence as I reread it for the millionth time.

#29 Participate in "Middle Grade March" - read at least one middle grade book per week in the month of March

I read:

-Are You There God, It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume, 5 stars

-Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park, 2 stars

-Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman, 3 stars

-Blended by Sharon Draper, 3 stars

-Deenie by Judy Blume, 4 stars

-Izzy, Willy-Nilly by Cynthia Voigt, 5 stars (loved this one!)

#36 Be able to identify every country in the world

I used the quizzes at Seterra.com and memorized all the countries on each continent. There are some small island nations I didn't include but I'm not going to worry about them. THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! I love that now when I hear of a country I know exactly where it is. I'm going to try to review once a week or so on Seterra.com so I can continue to know these.

#69 Go to a movie at the theater

I saw the new Tom and Jerry movie with Allison. I really liked it! I laughed a lot.

#71 Listen to 5 songs each by 5 classical composers

I listened to (at least) 5 songs by:

-Beethoven

-Mozart

-Rachmaninoff

-Tchaikovsky (my favorite!)

-Wagner (not my favorite)


NOT BAD!!!
