Marching through

Hey Hey Hey! I'm back.

Well, March has been quite eventful.

I've performed in nine improv shows so far this month, and I'm having a blast. We have been experimenting with some new games, so that has been fun. It's great to try new things, especially when 125 people are watching you "figure it out." One show was at Improv in the Park at Atlantic Station. The weather had been uncharacteristically warm, and of course a freezing day got thrown into the mix, so we were quite cold. About halfway through the hour-long show, my feet were in so much pain. I was wearing two pairs of socks and two pairs of pants, but apparently it wasn't enough. There were probably almost 40 people in attendance, and they had to have been crazy! I'm cold just thinking about it.

Wedding season is upon us (Isn't it always?!), and I've gone to two showers so far this month. They were on the same weekend, of course, but it was great getting to visit with people. One shower was for a college friend (RE), so I got to see a bunch of old [youthful] friends. The other shower was for my soon-to-be sister-in-law, so it gave me a chance to see some of my extended family. Awesome! Can you say Bellini bar and assorted cheeses?

I've just kicked off my CFF fundraising for 2013. My team has surpassed the $2,000 fundraising mark, so we've only got $28,000 to go. Ha! My goal feels somewhat unattainable, but it always works itself out somehow. Drew's Crew raised more than $30,000 in 2011 and 2012, so there's no reason we can't do it again in 2013! Do I sound convincing?

I've been on a really good exercising kick recently. I have been doing a Jillian Michaels DVD about 5-6 times a week for the last three weeks, and it sure hasn't gotten any easier. I look forward to the weather getting nicer so I can run outside while dodging pollen.

Well, Spring is officially under way despite tomorrow's high in the upper 40s. I can't wait to enjoy the warmer weather, watch baseball games, sit on patios, etc. I'm hoping a warm front comes and plans to stay!
