A Fun Winter Day

     As far as February in Wisconsin goes, today was a beautiful day! Nearly 50 degrees out. Matthew and I started out the day by going to Church. Actually, he went to church but I skipped today to study in a coffee shop next door. I have four nursing school exams in the next two weeks.
     After church Matthew and I grabbed a quick lunch at Subway, and then headed over to Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison. We met up with some friends there and went into the conservatory, which had an orchid show going on. It's around 80 degrees in the conservatory and felt so good! After that we went out to the outdoor area and walked the paths to the Thai temple (which I forgot to take any pictures of). It felt wonderful outside, although we had to watch our step for puddles due to the melting snow! Then we went back inside the building to view an art and craft show. There were lots of booths selling various things.
     Now we're back at home, mostly relaxing. We had some overripe bananas so I made some banana bread. It's currently in the oven and smells great in here!

Five Years?!

Apparently it's been five years since I wrote a blog post here! I had forgotten that I had started to switch my blog to Wordpress. I remember why I started the switch and I hadn't really wanted to do it but felt like I needed to in order to work around a weird issue, but I think it's irrelevant now and I will stick with this one.

I stumbled across my old blog because I was trying to find some old information and saw emails with the blog name! So I came on here and read through some of my old posts, and it was really fun to do. I love the little memories that are nothing special so you forget about them, but reading about them again is fun. So I think I should try to post a little bit more, even if it's just for me to look back on later! However, I think I may need to rename the blog (I'm not actually going to do it because it's still a cool name) since "Cacoethes Scribendi" basically means an insatiable desire to write! Clearly that is not the case since I've gone five years without posting, and I think it had been two years before that!

I have nothing super interesting to write about right now. I'm actually currently sitting at the library, getting ready to study for an exam on Friday.
