Summary

This frolic was complicated by illness and a late start. We got a great deal done anyway, but much of it went un-planned and un-recorded. Highlights: Avdi exited his old job, and finished the family’s 2009 income taxes, despite being sick for a week. Stacey put together a traditional American Irish St. Patrick’s Day dinner complete with good friends and lots of Guinness. Avdi partially rehabilitated two laptops. And we prepared for our long-awaited vacation to Oak Island, NC.

3 un-estimated tasks completed.

What Went Well

  • We had good food and a lively table of friends for St. Patrick’s Day (not included in the plan)
  • Avdi’s exited his previous job smoothly despite being sick the whole week
  • Got far more done than we actually tracked
  • Stacey and Lily made fabulous food for the CSA pot luck
  • Figured out the correct cat food portions – no more whiny underfed cats.
  • We were very social – lots of get-togethers.

  • Massive reduction in grocery costs, thanks to new coupon know-how and the discovery of a bargain grocery store (thanks Kimberly!)

  • Lily’s snake finally shed

Not So Well

  • We all got sick

  • Still no trip to the zoo

  • Got frolic board cards posted a week late, which led to reduced task visibility, which led to getting fewer of our planned tasks done.

  • Didn’t track as much of what we did as we did last frolic.
