Time Off

Unlike many other teacher-people, I stuck around this February break. I have heard a few complaints about the lack of sun, warm temperatures , boredom... so this post is to convince myself not to partake in any such negative rambling...

Things I Have Enjoyed This Week Off:

1. I'll start with the obvious; sleeping in.
2. QT with my furry friend
3. QT with my "dog-phews," Clark and Brian
4. Making dinner all on my own for Matthew (I shouldn't count Monday and Tuesday. I heated up left over pizza on Monday and made a chef salad for Tuesday, but I did roll together turkey and ham into neat little spirals- that's something.) He's usually in charge of cooking- I am a mean prep chef though...
5. Reading books on my Kindle I would be too embarrassed to purchase at book stores for their stickers declaring their membership in Oprah's Book Club...
6. The chickadees I caught dancing around under the grill out front.
7. The female cardinals Mokey chirps at from the back windows.
8. The half bald squirrel stealing bread crusts from the garbage cans.
9. Catching up on laundry, using my new dryer sheets
10. Vacuuming with my new device, so much better!
11. Organizing my closet and moving my 1000s of cardigans to them bottom bar
12. Catching up with my favorite "Bravolebrities" (A totally guilty- I mean really guilty pleasure)
13. Not getting freaked out by "resolutioners" at the gym who do not wipe off equipment, they are either done with their resolutions or do not work at schools and maintain their normal schedule
14. My taxes are done and I didn't owe too much to the state
15. The steals I found on Piper Lime (a vegan bag and faux pearl earrings)

so many more I am not mentioning- but it's a start.

What did you like about this past week?
