What kinds of things might those be? Let me illustrate:
Friday: My wonderful thing was catching up with my two best friends/roommates from college. No, we didn't do anything fabulous. Just went out for drinks and conversation. But it was wonderful to see them both!
Saturday: Saturday's wonderful things included staying in bed until noon--unfortunately I was awake at 7:45, but I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the lazy time to read, watch a movie on my laptop, and catch up on reading some blogs--simply bliss. Another wonderful part of the day was enjoying a 45 minute swim (my first time in the pool after a LONG hiatus! I forgot how much I adore swimming!), and some evening shopping.
Sunday: Wonderful moments included a cookie exchange party (YUM--nothing says winter break like a midday cookie meal!!!) and a FABULOUS nighttime long run.
Monday: Today was simply wonderful. Featured on the wonderful menu were manis and pedis with the wonderful Miss R and a relaxing evening yoga class.
My toes mostly look dry and icky in this picture, but I promise that they are FAR more wonderful now than they were pre-pedicure! Thank you, wonderful manicurist! |
What wonderful things do you have planned this winter?
Elmo here.
ReplyDeleteMy break has included many ginger cookies, playing with my neighbours' young children (an afternoon of play-doh = bliss), and never waking up before dawn, EVER!
I hope you're enjoying 2 weeks of freedom!
My wonderfulness has been ALONE time. Seriously, I never really realized how much I need some "me time" until I was on my leave last spring (and had lots and lots of it).
ReplyDeleteWe aren't doing anything really exciting over the break either but enjoying each other's company and being able to stay up late during the week to watch movies, sleep in and just be with each other. It is priceless.
Elmo, your break sounds fabulous! yay sleeping in :)
ReplyDeleteSunny, I whole-heartedly agree--that time is priceless!!! I think it should be mandatory that all teachers spend at least half of their break laying around and just plain relaxing.
