Spring Break

I slept until 12:15 today. I can't remember the last time I did that. I also exercised-can't recall the last time I did that, either. :P This week is going to be full of firsts-in-awhile: I also haven't had a week to myself in a long, LONG time...maybe not ever.

The sky is so spring-ish today. Huge, fluffy clouds of varying shades of grayness are racing across a clear blue sky, now full and dark, now clear and bright. We never get weather like this in Virginia-it makes me homesick for Ohio. We also don't get the beautiful flowering trees that Virginia has, so I shouldn't complain too much. Spring comes earlier here, and seems to stay a bit longer. I LOVE springtime.

I have a list a mile long to accomplish this week. (Of course.) However, it isn't even mostly a work list, which is unusual. It's only partly a work list-actually, almost more of an errands list, with things like "take vacuum to repair shop" and "wash car" on it. My other things to do include stuff like "study Spanish", "get a pedicure", "cook meals at home instead of eating out", "go see the cherry blossoms", "catch up my Bible studying", etc, etc. (Note: the list did NOT include sleeping past noon!) I set up a daily schedule for myself that we'll just see if I remotely follow. It's practice for my summer break, I think. It goes something like this:

hour 1: exercise
hour 2: shower, etc
hour 3: read (this includes Bible study)
hour 4: practice something (this includes things like piano, Spanish, French, writing)
*lunch* (in the soup and salad vein of things)
hour 5: work
hour 6: go (this would be the sightseeing category)
hour 7: pamper (mani/pedi, bubble bath, haircut)

-obviously these "hours" are subject to some flexibility-

*dinner* (in the home-cooked meal vein of things)
maybe a movie or reading in the evening, and then early to bed.

Doesn't that sound both fun and productive???

(short hiatus...)

I just bought tickets for Montiicello tomorrow. I feel touristy!
