Time Off

My extra days off last week ultimately led to me taking time off from a lot of my routine activities, inlcuding being online. I hardly turned on my computer Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, except to find a recipe or two, walk my mom through the basic navigation of blog-land, and, of course, check my basketball brackets. To be honest, I barely looked at email and I don't think I read hardly any blog posts for three days. I was just busy doing other things and enjoying the nice weather. It was the most productive I've been in months, and I loved it. I hung out with my husband. I played in the dirt. I threw meat (and pineapple!) on the grill. I spent some time with the in-laws. I played a good bit of pinball on the Wii. I cleaned part of my house. I watched more basketball than I have in my entire life. I even learned to understand some of it. It was the first time I've ever taken time off and stayed home to do domestic stuff. All in all in was a perfect balance of things I needed to get done and things I wanted to do.

Now on to five weeks of constant motion, travel, events, and weekend plans.
