The kids had no lessons this week and I was busy writing on my Egypt story. Which I mostly finished. I read a couple books. And I spent time with friends. Oh and I ate whatever the heck I wanted and didn't exercise, not even one abdominal crunch or roundhouse kick.
Wednesday night I went over to a good friend's to watch movies - just her and I. First up was Adventureland. Then we chatted for a while and had naughty snacks. lol Then we watched (500) Days of Summer. We liked both movies, despite one being R-rated (and a tad out of our normal comfort zone and the other being NOT a love story (even though it looked like one). Came home REALLY late and then read the rest of one of my books.
Bob had to work Thursday and Friday, so I made plans with another good friend. I took the kids and we headed up to spend Jan 31 there and then sleep over. Sleepovers aren't just for kids, you know. Our New Year's Eve was rather low-key, or as low-key as it can be with three women, 4 teenage boys and 5 children in a house. We watched some BBC Robin Hood and some other movies, chatted long into the night. Also graded some papers! Yes, really. And I planned out 10 weeks of my high school Spanish class. Hit the hay really really late.
New Year's Day I had planned to go half-off shopping at the thrift store, but instead we just spent time with our friends. Finished watching the 3rd Robin Hood season, including the finale which was quite something. All we could say was "wow". Arrived home in time for the kids to head to bed and me to put in Julie and Julia.
Tomorrow someone is supposed to come look at our camper. We're trying to sell it to pay some bills. Bob is off tomorrow and maybe we'll take down the tree.
The week between Christmas and New Years is so relaxing. And New Year's Day is my very favorite holiday!
Tomorrow.... some resolutions and the progress on my 101 in 1001 challenge.
Updated the blog layout tonight too. You like?
Oh and A HAPPY PROSPEROUS AND BLESSED NEW YEAR to you!!!
