P52: week 8 around the sun

I had all of this past week off for the New England tradition of February vacation week. It was such a welcomed week to relax and have a simple stay-cation here at home.

Vacation week started off with some more snow (yes, really), which allowed me to have a lazy Sunday. Once the snow stopped I drove to ikea and bought my new couch! I had been working on deciding which one I wanted for months and was finally ready to bite the bullet and make the purchase! I sold my old couch that afternoon, so it was no time like the present to get a new one. I was super excited when the new couch was delivered a few days later - I'm loving it!

I also ate out 3x this week (I usually eat out once a month, maybe!). It was nice to catch up with friends and not have to cook every night. It was my vacation after all!

I ran tons of errands, enjoyed more time at the gym, got the car serviced, finally updated the about me section of the blog, and organized around the apartment. I was very proud of myself for only checking my work email 2x a day (usually I'm on it all day long) and I spent some nice time planning my next big unit.  The week ended with more snow (yep, 3/3 on weekend snow storms) and Purim starting (more on that this week). Really, a great vacation and now I am refreshed and ready to take on the world again!

Highlight of the week: getting my new couch! I love how it looks in my apartment and it feels so much more sophisticated, and I am enjoying curling up on it every night now.

Favorite teaching moment: having the week off...does that make me a horrid person for loving having a week off? (I missed the kids though!)

Random-osity: I rigged up my dvd player to the internet so I can stream netflix and am rewatching all of the West Wing. I forgot how much I loved this show!! Seriously, nothing can touch its amazingness. I got through 14/22 episodes of the first season...
