I make lists.

It's time....to do so many things I haven't done in a while. I wanted to high five everyone in the hall yesterday when the bell rang announcing SPRING FRIGGIN' BREAK! I tried to wish my students "happy spring break!" but instead it came out as "See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya! Get out! Leave my presence!" I think they felt the love.

I intend for my list to include more play than work, and here's what I have so far:

• Sleep.
• Sit on the back porch in my pajamas and drink coffee.
• Watch cooking shows.
• Cook.
• Sleep some more.
• Tan, if I can afford some sessions.
• Shop for swimsuits.
• Hang out with my father-in-law.
• Paint the guest house bath (yes, that is actually fun for me).
• Take pictures.
• Update the blog.
• READ.
• Run, when the wind isn't blowing 50 mph like yesterday.
• Wash my car, when the wind isn't blowing 50 mph like yesterday.
• Stay up past 10:00.
• Sleep.
• Work in the yard.

I know I'll still be grading papers and planning and will even have to go up to the school for a little while, but that doesn't bother me when I know it will peaceful and QUIET.

I plan to post pictures proving that I did many of these things. Not the swimsuit pictures though. :-)
