I’ve been back in school since Monday and felt it was time to revisit my spring break to-do list and see what (if anything) I really accomplished while on vacation. Drum roll please…
–see the Hunger Games tomorrow night for March date night with my husband (woohoo!) check!
-write wills and take them to the lawyer (opposite of woohoo!) didn’t even start
–paint more trim (goal of our bedroom and the living room done before I return to school) sort of check (here’s what we did)
-zoo, Children’s Museum, Monkey Joe’s, library, and the park (multiple times if possible) worst time ever to go to these places…too many people, too many people.
–read, read, read I didn’t read as much as I wanted to (I never do) but I got two books done–more about those tomorrow!
–continue spring cleaning ugh, yes, I cleaned (here’s some of what I did)
–spend a morning (and possibly an afternoon) at school getting caught up ahead check
–make my thrift store rounds at least once oooh, yes, check! (some finds here)
–finally finish the photo wall in the living room (that might have been started last May. . .) I want to add three more picture frames, but I did work on this during break and so I get to mark it off anyway. It’s my list and I do what I want.
–start (and finish!) photo wall in the hallway definitely started…not finished
-daily trips to the gym or long family walks not nearly enough
-be three pounds lighter when I return to school um, I forgot about this one…and I don’t know how much I weighed when break started, but I just weighed myself on Tuesday and I haven’t gained any weight recently so not a fail either. (always looking on the bright side!)
-dig a trench and install drainage on the north side of our house (Chris, not me…) FAIL.
–spend a day thrifting with this girl who’s working on getting healthy and needs some new, fun clothes checkcheckcheck (Becky blogged about our trip here)
–new recipe everyday for a week Yep.
–what we eat project (more on that later) same things as above (see week one) and week two comes tomorrow
Not a total wash, but I can pretty much turn any situation into a positive (or just use denial–I’m good at that one too) so I think my break was good overall. It just makes me more excited for summer, if that is even possible. I can’t wait to see the list I come up for that vacation.
