tiny

it's funny, just yesterday i was thinking about how i'd been eating kind of unhealthily all week because we didn't bother grocery shopping, and today one of my coworkers randomly told me that i was looking pretty skinny these days. sounds like my junk food was cancelled out by not sitting in my cubicle all week :)

i've been trying to think of the notable highlights from our week of holiday. it's all kind of a blur actually, but here it goes...
- the feeling i get on sundays when i know i don't have to work the next day.
- the unbelievable weather
- waking up well rested
- baking during the day
- being active
- having a flexible schedule
- our tuesday afternoon walk
- hanging out at the erbs place as we helped andrew install drywall on wednesday evening
- chips and dip
- my volunteer interview at KGH
- having the melles's over for dinner
- pekoe learning how to use the cat door to the basement (he's so funny. he's super fat so he has to squeeze thru, which leaves his tiny legs dangling for several seconds).
- seeing friends on the street mid-day
- folks dropping by to say hello while we worked
- hanging out with b all the time
- getting my tax return in the mail
- buying a new computer with said tax return
- watching the wire

- going to the beer store all by myself (for the first time) with my hair full of paint to surprise brendan by buying him pabst (i felt empowered compared to all those party-going students)
- having the whole house to ourselves and not having to keep music quiet or worry about not using the chopsaw past 8:30
- creating a lovely living space for future upstairs dwellers

- sitting out on our front porch on sunday afternoon in the sun reading
- not having to wear long johns to stay warm
- feeling excited about spring and a new season in our house

it was a good week. i miss it a little bit, but am quite happy to return to work, which is always a good sign or being well rested :)
