Spring Break
Spring Break is as good as it can be for me at this point in my life. First, the students are away, so campus is nice and quiet. And then we get the Friday off, so there’s a nice three day weekend to be enjoyed.
When I look back on this past week, it’s be completely random and long and crazy and slow.
First, the weather was up and down like mad. We had a huge blizzard on the front range, and I had exceptionally poor timing. I got stuck in it and it took me three hours to get home. I’m truly surprised that I didn’t get physically stuck like so many of the cars and buses that I passed in my little blue Civic. I love my tires.
When Friday arrived, I felt like I had lived two weeks in one. So this weekend has been all about relaxing. I’ve done some baking and a lot of reading. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for this blog post, this weekend would be forgotten away, that’s how low impact it has been.
I did snap some pictures though…
First, I couldn’t resist capturing one of the meals we had. Pigs in a blanket. I had never had that before, and I was promised that they’re very good. They were indeed.
And then the cats. Persephone was incredibly needy. I say that past tense, which is a mistake. Even at this very moment, I’m pleading with her to give me a little bit of space. She’s wanted to be in contact with me this whole weekend.
And Callie has been resting on her blanket, which is truly her blanket. The other cats don’t want anything to do with it. She spends eighty percent of her time on it. When she’s not there, she’s getting herself into trouble one way or another. I love her kitten-tude.
And Penny. The scavenger. I locked the cats out last night because I needed a break from them. Because both doors were closed, they were really unhappy they couldn’t sleep with somebody. Especially Penny. She woke me up this morning and compelled me to open the door. She was so happy to get into my room. She’s so sensitive.
So the furry ones have made their mark on the weekend.
Then, last night was one of my favorite hours of the year….it was Earth Hour! It’s where you turn off your lights for one hour. I love this! Last year was so great, and I got all ready for this year. I decided to once again write during that hour. The words didn’t quite flow like they did last year, but it was a good start.
Next year, I’m thinking about throwing a party. I think it would be great to enjoy the company of friends (well, more friends than I had last night) to sit around and drink wine and talk by candle light. Is that too silly? It sounds like perfection to me.
