Thinking Travel

Usually I’m not this happy that it’s Sunday. Usually I’m wondering where the weekend went and looking forward to the next weekend. It’s not that I don’t enjoy my job. It’s that I’ve got so many projects going on that I can’t focus on each of them as much as I’d like. And that makes me unhappy when Sunday afternoon rolls around.

But today I’m happy. Because I only have to go to work Monday and Tuesday and then I have five whole days off to focus on my projects. Yeah!

Aaron and I have been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving week. We bought all of our groceries for Thursday’s dinner and we started cleaning the house so we can de-flea it and Otto. Aaron used his new leaf blower (yes, we broke down and bought one) and blew the leaf carpet up to the road and is now planting bulbs. I’m so glad Aaron enjoys, or is at least willing, to do yard work.

I’ve been switching out my clothes closet and getting rid of as much as I possibly can. I still have clothes from the year I graduated from college (1995)! What’s up with that? And, of course, I’ve been working on culturallyteaching.com

But I’ve got even bigger plans for my five days off. To keep me accountable, here’s my very manageable  to-do list:

1. Blog. Write posts and get the word out.
2. Bake. Muffins, breakfast bread, pie, and cupcakes.
3. Bathroom. Scrub the bathtub, ’cause oh my does it need it.

There are several other things I need to do around the house, and several other fun projects I’d like to work on (like uploading my Spain photos to Flickr and finishing my Spain blog posts), but the three items above are my top priority.

We’ll see how I do…
