So, I have seriously fallen off the exercise wagon. I don't like this. First of all, I generally like to exercise. But, when it is summer vacation and your husband is not a regular exerciser and you start changing your diet because you are trying to fuse both of you eating styles, things happen and you get sedentary. This has happened before to me. Not the married part, but the getting apathetic and just stopping my usual routine.
My biggest problem is just the same with everything else I do, I do it full on and totally focused or not at all.
So, lets get back on the wagon! I know what happens when I get a few months into being off the wagon. Not a good thing.

Electronic drugs

My husband got a blackberry today. This does not mean good things for me. Also, I want one too.

Wooo olde tymes

Went to the renfaire today. Lots of fun and crazies running around wearing things from way back when. Really gotta love the jousting and men in the mud pit saying raunchy things. I think that I need to be a part of this next summer.

50th birthdays

So my dad turned 50 yesterday so I made him chocolate chip cookies. That was my relax for the day. We also went to see his concert in Millennium park. It was pretty neat because they had a dance troupe in front of the orchestra. The Luna Negra dance company. I would not mind seeing them again.

Day 2 of relaxing

Today's project was banana chocolate chip ice cream. It is truly delicious.

attempt to relax and get things done

So far I have made several think you notes to send out. Now I have to write the notes. I do have to say the cards I made are pretty cute. But I wont post a picture because they are being sent out.

Serenity now!

Summer Break

Ok, so I am a teacher. I get the summers off. But, every other year I have had a part time job at a local garden center to keep me busy and able to survive. This is the first year ever of not working. As I have a full time teaching position and chose the all year option of paychecks I am able to live comfortably and not work. This also allowed me to plan my wedding. (Note: I had been working the part time job until just before the wedding when things got chaotic with the end of the school year and work) So, we had the wedding, things are pretty blissful and then now. It is like I have had some sort of let down because I feel like I have nothing to do. do I really? NO. I have a million thank you notes and could bake and thousands of other things. So why do I feel like there is nothing to do? Easy, I don't have a job. I have conditioned myself to work all the time and to never take a break. I don't know if I ever really learned to relax. So I think this will be my challenge until I start setting up my classroom for the year and get back into my usual chaotic happy place. I will do my absolute best to learn to relax, get things done around the house without pouting, and see how well I can do this without going to the day spa or getting a pedicure (my usual today was crappy and I need a fix.)

Happy relaxing!
