sleeping, napping, cooking, reading, lounging, not conforming to any major schedule, working on week nights as oppsed to weekends, catching up with friends, day trips, wednesday night trivia, a major cleaning of my apartment, going for a long drive to n. vT. to listen to some good LIVE music, a mid afternoon pale ale, snowshoeing adventures with my pup, taking some pictures, holiday reunions with family and friends, home made pizza pie making party (excuse to sip lots of red wine and talk in an Italian accent), sandy klaus, thursday night darts, limited responsibilities, options, catching up on 3 months of great magazines including Caribbean Travel and Life, National Geographic Explorer, and Adirondack Explorer, new schedules, change, long runs, full days of eating holiday treats, no more Christmas music, new friendships, snowflakes, quiet solitude, out-of-control nights, STOWE, shoulder weight being lifted for a few weeks, a deep tissue massage, leaving the mall after finishing my annually 1-day holiday shopping trip (i totally have to transition into a full blown out internet shopper), giving lucy a bath and watching her run in circles around the pad like a maniac, making a huge breakfast with hotcakes, fresh blueberries, turkey bacon, and souped up bloody mary's with a certain overnight "friend", late night bike rides, making a fire in my parents backyard, NOT logging on to a computer for consecutive days (aaahhhh), taking a week off from coffee, trip to Hoboken for a good pal's surprise 30th, cheese fries from Nathan's off the NYS Thruway on drive home from Hoboken 2 days later!

these are a few of the things I am looking forward to over the short break in between semesters. so maybe not a masterpiece but in my eyes, this has all got me beyond ecstatic to be brerathing air.....

fun while it lasted, but enough F-U-N for now!

Peace and Happy Whatever!
