Yes, it has officially begun for me! I am so excited about all of the things I have planned to do and places I plan to go during the next ten days.  The break began a bit late for me since I had an unplanned meeting at the end of the school day which lasted almost three hours.  Personnel issues are never cut and dry, nor are they easily resolved.  This was one of them.

But the important thing is that I was able to leave the school at a reasonable time, almost close to 4pm, and went to the condo for a nap.  When LC got home from work, we took a walk around the cherry blossoms and were treated to phenomenal winds that were quite comical.  The intensity of the winds were shifting things and people because they were so strong and people were just not able to brace themselves for the tremendous gusts that whipped across the tidal basin.  The cherry blossoms were absolutely beautiful and just one day left to their peak time ends prompts another visit today to see the parade and downtown celebrations that will be taking place.

Last night we stopped at an Indian restaurant for a quick meal before making our way to Cheverly where I ended up falling asleep in the recliner – nothing unusual about that – and awoke this morning to freshly made french toast.  How sweet was that?

Today, LC is officiating at a mock trial competition at George Mason University while I do errands, including grocery shopping for next Sunday’s Easter Dinner with friends and a trip to Williams Sonoma to buy myself a treat…maybe a new cake pan, or something else that is nice and I can use this week.  Sometimes it is important to treat yourself…and that is certainly on my agenda today!

This week completes the bedroom makeover, so pictures will be forthcoming – of the entire process.  It is lovely, if I say so myself!

Well, break is here and I am off to do errands that will usher in this time split between relaxing and work projects.  Spring cleaning, storage purging, and house organizing are all on the agenda…what fun!  I really can’t wait.   Seriously….I can’t….I love doing it!  How bad can that be?
