I know it would be selfish of me to say that I need a day of pampering, a time out of the office with no e-mails or cell phone, just doing whatever I need to do to relax and enjoy the last day before students enter the building for summer school.  So I suppose I will be selfish today.

What to do, what to do…This morning I need to do some errands, the usual life maintenance, and then the day is mine!  I am thinking about getting the jeep detailed and going to the book store, sitting with some coffee and one of the 6 books I have set myself up with for this summer…yes, 6.  The goal is to get away from the TV (now that the NJ Housewives are done!) and have some quiet reading each night.  Some of the books are work-related, leadership and instructional strategies.  Others are just books I have had on my shelves and haven’t touched in a while – the usual.

Rain in the forecast does not bother me much since after going to the gym this morning I plan on doing things inside.  Plus, since its Friday, it is date night with LC.  Since we lead such busy lives, we have carved out every Friday as “date night” where we always plan to go out to dinner and then see a movie or do some other activity – we take turns each week planning the night.  Tonight is my night to plan and we are going to see the movie The Country Teacher, a GLBT film that opens tonight at the E Street Cinema, but I am going to cook dinner for LC at the condo before we go see the movie…a surprise he is not expecting. 

OK, focus people – back to me! Anyway…the day is mine to do with as I please.  Let me make the best of it and get out of the house and to the gym.  Away I go!
