R & R

February has not been super awesome....

Good thing it is a) the shortest month of the year, and b) almost over.  Come Wednesday I will be happy to welcome March!  Also, come Wednesday, I will have worked 20 days straight without a day off, with no light at the end of the tunnel.  See what I mean?  Don't get me wrong, I like my job and the people I work with (or else this work schedule would NOT be possible).  And, yes,  years of architecture school has prepared me for this lifestyle - but I'm pooped!

So between work, and all of the "life" that happens outside of work, I have realized that a little R & R is so necessary if I am going to keep a smile on my face :)

Rest & Relaxation to me is...

  1. Daydreaming about my next vacation - I have 2, possibly 3 trips to California planned this year, and picture myself spending a lot of time at the beach.  A lot, a lot, a lot.
  2. Going for a run - I am currently training for the Bolder Boulder (a Memorial Day 10k, with a bacon booth!)  Sometimes the runs are an inconvenience...and lately I have had a hard time squeezing them in, but I feel so much better when they are done!
  3. Drinking lots of wine with friends - Let's be honest, a girl's gotta talk it out...and wine never hurts!
  4. A massage and a mani-pedi - This will happen as soon as I go back to working normal hours!  And I don't care how much it costs either.
  5. Watching a movie - Or more like watching endless episodes of Friends because we all know I fall asleep during movies.
  6. ZZZZZzzzZzZZzzzzzzZZzz - Falling asleep during movies.

I hope you all have had a relaxing weekend!
