Spring Break is GREAT!

I find it amazing that I am an adult and I still get Spring Break. What other job can you have and get a week off in March to do whatever you want to do? Seriously? I have said for a long time that I have the best job on the planet, and this is just one of the perks! hehehe

You want to know what I've done?

I started the break over at Toolman's house. He and his wife have adopted a new puppy named Meg, and I had a great time playing with the pup, as well as their grandson. I am now nicknamed, "Aunt Spring" which made me smile wide on the inside. I didn't want to come across as the weird one that had never been called an aunt. Honestly, this is the second person to call me an aunt, but it still made my heart sing. At the end of the evening the grandson had left and the puppy was asleep in my arms and Toolman and I had a great conversation about life. We're great at solving the world's problems from a little living room in podunk Missouri.

Saturday Austin visited us, and I played with him for about an hour before I headed to IHOP. The weekend before when I was there I had some really cool encounters with God and wondered what was in store for me this weekend, as well as this upcoming week. It was a very deep evening at IHOP and it was clear I was supposed to be there. It was a wonderful way to begin this break. Following IHOP I came home to the parental's house. I was greeted by Roxie and Rudy, the two coolest dogs on the planet. Then I crashed and went to sleep.

Sunday I woke up and was a bum. I played with the puppies, watched KU beat Texas in the Big 12 Tournament, and watched DeJaVu. It's a movie with Denzel Washington. I am blessed, as my parents have a room down in the basement with a TV and DVD player, so I don't have to interrupt their TV viewing to see the movies I have on my "To See" list. As for the movie, it was good, but nothing like "Gone Baby Gone." You have to suspend a lot of reality in DeJaVu, and I wasn't quite as caught up in it. Any other recommendations from my loyal readers? If you have some, please pass them along. I still have 6 days of break left. :-)

Monday I woke up and it was raining. It was great, I slept in really late. I never do that. However, that would explain why it's 1:34am and I'm blogging. :-) I love break! Anyway, my Mom and I went shopping at a mall nearby and had a fun time. I got some good deals and we had some good chat time. It was time well spent.

After we got back I escaped back down to the basement. I was on the phone with Ms. H. in Texas and we had a great time getting caught up. She's on break too, so it was fun to just spend some good time chit chatting on the phone. Then I caught Toolman online and we got caught up as well. I must say, it felt great to spend some more time with people I love. Very cool.

Then I watched two movies. Yes, I know, it's late, I should be asleep, but it's break. :-)

The first movie I watched was "Bee Movie". It was pretty good. I must say I was a bit disappointed, I think I expected more out of it than it delivered. However, with that being said, it was a rental, so I can't complain too much.

The second movie I watched was "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium." I enjoyed it a lot. I have to admit, it was a typical motivational, sappy, believe in yourself, movie, but it was exactly what I enjoy. If you're in the mood to be lifted up, it's one you should see. I plan on adding it to my video library.

So now it's late and I am going to crash. I plan on spending most of the day at IHOP tomorrow. I can't wait to see what's in store for me the rest of the break. It's already going by way too fast.

Have a great day, whatever you may be doing.

Later!
