The 25th Hour ~karenjcardoza.com~

It’s no secret that I love being home. It’s especially great when I’m on vacation and it’s a productive week. I set a goal to finish all of my online course this week and I got everything done by Thursday. I even have had some time to do some rare relaxing!

I’ve been doing the Cinderella thing all day today and my house is spotless. It’s also great when the Olympics are on during my vacation week so I can stay up late and not have to worry about getting up the next day.

So far, this has been an excellent, productive week and I still have a couple of days before I need to go back to school. Woooohoooo!

School’s already been canceled for tomorrow and we’re expecting a good storm… wooooohooooo! Happy Birthday to Me!!

…for a Birthday Snow Day!  Bring it on!!!!!!

I’m 2/3 through a long weekend and so far it’s been a good one! Friday night, I didn’t feel that well so I was tucked in nice and early which is exactly what I needed! Yesterday, I spent the day at Jake’s wrestling tournament, The Cumberland Invitational, and he took 3rd place while the team came in first overall.

I had a decent night’s sleep for the first time in a long time and today Big Al and I headed out to Twin River and ate at the new sports pub, Wicked Good for lunch, watched some football, had a couple of drinks then I headed into the casino for a bit while he had a stogie. I hit for $280, put some back, cashed out and $120 richer than when I walked in the door. All in all, a nice afternoon!

Tonight, it’s laundry, movies, wine and candles then lots of school paperwork tomorrow before heading back to school on Tuesday. Earlier today, I caught up on feeds and came across this gem that made me cry… very touching and close to home:

Lookin like a fool….

It’s funny how things happen. Yesterday when I was out with a friend for lunch, she mentioned that she was going to the movies that afternoon with her nephew. I told her that I hadn’t gone to the show with my husband since Fatal Attraction!  I’ve been to the theater a few times over the years with the kids  when they were little but he and I usually watch DVDs at home on Saturday nights.

Well…. don’t you know that last night, without even knowing about my earlier conversation, he says to me out of the clear blue, “What do you think about going to the movies tomorrow night to see New Moon?”  How’s that for a coincidence?

Just got home and we both enjoyed it. Of course, I’ve read all of the books so I knew what was going to happen but it was great to see it on the big screen. Now I don’t have to wait 6 months to see it on DVD.

It’s a movie weekend for sure as we watched 3 DVDs last night (My Sister’s Keeper, The Ugly Truth and American Violet) and have a stack left to watch tonight and tomorrow night (Patriots are on Monday Night Football.)

So, between the reading that I’m doing and the movies that I’m watching I’ve been a content consuming girl this weekend. Time to head downstairs for the second feature of the night.
