I am not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but I am on vacation this week. I planned it specifically so I could use some extra time to grade papers that were turned in at the end of last week and still have time for myself.

I have done a much better job this week of making sure to take some time for ourself. Ray and I spent two nights playing cards with the ladies. I always go on Saturdays, but I usually work too late on Mondays to join them. Since I am off this week, I was able to have an extra round of fun. Last night, we were laughing so hard that my abs were sore!

After waiting almost 6 months for my hold on the first season of The Tudors to come in, they arrived on the last day I was at work so I have spent almost a whole day watching that today. I am really hooked!

I did write up two lectures that I have to post later tonight, and I started grading. I do need to start buckling down and getting the rest of that done, though.

So far, though, I am loving my vacation!
