retirement: day 1

Last Thursday was officially my last day working in an office. I had a great job and will miss my coworkers, but I'm excited for the next chapter. You might ask, what does retirement hold? Well, I'll just tell you.

  • Sleeping in until 8:45 (this is a nice treat, because I am generally up for a couple hours in the middle of the night)
  • Baking homemade wheat sandwich bread. Heaven.
  • Going to one of my favorite stores for cheap produce. Cheap blueberries? Count me in.
  • Spending a leisurely hour at the pool with these cute kids to work on not being so pasty.
  • Doing a little online shopping for a couple things we had already decided to buy.
  • Making Matt a tasty dinner since he still goes to work every day.
Other than that, not a whole lot. I mostly took it easy so I didn't get overly tired. I wanted to make sure I had things left to do for the rest of the week, too. I could get used to this 'woman of leisure' (as January calls it) thing. Too bad it's over in about six weeks ...

Three cheers for being a woman of leisure!

PS- You'll have to let me know how you like both the camera and the grain mill.

I am with Lindsey...Yes, I took a day off work on Friday to be a woman of leisure...got a pedicure and everything and had so much energy that I baked all weekend. Amazing what one day of being a WoL can do to a person! :)

P.S. But I wouldn't give up "motherhood" for a million WoL days. :)
