Well, it's Sunday night; January 2, 2011 and my R&R is about to come to an end. It's back to work for me tomorrow and I suppose it's time!
During my time off from work, I did lots of different things. I slept in almost every day. I lounged around in my PJ's until noon on several days (without guilt.) I learned to make Ciabatta bread from Cooks Illustrated and discovered their wonderful web site. I knitted, and knitted, and visited my favorite yarn shop. I reunited with my Aunt Dottie and Steve and his family. I discovered my Aunt's book of short stories which made me laugh and cry! I played my flute for myself and for others!! I read yarn magazines, watched the Today show, took in 3 Netflix movies, honored my traditions of PJ's on Christmas Eve and Lobster Boil on New Year's Eve and of course, Bloody Mary's on New Years Day! I hung out with my Sadie and Bear Brown. I fed chickens, collected eggs, fed my alpacas and a Bull named Chaps. I did a little photography and a lot of cooking which I love to do.
I could go on and on but you get the gist. I did whatever I felt like doing and I enjoyed every minute.
Here's what I did not do:
I did not....
Sleep in a hotel
Eat out - anywhere!
Answer many emails
Worry about work
Fly in an airplane
Or...get padded down by someone who claims to be security in an airport!
It was a lovely and relaxing vacation. Can't wait to do it again.
Happy New Year!

New Year's 2011
A couple of FO's. (For the non-knitters, that's "Finished Objects.) The mittens were knitted in November of 2010 and are really fun. They look like Bomber Mittens.
The Shawl was knitted between Christmas and New Year's 2010.
