Top 10

Best things about being off-track

10. Not having to work
9. Daytime Television. I don't do soaps but I like Good Things Utah, Martha, Oprah, and Ellen.
8. Scrapbooking, quilting, and making cards and other little crafty things I don't otherwise have time for.
7. Sleepin in- well a little at least, Ryan gets better at it as the time goes on.
6. Organizing- some things you just don't get around to, so I like to organize a few things while I'm off track. Colin told me once that he likes me being off track for this reason too. I just wonder if he knows that I like it- no- he knows I'm a total neat freak. Which brings us to #5
5. Cleaning- okay so that might sound weird but I love to have a clean house and it's nice to clean when I don't have "anything" else to worry about.
4. Shopping- well I have to watch my budget but I can window shop as much as I like!
3. Meeting up with friends.
2. Going to see Colin at work.
1. Being at home with Ryan.

I am so jealous you are off track. I think I need to go off track at work. Enjoy your time off!

I'm almost there. SUMMER!!! I'm a clean freak too, but I can't let the dirt bother me while I have to work. I just get wiped out (unlike the dirt.) I'm looking forward to cleaning and getting ready for baby. Have fun!!

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
