Three Day Weekend

I love these days. I feel like I have so much to do, and no drive to do them. This last week I've been so busy, and just needed to sleep. So, that's what I've done. I took a nap after work yesterday, slept for 9 hours last night, and took a little snooze after breakfast. I feel pretty good right now. I think I'll go walk a bit on the treadmill, then maybe enter some notes in Finale, or do some lesson planning. I do need to some shopping and retrieve a pizza pan from school today, but it's only noon, I still have lots of time. Such is the illusion of a break from school.

Lately Fluke has been giving me audiobook files. She's the audiobook queen, I think, but if I had her job I'd be like that, too. I've been listening to The Hunchback of Notre Dame and reveling in the language and story-telling prowess of Victor Hugo. I think this must be why I enjoyed Les Miserables so much. I'll have to read that one again. Ususally I just listen in the car when I drive long distances (usually to Fluke's house, now that I think of it), but I have taken to listening to this one while cooking, exercising, and roaming the internet.

I can only do one thing at a time...so not a multi-tasker! So...when listening to audiobooks, which I also love by the way, I have to do it in my car. That's the only place I can concentrate. I'm impressed you can cook or surf the net while listening to a book. Jealous, that's it, I'm jealous.

I'm with Juli! I can't do too many things while listening to a book. Way to go. I am so excited for the 3 day weekend! In fact I am right with you, I really haven't done much :)

Huh, I will have to try that while I'm online. I have a few audiobooks that I adore (all the Chronicles of Narnia and Twilight series).
Check out my blog and see how our "3/4/5/6/7/8/9 day weekend" happened!
Keep up on the treadmill!
