Yesterday was one of those precious 3-day weekend holidays that are high in demand, but few and far between: Presidents day. I spent my time off from school and work doing several firsts and, of course, a few good and cherished traditions. Basically, the way any holiday should be spent! Unfortunately, this is the last 3 day weekend of the semester. Allow me to outline some of these things for you:
New things:
1. Woke up at 8am on a holiday
2. Bought my first ever item from The Gap (a pair of brown pants with a subtle pin-striping)
3. Spent more than $25 on a pair of jeans (I got me some Lucky Brand Jeans...amazing)
4. Purchased my very first pair of Vans shoes
5. Didn't buy and/or look at any Sketchers (I've purged them from my life)
6. Spent several hours cleaning on a holiday
7. Bought a French cuffed dress shirt
8. Had some Swedish bread (thanks Tara)
9. Went to bed at 11pm on a holiday
Old Traditions:
1. Spent a great deal of the actual holiday in Park City
2. Spent the day with a McGill girl: Kindal this year (now I just need the 4th and I'll have had the complete set)
3. While driving home from Park City, we sang Celine Dion's "Taking Chances" (great song)
4. Went on a long run on Saturday (this time it was 8 miles)
5. Bought my traditional new Sperry shoes (3rd pair)
6. Had a rehearsal for my Easter Program (everyone should come!!!)
7. Caught up on some reading and homework
8. Threw away a bunch of old clothes in preparation to buying new clothes
9. Have a little salute to our presidents past.
All in all, a very successful holiday weekend.
Sounds fun! I'm proud of you for splurging on pants- I still can't do that.
