This is my first real vacation since 2007. I am beyond excited to not really have a plan and do a ton of things I want to do – like design my new apartment, make an inspiration board and I’m thinking of making a headboard too – things I need to do – finish the final draft of my first peer-reviewed journal article, focus SASSY, see my family – and just relax.
For my first day of vacation, I was shamed into going to the gym by my roommate (ha) but at the gym I saw my old gym buddy. After 45 minutes of cardio (and girl talk), we decided to go to the beach. Since it was a million degrees outside, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner, but we called up a few other friends and headed over.
It was so relaxing. We went in the water, we laid out in the sun. Aside from getting hit by some guy’s umbrella (twice!), it was so peaceful.
Then I came home and made a healthy dinner with my roommate (SASSY post on that coming soon) – roasted portobello caprese salad. yum. We tried to put together the couch, we were unsuccessful, but at least it’s here.
After that I was exhausted, so I went to bed.
It was an excellent beginning to what is sure to be an excellent vacation.
peace,
e.
