sabbatical

i've spent the month of july on sabbatical. you might laugh at my use of that word, but that is exactly what sabbatical is, a rest from work. i wish it upon everyone, it was a great way to relax, reset and get focused.

not going to lie, tomorrow could be a rough adjustment back to reality. but i'm looking forward to getting into a routine and a new challenge.

here is how i spent some of my time:

-slept in
-hit up the YMCA
-spent quality time with my family, including a quick trip back to MP
-organized my closet (and j-rod's too, because i'm that nice)
-blogged
-treated myself to a mani/pedi
-gardened
-read two excellent books and started on a third
-tried new recipes
- deck party (a mister and margs included)
-shopped (maybe a little too much, i had to buy more hangers today)
-NKOTBSB
-got some sun
-spent some time in one of my favorite cities, LA
-golfed for the first time (and yes i actually golfed, not just rode around in a golf cart with a magazine)
