Bonus Day

Yesterday we were scheduled to accompany SweetDoll and her class on a field trip.  However, about the time we were to leave, it was snowing huge beautiful flakes.  Even though it was not supposed to get serious, I agreed with her teacher's decision to postpone the trip.  Sure enough it was all melted by the time the kids got home from school, but this is the Panhandle and you just never know!  Next week we'll try again.

I had a blank to do list and a whole day...what's a girl to do?  BONUS DAY!  I did get some work done that desperately needed attention.  I helped the kids clean their rooms...I'm sure that "bonus" will be reflected on my paycheck.  *grin*  Then I picked up the guitar that the kids got for Christmas.  I have always wanted to play and even took lessons in elementary school but I didn't stay with it.  I probably quit just before I reached the part that I really wanted to know.  I realized that yesterday as I was going through the lessons.  The light bulb came on...OH!  That is why you start there!  But now I understand music a little bit more and hopefully it will sink into my brain better and I'll stick with it.  So I practiced until my fingertips could not do it any more.  I'm still feeling it this morning as I type!  But it was fun!  It was good to try something new.

Today I'm back to the usual laundry, but I might pick up the guitar and practice a bit.  I cut my fingernails.  I might as well!  ;)

How about you...tried anything new lately?  What would you do on a Bonus Day?

Jealous of the snow...

I would absolutely snuggle up and read a book, all day.

Or do our taxes. (and by "do our taxes" I mean get it all together, fill out our organizer, and turn it in to our tax lady)
