Accomplishments

What I Did Over Mid-Winter Break:

• Read two books that I did not have time to read.
  
• Visited my parents in Las Vegas.
  
• Ran in 60 degree weather three days.
• Ran in 35 degree weather another day.
  
• Made pasties. The crust just doesn't turn out right without mom, though.
• Played "Diego Blocks" with Lucas.
• Enjoyed my first round of golf in quite some time with Mom in Vegas. I could actually hit the ball!
  
• Lost. The casinos didn't like me this trip. Don't worry, it was a reasonable amount of money.
• Washed the smoke smell out of all my clothes from the trip. While the casinos and Mom and Dad were equally at fault, I still can't believe I smelled that way for 18 years. (Sorry, it had to be said.)
• Observed people waiting at the airport. I don't think my observations will work for the paper I have to write.
  
• Stayed current with my weekly cleaning.
  
• Saw 'Definitely, Maybe' with my mom. Good movie.
  
• Hung out with Robin. That included picking paint colors for the basement and meeting her niece!
  
• Admired my dad's new motorcycle. And his new truck.
  
• Ate at Applebee's three times.
• Stayed at the Mirage for a night.
  

What I Did Not Do Over Mid-Winter Break:

• Shovel snow. :)
• Clean the office.
• Grade papers... yet.
  
• Paint the basement.
• Go in to my classroom to clean up.
  

(I am happy with my use of time. It's bugging me that I put periods at the end of so many sentence fragments, though.)
