I have been whining about it for a few days now and everyone I have met at work or socially for the last 10 days has heard it.
“I want a winter break”
Not a vacation mind you. Just a break. The kind where I don’t have to bother about work or chores at home. The one where I can lounge around the house in jammies and read all the books I have on my reading list. The one where I can make thumb painted landscapes with my daughter. The one where I can hold a steaming cup of coffee and watch the world go by from my large french windows. The one where I can write to my heart’s content. The one like we had back in school… A real proper winter break.
What would you do if you had a winter break?
If I get a winter break, I would want a break from cooking, watch all the Hollywood romcoms I have missed in my life and of course read the books that I have bought for myself with the intention but never could read them.
That sounds lovely… exactly th kind of thing I would want to do 🙂
I would go to some exotic destination, if I get a break!
Good for you…enjoy!
What sorts? Exotic matlab?
Well, I had one – at Christmas – which did of course involve me cooking like a demon, baking tons of things and then cleaning up. Last night I stayed in bed and watched Game of Thrones. So my idea of a break is staying in bed all day, eating crap and having peace and quiet.I did have 2 out of 3 so that’s not bad.
Cooking like a demon! So cool that you got 2 of 3… you have a short list :p
I would definitely love such a break. Think I would focus on getting caught up on cleaning/organizing inside my house and then work on (re)building a regular exercise routine – which has been glaringly missing from my life with all the craziness of December.
That sounds like a plan Tara…! Go for it… those are two things I neeed to do as well, but they are just not high enough on my priority list 🙁
A winter break sounds lovely. I was just thinking the same thing just before Christmas. I want a week to hibernate.
Hibernate!!! haha… that is a super fab idea… i wish i could afford to hibernate! I hope you are able to get some hibernation this season.. 🙂
Oh no, we’re having that sort of winter break right now. I worked today, but it’s half-hearted work. It’s work knowing that I have days to do it because no one else is at work. So I’ve been spending a lot of time sleeping and reading and generally lounging about. I’ve heard that we’re doing to have a lot of snow days this year, which means we get off from school.
Oh I totally get it about the half hearted work… I have so many things to do and am just not making headway with them! I do hope you enjoy the off days with the twins 🙂
If I had a winter break, I would sleep. First and foremost. After that, I would stay in my pyjamas, drink tea, read, play some games, colour with my daughter, make a fort with her and remind myself daily how very lucky I am. I love the thought of a break. With our winter temps though, I’d like to hold off on taking that break until we hit the -30 or -40 mark!
That Sounds lovely Gil! You’d wait till -30 or -40 for the break! OMG… what temps are you in now?
