Just enjoying some "me time" on this gorgeous October afternoon...

So, here I sit, just relaxing and having a "me day," while I wait for my sweetie to come home in a bit. I of course did the "must-dos" this morning, such as laundry, grading (which is actually a joy and not a chore because I truly enjoy reading the papers of my students), baked a birthday cake for my sister-in-law, and cleaned the house a bit. Then, I nestled into the couch with my two furry companions and had some time to just RELAX!! It's funny, because my friends have always referred to me as a social butterfly; one who is always flitting around from one place to the next with endless plans. Although I love seeing friends, families, attending fun events (such as the engagement party we are attending tonight...yey Cris and Kat!!), I am also realizing that there is a benefit to just taking some time for me, being selfish, and chillin'! I owe that to myself. We all do. Just sayin'!
