The Spring Break To-do List

I may live in Florida but this WON'T be my spring break!

For the first time in several years I will get to enjoy spring break, which started today. While I’ve worked for educational institutions my whole career, 12-month staff don’t always get to take some of the same breaks that the teaching faculty get. Thankfully, at this school I do and I’m looking forward to making use of this valuable time.

Since I work better with a list, I’ve made a list of things I hope to do (or not do) during my week and a day off from work. I do have some work-related things to do over break (I have a big event coming up later this month and have to keep working on the details for that event) but instead of commuting 110 miles round-trip each day I can work in the comfort of my own home, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, while watching reruns of American Chopper. Can’t go wrong there!

But back to that list:

To Do:

• Change web hosting package
• Fix camper drain
• Play Lego Star Wars with the boys
• Pay car registration
• Grill steaks “on the barbie”
• A DIY project — adding locks to collection box for work
• Bake peanut butter cookies
• Blog
• Wash camper curtains
• Put Daytona 500 pictures on Facebook
• Listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn on Spotify
• Design the program for my work event
• Sand rust spots on my camper bumper
• Take the car in for maintenance
• Go camping
• Re-learn to play “To Be With You” by Mr. Big & “Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers on the guitar

Not To Do:

• Wake up before 7
• Eat Great Value Toaster Pastries for breakfast every day
• Shave every day
• Wear dress clothes (except for church)

Maybe not the most ambitious of lists but I think there is a good balance of fun, work, & project completion to satisfy me!

Wish me luck!
