Cup of Tea

So in celebration of my great achievements during finals week {A+ in my toughest subject, Geometry!} I allowed myself the weekend off from homework, stress and blogging. Sometimes having no commitments and responsibilities is nice.

I didn't do a whole lot, apart from buying The Hunger Games on my B&N nook - my rule is that I must read the book before watching the movie, because the book is always better. I drank a lot of tea, too. There's something about brewing tea and curling up in my egg chair with a blanket and iPod that just feels so relaxing and reenergizing. It's one of those things you treat yourself to even if you don't really deserve it. Love that feeling.

Today was also a splendid day - and the adjective "splendid" is a very high honor to be bestowed in my world :) The hubby and I went out on a casual little date, nothing too romantic or extravagant - just lunch at a sports bar and bowling. So maybe its not fine dining on a dinner cruise, but sometimes it's more fun to pig out with your sweetheart and watch the football game. He brings out my feisty, competitive side, and if I couldn't beat him on the lanes, I'd have to beat him in the arcade. We came home and instinctively knew what to do... Turn the kettle on and bring out our favorite mugs. There are certain things in life that you like to do on your own, but love to share with your loved ones. <3

Have a SPLENDID week, people!

love,
nat
