Lazy Lazy Vacation

This being my very last Christmas vacation (hopefully I will have an official job this time next year) I decided to make the most of it by being incredibly super duper lazy. I'm only working part time so I have had plenty of time to do very non-productive things with my time. I have discovered some amazing things in my time off though.

1st: Netflix- I know everyone in the world probably has it but I'm a little slow. This "watch instantly" feature that they have is amazing! My new favorite show is "Friday Night Lights". It is seriously one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. It's not all about football if that's what you are thinking, and it's not one of those cheesy high school drama shows. It is seriously so good and you can watch Season 1 & 2 instantly on Netflix so that took up quite a bit of time over the last six weeks. Everyone go watch it!!


2nd: Facebook- Talk about a waste of time. I have been a myspace girl since 2003 so the thought of switching to Facebook just made me tired thinking about it, but when I found out my Aunt Maureenie and Aunt Caroline even had one I figured I had to jump on the bandwagon. This thing is such the time suck though, that I fear I may have to delete my account soon.


3rd: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius- This is a book about a 22 year old guy whose parents both die of unrelated cancer within a month of eachother, and he is then forced to raise his 7 year old little brother. It sounds much more morose than it actually was. The author just has such a funny way of writing about this situation. He writes about the funny things he would do with his brother like sock sliding around the house and chasing eachother with mouthfuls of water threatening to spit it on the other one. It very much reminded me of what must be going on with Taylor and Logan when they are living by themselves. It's a good read.


4th: I've been to the movies more in the last month than the last year. I strongly recommend "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Doubt". Both are movies I would even pay the 10 bucks again for.



I've only got 7 more days of vacation so I pray that it goes very slowly and that next Monday when my alarm goes off at 5:00 am I remember how much time I got to waste these last couple of weeks.
