Assessment

My much-needed vacation is now over. I spent 10 days doing not much at all: I saw two movies, went to two plays, finished two cross stitch pieces and started a third, attended one concert, visited one mall, baked one Barefoot Contessa recipe, and attempted to read a classic novel. I became a fan of the new HBO show True Blood and caught up with the current season of Mad Men. I worked on crossword puzzles and undertook a small landscaping project in my backyard and played the piano and sang and sang and sang because no one was around to hear me. I took a little day-trip down to San Diego, where the weather and company could not have been more perfect. I slept pretty well most nights and drank a few glasses of wine and overall had a good time doing exactly as I pleased.

*Sigh* And now it's over.
