It's Sunday again, and you know what THAT means!?! It's time for Sunday reruns!!! Thanks so much to Chari over at Happy to Design for hosting this meme, "Sunday Favorites."Other folks in other places are going back to school. Not me. I will never go back as a full time teacher again, though I do plan to do some subbing.
In honor of all things school, today I'm reposting this piece about how lovely it is to feel FREE when summer break begins.

2) Had my nails done.

Manicures and pedicures, I must try one of these soon...after hauling in the winter firewood supply and spinning up a batch of wool of course!Summer vacation, I remember when those words actually meant "vacation".

Sounds like a perfect first day of Summer Vacation:) I could follow the DID List! Have a blessed day whatever you do today! HUGS!

Sounds like the perfect way to kick of you summer vacation!
Vacation to me means paper plates and plstic utensils.
I need a pedicure! Hmmmm...great way to keep summer going on, get my toes painted.
I'm getting a pedi next Tues and my toenails painted, all ready for Blackpool to gasp in unbridled admiration. Well.....y'know.....
Bliss, every bit of it, just pure bliss!
Hmmm...manicure, pedicure--that does sound like a good idea!
Seriously, you didn't exercise on your first day of summer vacation? Really? LOL
