Vacation week started off with some more snow (yes, really), which allowed me to have a lazy Sunday. Once the snow stopped I drove to ikea and bought my new couch! I had been working on deciding which one I wanted for months and was finally ready to bite the bullet and make the purchase! I sold my old couch that afternoon, so it was no time like the present to get a new one. I was super excited when the new couch was delivered a few days later - I'm loving it!
I also ate out 3x this week (I usually eat out once a month, maybe!). It was nice to catch up with friends and not have to cook every night. It was my vacation after all!
I ran tons of errands, enjoyed more time at the gym, got the car serviced, finally updated the about me section of the blog, and organized around the apartment. I was very proud of myself for only checking my work email 2x a day (usually I'm on it all day long) and I spent some nice time planning my next big unit. The week ended with more snow (yep, 3/3 on weekend snow storms) and Purim starting (more on that this week). Really, a great vacation and now I am refreshed and ready to take on the world again!
Highlight of the week: getting my new couch! I love how it looks in my apartment and it feels so much more sophisticated, and I am enjoying curling up on it every night now.
Favorite teaching moment: having the week off...does that make me a horrid person for loving having a week off? (I missed the kids though!)
Random-osity: I rigged up my dvd player to the internet so I can stream netflix and am rewatching all of the West Wing. I forgot how much I loved this show!! Seriously, nothing can touch its amazingness. I got through 14/22 episodes of the first season...

I love the new couch! Love the streamlined look, and color. Yay! We looked at furniture this weekend too, but nothing seemed to be me. Your week off sounds great! I loved WW back in the day. :). Might join you in reruns!
Your new couch is beautiful!!! It will go with anything in the future you would like to do...great choice!
Your new couch is awesome. Arms on a couch are absolutley necessary. Nice clean lines too, and your place is so tidy!!
Glad you had a great stay-cation. It is totally OK not to miss work while you're away from it. That's what a vacation is all about.
Enjoy Purim.
LOVE LOVE LOVE west wing! We're big fans of streaming series at our place! Love the new couch too!! Sounds like a perfect stay-cation week!
Glad you had a great week off and you made a great choice for your new couch. Your apartment looks very cozy.
Awh, loving your new sofa from IKEA!!! good for you. Your home looks great!!!
I'm linking tomorrow. I have to take turns with my sweet 'two birds'. They are cool and so are you! So I take turns (best diplomatic move I can come up with).
I love hearing about your week.
Great pictures, I love those beautiful interiors.
Love your new couch! I adored west wing, such a classic!
Love the new couch! My kids would also love all your snow. We aren't used to that much snow in our area. Your week off sounds great! I wish that was a mid-west tradition. Do you have a spring break in March too?
yummy looking hamantashen!
Your new couch looks great! So nice to have a week off! And I don't think it is horrible that you enjoyed it. Everyone needs a break sometimes.
so glad you enjoyed your little vacation...sounds like you were uber busy!!
I do love the your couch and it is perfect in your home. Good choice! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your week off in so many ways!
Oh my, The West Wing! One of my favorite TV series. Didn't realize it at the time, but J & Z's names are names of characters from the show! It's just a coincidence, though. We didn't name the kids after the characters. :)
I keep hearing about people from different areas getting this Feb. vacation week and I'm wanting one so bad! Glad you enjoyed yours. Sounds like you got a lot done but had a lot of fun too. Great new couch and wonderful costumes--so creative.
I loved West Wing too. What a great show!
Congrats on the new couch ;)
