So yesterday afternoon, when I was getting ready for class, I got the bright idea to check my e-mail.  I’m SO glad I did.  The instructor had sent an e-mail stating that class was canceled and that he would see us Monday.  And he said to enjoy our time off.

That little note did wonders for me.  And I followed the orders of enjoying the time off to the T.  In honor of having the day off, I promptly took a nap.  And it did my body good.

I also made my way to the dirty clothes and got busy turning knobs on the washer and dryer such that we would have empty hampers once again.

But today was where the really big treat hit home.  Normally Thursday is my day to get out there and work on the next assignment.  But since class was canceled yesterday, we didn’t get an assignment this week.

I thought about walking with the girls to Starbucks this morning.  But what I really wanted was a day to play.  A day to relax.  A day to just take a complete timeout.

So the hubs and I slept in a little longer.

As the hubs left for work, I thought about the things I wanted to do.  A manicure was in order so I made my appointment for mid morning.

After my nails were beautified, I joined the hubs for a nice lunch date.  I’m so happy he asked me for a date, it made my day.

After my wonderful date, I ran over to the mall to pick up some make-up.

And this brand new (for me) bottle of (DOT Marc Jacobs) perfume.

It’s the kind of bottle that begs for a little photo shoot.

There is something clean and fresh with the smell that I really like.  And I can’t stop smelling my wrist.  I think I found my new favorite little bottle.

I like how this little bottle spills happiness and cheer.

I still recall the last bottle of perfume I purchased.  It was in Boston some 5 + years ago when I was there with the hubs on a business trip.

This time I asked for the small bottle as I hope to switch perfume between now and the next 5 + years.

Last but not least, cheers to this being the hubs Friday off work week.  I have a feeling this is going to be a great weekend together.

Blessings – Debbie
