What I Did Over Winter Break


Here is what I managed to "accomplish" over the Winter Break...

-Get the soundtrack to "Mary Poppins" looped in my brain (a good thing!) after watching "Saving Mr. Banks".
-Celebrated Christmas at two different locations.
-Was laid out for about 2.5 days with a terrible stomach flu.
-Ate at Texas Roadhouse, Village Inn (many times), Pizza Hut, and Cherry Berry all practically free due to gift cards.
-Finished seasons 5-6 of "Mad Men" (all caught up now!)
-Went bowling.
-Sent up a dart board that had been in storage for four years.  I am still champion at Cricket.
-Ate too much and didn't have an "official" workout.
-Drank SodaStream in some cases like it was water.
-Played Risk on New Years Eve.
-Read a few books.
-Watched all three "Mighty Ducks" movies in the span of three days ("I will not quck at the principal...").
-Experienced the new cushy, reclining seats at the Coon Rapids Showplace theater.
-Saw two great dramas ("Hobbit 2", "American Hustle"), one funny comedy ("Anchorman 2"), and one that unfortunately couldn't do either ("Grudge Match").
-Became obsessed with Tom Jones' "Deliliah" for awhile after seeing "American Hustle".
-Watch Colin Kaepernick boot the Packers out of the playoffs AGAIN!
-Stayed up until 1:00-2:00 p.m., slept until 11:00-noon.
-Beat Super Mario Bros. and Punch-Out! on the original Nintendo.
-Had my vacation extended by one day due to Governor Dayton shutting down all MN schools on Monday because of extreme cold (-60 wind chills in some locations).
-Had my vacation extended by a second day (see above; only Tuesday).
-Spent some nice time with family.

What did YOU do over your break?!
