I thought I would love having time off for winter break once I started teaching, but as it turns out I just feel useless for two weeks. I have to admit that I don't go crazy about Christmas like most people, so I don't get that big rush shopping the days leading up to Christmas. In fact, it actually irritates me that I have to fight huge crowds just go get laundry detergent.
This was my first Christmas with my new husband, and it was actually a great time. Very low key and low stress. It has never been one of my favorite times of year, but I managed to make it through without any tears so that was definitely a plus. Well, not exactly true. Halfway to Tyler I realized I was wearing two different shoes and I had not packed any others. After a quick stop at the shoe store I was the proud owner of yet another pair of sensible shoes and the tears had faded.
So now I have another week and I should be cleaning and packing and organizing, but I just don't want to. I spent the day learning glass fusing and loved every second of it. Could I have found my new calling? There is something quite gratifying about cracking glass. The piece I created today could be used as an example of what not to do, but I will love it anyway.
I am pretty sure there is a Lifetime movie I haven't seen yet on later. My life is glamourous.
