Thought of the Day #5 -- "Weekends Off"

I took the weekend off from blogging, chalking it up to my taking a break from a job or commitment. 

I was thinking about this over the weekend...
  1. Because I made the commitment to myself that I should have 30 consecutive thoughts for blogging, and
  2. because I was trying to define how strong my conviction for blogging really is.

So what really are "Weekends Off"?

By a Google search you will find this definition:

          Definitions of Weekend off on the Web:

          The legal workweek (a US term, in the UK called 
          the working week) is part of the 7-day week 
          devoted to labor, as opposed to rest. In many 
          countries it is Monday to Friday. What constitutes 
          the workweek is mandated either by law or custom.

Individually we sometimes define our "off" time as time away from work, other times we define it as time to ourselves away from everyone and everything. Some people might consider a weekend off, time when they can spend their energy blogging...

For me, a weekend off is when I can do what I feel like doing, away from any obligations.

This weekend, it meant no blogging for 2 days which sort of coincided with the weekend.. you will notice that I finished Friday's thought on Saturday, but only because I fell asleep too early Friday.

So what do you do on your "Weekends Off"?

Busy Being Pregnant?

Here's me at week 30... (I got an e-mail from babycenter.com to remind me how big I was getting and how much bigger I should expect.. good news is, my weight has stayed pretty much the same since day 1 and that means, baby is growing, but I am not adding any more to my fat storage, yay!).

You know... they say enjoy your pregnancy cuz it only lasts a little while. They also say be sure to be ready for the baby (as if you could be ready for any contingency). so what have I been doing? Beading. Not so much a contingency plan, but it keeps my mind busy when I am not reading blogs. So in it's best form it's a relaxing hobby and it tests not only your creativity, but your patience. I keep thinking, "how can i continue beading after the baby is born". Not all mommies to be (or mommies in general) enjoy beading... my sister decided to bake cookies (take a look at her blog - especially the article "accidental housewifery").

So I have made a bunch of items, just for fun... and a few that I have given as gifts. Here are a couple examples of my latest work.
