Holiday - Day 1

Today was Day 1 of the vacation. So far, so good.

I thought I’d share a picture of something from the vacation each day, and today’s picture is of my new sandals, bought with the gift card I got from freeandflawed for my Microsoft Paint drawing. I just bought the sandals of Sunday and love them already.

There’s a reason why it makes sense to post a picture of sandals. It’s because I don’t plan on wearing shoes or socks this entire vacation. You may not know this about me, but I hate shoes and socks. I think I’d take a pay cut from my job if they’d just let me wear sandals or bare feet to work.

We didn’t do too much today. I got to sleep in to 7:00 (a whole 1/2 hour). We went to the pool and had a lot of fun swimming and eating nachos and cheese. My daughter really enjoyed the kid’s pool and didn’t want to come home. If it wasn’t for the ominous black clouds, I wouldn’t have wanted to go home either.

When we got home, my daughter took a nap. Guess what? I took a nap too. Can you believe that? I can’t. Of course when I woke up I felt worse than before I fell asleep. That’s the way it is, I guess.

I haven’t done any fiction writing yet. Tomorrow night is the night. I promise :) I did write a post at BeAGoodDad.com about a potty training book. You can check that out tomorrow (Tuesday).

I guess that’s all for tonight. Check back tomorrow for another picture from my vacation.

  1. Ah, I want a holiday at home too! The pool sounds lovely. It’s freezing here!

  2. My husband keeps walking barefoot at home all the time, almost all around the year. And no, we don’t live in the tropical climate.

  3. Summer officially starts for me the day I start wearing my “flip-flops”. Sometime in October I’ll give in and wear socks and shoes again…. (except for work — no flip-flops at work!)

  4. Yay for new sandals! Hope you’re enjoying your vacation :)

  5. We plan to do a weekend vacation at home. I have always loved that idea.

    Those sandals look so comfy! I hope you have a great week!

  6. Helen - I forget your weather is always opposite ours. Don’t worry, it will be warm soon!

    SzélsőFa - :)

    Shari - that’s awesome!

    freeandflawed - I’m enjoying it so far :)

    Michelle - they are comfy!

  7. I once had a student who never wore shoes to class. I teach in New England. He was insane.

    On the other hand in summer who wants to wear socks? Ugh.

    Happy vacation. :-)

  8. Can’t wear sandals that go beteeen the toes - I have friendly toes and they don’t like to be separated! I so wish I could wear sandals like that.

    Have a wonderful holiday :-)
