I'm always happy to have a day off!
I had originally planned for this to be a day of cleaning. Since I made some progress over the weekend, I decided that I could just have fun today. That is exactly what I plan on doing.
Jon and I are going to have lunch with a friend. Having lunch with friends is another favorite activity of mine.
In other news, I have decided to train for a half-marathon. I have to do some training for it, so I can't do the Baton Rouge Beach Half-Marathon. Luckily, there is one in New Orleans in February. It is one from the Rock n' Roll Marathon Series. I am so excited! Unfortunately, we are a little late signing up, so we will have to pay more of an entry fee.
Jon is a runner, I am not, so I plan on walking this half-marathon.

TGIF
I have Saturday and Sunday off! I will be so glad to not have to be at work.
I think that I will move on to organizing the bathroom this weekend. It will be nice to have two rooms organized. I will have the bedrooms, the living area, dining area, and closets left.
We get Veteran's Day off, so I will take advantage of the day off by getting something accomplished.
I am going to see my grandparents in a week. We are going to drive up on Friday and just visit. It is so much easier on all of us to do that than try staying over night.
We are meeting with our photographer to talk about the finalization of our wedding album this evening. We will hopefully also get our wedding images on DVD.
We are going to Virginia for Thanksgiving. We just decided to go this a few weeks ago. I was not allowed Tuesday or Saturday off, so we are going to drive to VA on Wedneday after Jon's class. We will spend Thanksgiving (Thursday), then drive back on Friday. Thanks a lot, job!
When Jon gets his Ph.D. and we move, I will be so glad. Then I can focus more on what is important; family and home life. I think I was meant to be a full-time homemaker.
We shall see...

First Yoga Class
I went to my first yoga class this morning. I really enjoyed it and plan to go back.
It is something to do on Tuesday mornings, since I don't feel like working out when I get home on Tuesday nights.
Tuesdays are my night to work, so I don't feel like doing much when I get home.

Facebook-free for 48 hours
Well, I fell off the wagon. I will make good use of the features and settings that are offered. We will see how that works.
Happy Halloween!
We carved pumpkins last night! I carved a witch/moon. Jon carved a ghost. He acidentally cut the wrong thing and ended up having to find another pumpkin. After going to 3 places, he found another pumpkin.
I roasted the seeds from the pumpkin, and they are so good!
Jon read Scary, Scary Halloween by Eve Bunting aloud. Then we watched some of the movie, Teen Wolf.
I am working today. I am wearing my tiger ears and my LSU hoodie. That's my "costume". I'm an LSU Tiger!
Jon and I had lunch at Rotollo's. It was so good!

Tuesday Morning Yoga
The BREC park on Jefferson Hwy. is offereing free yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-10. I have thought about doing this for some time, but have been busy with other things.
Now that I have an established exercise routine and continue to make progress with organizing the apartment, I think I may be ready to give this a try.
I could only go on Tuesdays, because that is my late day at work. I usually like to sleep a little later on Tuesdays, but I think I am going to get myself in the habit of getting up to go.

More On My Sabbatical From Facebook
When I first joined Facebook, I really liked it. I thought it was a great way to network with others. Facebook has evolved greatly, since its beginnings.
Since people have trouble communication through email, phone, etc., I found they were more likely to do so through Facebook. This is not the case anymore.
In my experience, some people are using Facebook for other reasons other than to make it easy to be contacted. They use it to put themselves on display and show the world how they are so important and to observe other people without actively making an effort to communicate.
It bothers me that people do not make their presence known. You know they are checking you out on Facebook, but they are not making any effort to communicate. In conversation (which scarcely occur), they will say, "Oh yeah! I saw that on Facebook." Thus giving themselves away.
I have sent messages to inboxes and even in chat. It is always the same people that do not respond. It is a bit annoying.
Don't get me wrong, I love to hear about my friend's successes and happy times. I love the pictures and videos. It's just how it is "packaged." There are people that do put it out there, but they are also active in the "conversation." It's not just me, me, me! They are actually contributing.
It's just the people that I tend to expect more from that have really disappointed me. When you think a lot of someone, and then they act a certain way, I leaves you wondering. When it is someone you felt you had a close bond with, it can become hurtful.
I have had a very jaded view of things for quite sometime now. I have though about a Facebook-free life for awhile. I need to just step back and realize that not all people are self-centered and egotistical.
