back to the grind

I'm so excited that it's Friday! The work week is finally almost over. It was so hard to go back to work after having so many days off. I definitely enjoyed having two 4-day weekends in a row, but now this will be my first weekend in town for a while. I was out of town the last three weekends for Christmas and New Years. I got to hang out with most of my family which is always fun. Then I got to head out to Colorado to go skiing. I always forget how beautiful the Rockies are. Sometimes I wonder why I don't live out west, but I'm sure I would take it for granted if I lived there. It also made me appreciate where I live too though. The day we flew back it was over 70 degree so I couldn't help but head over to Radnor to hike. It was a little weird going skiing one day in the wind and snow and the next hiking in short sleeves and capris. I definitely enjoyed the holidays, but now I'm really looking forward to having a pretty chill weekend.

Last night I finally finished reading Pride and Prejudice. It was so good! I already knew the whole story line since I had seen the movies, but it still put a smile on my face. I don't know why. It's not like I have a Mr. Darcy pining after me. I do think I would take Pemberley over Nashville any day though. Reading the book always made me think about what it would have been like to live in the 19th century. Some aspects seem so appealing and others seem to be rather annoying at times. I suppose the 21st century is treating me pretty well.
