I abide by that saying (may have heard it at some graduation speech): "Do something that makes you uncomfortable everyday." No matter where you are, you can always do something new and different. Good tips here. Some great ideas.

My computer is on the fritz and is currently being doctored by the campus virus lab. I popped in some favorite movies, discovered some new ones, finished two books, an assignment or two and did it all from the comfort of my bed. It has been the most relaxing weekend I think I've ever had! I have had an inadvertent staycation this weekend! My computer is on the fritz and is currently being doctored by the campus virus lab.

It's a great way to take the kids to a hotel with a pool to blow off steam and have a little fun during your stay. We swam in the pool , stayed up late, ate a huge continental breakfast and then went home. We felt relaxed and relieved after we wewre done.
