Once a week on the Race we have an off day. This means we have a full day to do whatever we want. Sometimes we take this opportunity to go exploring, or seeing tourist attractions, or adventuring to a nearby city for the day. But other days we just need to sit and be, because rest is important to strength on the Race.
Today the majority of our team headed out to meet up with some of our Bulgarian friends from last month. They had been planning this meet up for a while. Unfortunately one of my teammates had fractured her ankle at the end of Bulgaria and couldn’t make the trek. So I offered to stay back with her at the house.
We knew that everyone would have a BLAST meeting up with our friends… So we decided to make our day off just as incredible… How do you do this…
A TO-DO LIST!!!!
We made it our goal that by the time the girls got back we would have it all accomplished!!!
We started out the day with heading outside with blankets to enjoy the sunshine, tea, and play some cards with our friend Andreea.
After a few rounds of Macawa (a Romanian game) and Monopoly Deal, we headed inside for lunch.
We had, – attempt to make cookies, written on our list so after lunch I made it my goal to get it to work. I even chopped up my chocolate bar to make “chocolate chips”.
While I waited on the cookies baking and I learned how to sing the ABC’s backward (something I sort of knew how to do but couldn’t do it fast).
We watched some Jimmy Fallon lip syncing videos (to help get inspiration) and then watched a movie while painting toe nails, and giving giving me a makeover.
Here are the results of the makeover!
We shared some secrets together and had some dinner.
We made an AWESOME lip-syncing video! (We should be FAMOUS!)
What is this Feeling?? Wicked Lip-Sync from Kristin Korson on Vimeo.
And finished our day with buckets full of laughter over games of hearts and gin!
BEST DAY OFF EVER!!!!!!
(finished to-do list)
As the girls walked in we were checking off our final task from the list. Talk about timing.
So if you find yourself feeling bummed that your missing out or you just need a fun day, make a silly to-do list with a friend and enjoy the joy that it brings you!
