Staycation Confessions

I have now been on summer holiday for a week and half now and I will admit, it have been anything but productive. With only one sunny day so far (the rest have been more like winter weather!) and endless time to finish things I have taken relaxing to a whole new level.

Soon I will be on my trip to the beautiful Croatia where my days will be filled with much more exciting things but for now I am enjoying these cozy days inside. So today I am linking up with Kathy to confess my lazy staycation habits so far.

I confess, most days I haven’t been waking up until after 10. As someone who hardly ever sleeps past 8 (including the weekends) I am amazed at how late I have been sleeping in. I have yet to set an alarm though so the sleeping in shall continue.

I confess, my outfits have consisted of sweatpants, gym clothes, then back to sweatpants. When it is rainy like crazy and you have no where to be why wear anything else?

I confess, I binge watched the entire two seasons of Nashville my first two days of vacation. My only regret, now I have no more Nashville to watch until September!

I confess, during my vacation I had planned on getting lots of blog work done and finishing up several draft posts for those times when I have writers block. This has yet to happen.

I confess, I really need to be studying my NASM material to prepare for my exam this Fall, but every time I open my book to read this seems to happen.

I confess, the only time we have left the house before 10 am this past week was to head out and get grocery’s (priorities of course). My grumpy mood about the earl morning adventure in the stormy weather was quickly forgotten when this adorable guy was sitting outside the store by our bikes.

I confess, this post has taken me all day to write because I keep getting distracted and forget that I am writing a post. Better late than never to post right?

I confess, it doesn’t feel like I am about to leave for an awesome trip. I already know when H and I arrive at the airport it is going to sink in we are leaving and some happy dances will occur.

And this would basically be my dream dancing partners, you never know who you will bump into at the airport in Iceland:)

And I am finally hitting publish on this post, 10 hours later but who is counting! Happy Wednesday everyone, I am off to write a to do list, but one that I actually need to do, my suitcases aren’t going to pack themselves!

Question of the Day?
Do you prefer to be lazy on your days off or really productive? What TV shows are you binge watching, I need another obsession?

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I am so bummed that I already watched all the Nashville episodes!

    I’m always super lazy on my days off. The more things I have to do, the better I am at accomplishing things.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      It always seems to work that way, the more I have to do the less I get done. Yet somehow on the days when I am super busy I seem to be so productive!

  • http://voyageofthemeemee.com/ Amanda MeeMee

    The lazier the BETTER on days off!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Agreed!

    …Speaking of binge-watching, I REALLY need to plow through the latest 2 seasons of GOT!!…Have you tried “The Walking Dead” (my cousin LOVES it)???…

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Yes, GOT is a good one to watch!

    ha, poor gal, I know the post-that-takes-forever-to-post post. Yay, Nashville, I love Connie Britton.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Seriously, I have been having a lot of those posts that take forever to post- posts lately!

  • http://bristolinmypocket.blogspot.co.uk/ Sara Rose

    I think it’s important to get all your laziness out in the first week or two, then be super productive the rest of the time! Lol

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I agree!

  • http://hemborgwife.wordpress.com/ Bailie @ The Hemborg Wife

    I wish it was not so but this is my 90% of the time!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      It has been amazing!

    Nashville is so good! I think everyone needs some time like this when they are off work. Especially because traveling can be super fun, but not always relaxing. x

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I agree, I have been soaking up the lazy days since I know when we are traveling things will be much busier.

    ahhh I love Nashville! Since I work from home I very rarely put an outfit on. It’s grab the first tshirt and yoga pants I find. I don’t even do yoga.

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Yoga pants are the most comfortable!

  • http://prettythingandco.com/ Madaline

    Hahah these were awesome. It always seems like I get 10x’s as much stuff done when I’m already busy! Or maybe it’s just that when you finally have five minutes of downtime all the insanely busy days just kind of build up and you crash a bit…

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I agree! The more time I have to do things the less that seems to get done.

  • http://coraltintedperceptions.blogspot.com Natalie Joseph

    OMG I love Nashville!!! I am not judging you at all!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Nashville is amazing!

    That sounds like the best vacation of all!! Man I love sitting around and not doing much :D

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      It has been pretty wonderful :)

  • http://www.thebartlettsabroad.blogspot.com/ Erica @ thebartlettsabroad

    Sounds like a perfect break to me! I like a bit of productivity, but lazing around a few days is also totally needed!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Agreed, a bit of time to be lazy and re-charge and then start checking things off my to-do list.

    Can I just say I love that you put a photo of Fred Armisen from Portlandia in this post! I know it was in reference to Nashville, but I’m a huge Portlandia fan so it caught my eye!

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      Ha I had to use that, since the show is all about where I am from and all!

  • http://www.tothedayslikethis.com/ Sammy @ Days Like This

    Haha I can relate to all of these. Croatia is going to be AMAZING

    • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

      I can’t wait to be in Croatia!
