Have you ever done a staycation? I used to think the idea of it was pretty silly, but after only 1 night of staycation, I must say...it is great. Originally, I was supposed to head home to South Dakota for Thanksgiving and my brother and his family were supposed to travel as well. Due to weather, our plans had to change and we were going to be "stuck" in Minneapolis. Don't get me wrong...I love Minneapolis...it's awesome. But since I started working at home, my apartment gets a little monotonous. I felt like I had to get out of town, but the weather wouldn't allow it.
Dad to the rescue! My dad got us a hotel suite for the long weekend so we could go swimming, have room service, in room movies and cable tv (a bit of a luxury for us, as neither my brother or I get more than 8 channels). We checked in last night, went swimming, ordered pizza and my niece and nephew were stoked about watching Cartoon Network. After partaking in the breakfast buffet, we swam more then went out to eat for lunch. (Why not!?! We're on staycation!)
I've also been able to get a lot of crocheting done, which has been awesome. I suppose I should mention (since it's kind of the point of this blog), that I have my own business, attagirl by kedrin. I make custom crocheted pieces like hats, gloves and scarves. Check out my website - www.attagirlbykedrin.com. If you feel like shopping today, I'm running a Black Friday special, too - everything is 25% off - just enter the coupon code "BLACKFRIDAY." I'll also be participating in Small Business Saturday tomorrow with 15% off the entire store (coupon code "SMALLBIZ").
I'm getting all caught up on orders and watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" with my nephew now. Staying in a hotel for a few days is really helping my productivity and clearing my head from the boredom I sometimes feel sitting in my apartment. Heck, the staycation even got me to FINALLY start my blog!
