how to enjoy your husband's fall break

Step 1.
Pretend that you have fall break the same week as your husband.
(Do minimal homework this week, just enough to get by so you don't ruin the feeling of freedom).

Step 2.
Buy a mysterious/intriguing fruit at the grocery store called a "pomelo" to try later.
Cut it open and taste it before googling what it is.
Discover it's just a mellower version of a grapefruit.
Delicious!

Step 3.
Help your husband achieve his dreams of flying by planning a surprise date to Sky High Sports.
To infinity, and beyond!
Ask the worst picture-taker to get a picture of you guys doing tricks together.
Dive into the foam pit.
Rest and repeat, over and over for an hour.
Have the BEST time ever!
*Be prepared to be sore for 3-4 days after with possible minor injuries and strong desires to go back every week.

Step 3.
Go to the mall and try on a really cute coat, only to be reminded that you can scratch your knees without bending over, and will therefore never find sleeves long enough.
Enjoy a delicious pretzel dog to help yourself feel a little better.

Step 4.
Make Zuppa Toscana better than Olive Garden does...
(without the gross kale)
and save $30 by doing so.

Step 5.
Go to the Portland vs Jazz game with a big group of optometry guys.
Listen to optometry talk the whole drive there
and then pay $20 to be triple parked in.
Get the cheapest seats and discover they are on the VERY TOP ROW of the nosebleeds.
Hence, the wall behind us.
Cheer for the Jazz and annoy the hipster Blazer fans sitting in front of you.
Have a great time and be SO excited that the Jazz won!!!

Following these steps will ensure a FABULOUS fall break with your husband!
