It's pretty cool. Enjoy your week off. What I did to ensure some fun: 1. Got as much done as possible BEFORE they left. 2. Planned for my work days in the start of the week, which made me work harder and faster. 3. Planned my "off" days - i.e., made plans, put dates/times on the calendar, etc so that people were expecting me and I'd have to stop the work and have some fun. If you go to:

Great post - have put these video lectures onto my must do" list. I get a week to myself in August, when both kids and husband are gone. The trick will be to keep myself from using it all up y staying late at the office...
