So, you know how whenever you take vacation days it's because you actually have to go somewhere or do something, and you never just take time off to stay home and get things done and relax?? Well, thanks to the gazillion inches of snow we've I haven't been to work since last Thursday. Some people are starting to complain and get stir crazy. I, on the other hand, am loving every minute of doing nothing. Here are the things that I have done in the last week or so:
- Watched several hours worth of House Hunters/My First Place
- Thoroughly cleaned the entire downstairs
- Thoroughly cleaned 2 of the 3 bathrooms
- Washed, dried, folded, and put away about 4 loads of laundry
- Walked Nacho and Jaz several times
- Dinner with neighbors (x3)
- Started several books - finished none
- Made a CD for and wrote a letter to a friend moving to Australia
- Slept in AND taken naps
- Researched and reserved a place for us to all get our nails done the day before Dana's wedding (what a good little bridesmaid I am)
- Today I watched Fame for the first time and quite enjoyed it.
- Watched American Idol with neighbors
- Bothered Jason while he tries to work.
- Snuggled with Nacho (x1million)
- Read blogs/facebook
- Stayed in my pajamas til approximately 3p.m. every day.
- Caught up on NCIS, CSI: NY, and Numbers
- Went grocery shopping once, between snow storms. That place was CrAzY.
- Not exercised at all (10K on March 27 here I come...)
I had actually already taken Friday off this week because Schub and I are going on a leadership retreat with the church staff/elders. So if work got canceled just one more day, that would be fabulous. That means we could leave at 4:00 with everyone else instead of when I get home at 5:30, and that would mean that I would have had an entire free week from work without having to use my vacation days. And that would mean I wouldn't have to pack tonight. Supposedly they have actually closed all roads in the Baltimore are b/c they are so bad - only emergency vehicles are allowed to drive. Not that I hope the Southern Maryland roads are dangerous, but hopefully they are just bad enough to keep the college closed one more day. Then I PROMISE on Monday I'll be ready to go back.
