Today is my day off. Unfortunately, my husband still had to go to work today, but since he doesn’t exactly have an office he needs to go to, we were still able to enjoy the morning together…wake up at nine, have a cup of coffee, helpwatch him pack, and take some time to watch MLK Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech all before he left.
Now it’s just after noon and I have no idea how to spend the rest of my day. Usually, when I’m anticipating a day completely to myself without the husband (which happens maybe twice a year), I start to plan a list of things I’d like to accomplish that day in my head. It’s always unrealistic, like scrub down the entire house, catch up on laundry, make a meal plan, clean out the cabinets/fridge and replinish my shelves, go to the grocery store, get a haircut, paint my nails, hit the gym, drop a box or two of stuff off at Goodwill, catch up on my scrapbooking, groom the dog, finish the book I’m reading, etc.
Apparently I’ve convinced myself that I am Superwoman when no one else is around.
Instead, I will probably go to the grocery store, visit the gym, and call it a night. I don’t want to set the bar too high for my next day off.
How are you spending this lovely MLK Jr. Day? And if you don’t have the day off, tell me what you would have done.
But... Will There Be Cake? 
I’m trying hard to find the motivation to clean the house. I am sitting on the couch looking at the mess, but just can’t seem to get off the couch to actually do something about it. Oh, and I just scheduled a massage for this afternoon. :-)
Agh, so jealous! I’m at work and hubby’s at home. :(
Hi, I’m the envious one stuck at the office today.
What I would have done:
* Caught up on google reader
* kick a$$ workout at the gym
* tanning (I am so pasty, it’s really embarassing)
* laundry since it’s continually piling up
* mop floors (I love to clean, it’s weird)
* nap!
* Watch a movie
Enjoy your day and the gym! I love going during the day when it’s quiet and empty.
I spent my day being sick, so you’ve got the leg up on me already! I constantly have tons of plans for when Sean is working (which is all the time, so you’d think I’d get more done!). And then I end up putting in a DVD and playing Zuma on my computer and then all of a sudden it’s time for bed. Oops. :-)
I had to work. Did I mention I hate my job. Is your company hiring?
*jealous*
Went to three hours of class, then an Oxfam meeting. Now I’m in the library wasting an hour before another three hours of class. Ah, the life of a student.
Woot?
