Now that's more like it!

There's always this running list of "things to do" in my head. Some are pressing. Most are for "when I have time" or "when I get to it." Today, on one of those must-use vacation days, I chucked the list and really took the day off.

I had a fitful night's sleep last night so when I heard Jim's alarm go off this morning, I turned over and tried to get to sleep. When I heard Carter's alarm go off awhile later, I flipped back over and tried (again) to sleep. I dragged myself out to the livingroom but did not escort Carter to the bus stop. He went with the kids next door as usual. And I hopped onto the couch.

How do you work this remote thingy? Ahh, I figured it out. What? Dirty Dancing is playing at 8 in the morning?! OK, I should probably watch it since I haven't seen it -- in a month or so. Plus, since I just ran into Patrick Swayze's knee doctor two weeks ago, I should pay close attention to his moves. Which I haven't done -- in a month or so.

Before I had a chance to think about throwing some laundry in or hopping on the treadmill, I see that Pretty Woman is on next! Whoa. Now I really haven't seen that in quite awhile so I better park the butt back down on the couch. Awwww, another happy ending!

I'm finally hitting the shower close to 11 a.m. Now that's more like a vacation day! I had a little shopping to do so I ran into town. Got that done and decided I should probably watch a Christmas movie of some sort since that's one of the reasons I wanted time off. So I popped in It's a Wonderful Life -- while doing laundry and after dusting and vacuuming, I should add -- and watched that until Carter came home from school. Wasn't quite done with it, though.

This evening, we had a 2+ hour dress rehearsal for his Sunday School Christmas program, which will be this Sunday. When I got home, I finished watching the movie and was thankful, once again, that I was born (ha).

As I'm putting the DVD away, I hear hubby yell from our office something about fixing the computer today. That's when it dawned on me that I was never on the computer all day. I didn't work or anything close to it. A true vacation day.
