Glenn and I did NOT take a fall vacation this year - and since we're nearing the end of the year, I happened to look at my little vacation chart to see how many days I've used this year and lo and behold, I still had 7 vacation days!!! SEVEN DAYS!!!! WOW - I was one excited girl!!
But alas, we're not going anywhere...........So I just decided to take a day a week until Christmas and then I'll probably just carry over the extra days!
What am I doing on these days off? I'm doing "ME" things!!
Yesterday was the first one - and I decided that in order to really enjoy the rest of my days off, I needed to get completely caught up on the shopping and the list of errands I had to do! But I STILL had a great day - I got up as usual but instead of heading to work, I backtracked to Florissant to get some yummy coffee at Costello's - then it was off to W. Pk to get Christmas letters ran off, Christmas pics picked up, a Walmart run and newspapers to the recycle center.
And then it was to Colorado Springs to finish up the Christmas shopping - ALL of this was done by 12:00 and by then, I was sitting in the movie theater watching "The Next Three Days" with Russell Crowe - a great movie which I WILL watch again when it comes out on DVD!
What am I doing with my other days off? HMMMM - I know one day will be scrapbooking, one day will be a FULL day of reading (hopefully an entire book) and the others are yet to be decided!! Got any ideas for me????

I'm so jealous!! Movie day? Sleep in, laze about, paint your nails day?
That sounds SO nice! How about trading days with ME!!? LOL
I think scrapbooking sounds great, baking, call a friend you haven't talked to in awhile, catch a Christmas play somewhere, surprise a friend with lunch, sit and enjoy the quiet (oh wait, that's not an issue for you!!!)......
Sounds like so much fun! Oh to have a day to myself! Enjoy them all. I would sit around and read and watch movies all day and maybe some crafting.
