My husband spends his days off playing computer games for 12 hours straight I had a day off from work yesterday. Which to most people would mean that I could sit back and relax a little bit. And I certainly did. This is what I did yesterday: Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Mixer where I schmoozed with other business owners while eating day-old bagels and smiling a LOT Trip to the bank to figure out why my new savings account and the old checking account aren't talking to each other, which now must result in my bringing in the husband to grant him permission to access my savings account so that the savings and checking account can talk to each other Trip to the Mesa County Superior Court offices of Marriage Licences and Passports to apply for a passport because Mr. Idiot Son of an Asshole Bush is recommending that we all get passports to take a Mexican cruise Trip to the Eternal Pit of Despair Wal-mart to stock the pantry, burn a bunch of $1 off coupons and get even more goodies for the tweety birds Trip back home for a quick lunch, housecleaning and 2 loads of laundry while waiting for the solar water heater repairman More housecleaning, check emails and voice mails, taking orders from Mary Kay customers and getting parcels and bills ready to mail while the solar water heater repairman does his thing Paying the solar water heater repair man, changing back into the cute skirt outfit to deliver a bunch of Mary Kay Trip to the post office to deliver the Mary Kay to a post office employee and mailing parcels at the same time while getting a call that my new glasses are ready at the optician Trip to the dollar store because I am a dollar store freakazoid, where I buy pie crust mix (having a craving for the bourbon apple pie), two hardback books that were on Oprah's reading list, and other sundries Trip to the optician (who is in the same strip mall) to pick up my new glasses, which were in the wrong color frame so I had to wait while the optician popped the lenses into the correct frame and then had to pop out my contacts to try the new glasses, which, like all new prescription lenses, give me the sensation that everything has a cartoon line drawn around it Trip back home, gathered the mail, kissed husband (who has been systematically going through his old computer games and playing each and every one of them) hello and gave him a run down of my day, asked him about his, changed clothes, folded two loads of laundry, cooked dinner, and sat down for a couple of hours. What a great day off! I'll have to do it again sometime.
