So, this past week, I took a few days off while my bosses went to a conference in Hawaii. I looked forward to the time off and had planned lots and lots of productive things to accomplish while at home. But here it is, Saturday and I have only three more days before I have to go back to work, and I have accomplished almost nothing of what was on my mental to-do list. The following is a list of things I DID do in an effort to feel okay about what I did not do.
- Painted my nails
- Laundry
- Drove to Georgetown to visit my Dad while he stayed a couple of days
- Showed Maddie a little of Georgetown because of all the time I have spent there, I realized that it was her first time ever there. She said that the cathedral at G-town looked like Hogwarts when we were coming across the Key Bridge.
- Dropped off Mac at school in my pjs (when she had it!)
- Picked her up at school (when she had it)
- Went to the grocery store
- Spent some time at the MVA
- Visited Wally World
- Tweeted to make the Twerrible Towel spin
- Wore the same pajama pants for three days (I know, I know... it's gross)
- Read what seems like every blog on the internet
- Mastered some Mahjong skills
- Straightened out an issue with Delta about Mac's orthodontic claim
- Shaved my legs
- Considered coloring my hair, and even bought the color while at Wally World
- Did the dishes a ZILLION times
- Went to Nicholas' 9th Birthday party and had an excellent time with my family
- Went to church
- Adopted a wonderful new dog from the pound
- Played Bubble Buster on my Android phone
- Did not care in the least what the weather report was
- Made a list on the fridge white board of things I need to do and/or buy for the house
- Ignored the list above
- Made the following items for my family's enjoyment:
- spaghetti sauce with meatballs
- chocolate cake
- Famous Dave's corn muffins
- big ol' pot of chili
- Auntie Anne's pretzels
- banana pudding
- cinnamon raisin bread (which didn't turn out that great)
- fresh baked white bread
- french toast
OH MY GOODNESS! No wonder I did not accomplish anything on my staycation! Look at how busy I was! What the heck?! Well, I feel so much better about the whole thing now! As much as I'd love to continue chronically my amazement at the amazing things I've done this week, I really do have some things I need to do.... right after I check ICanHasCheezburger.com.
Geez, you were busy! Look at all the stuff you normally wouldn't have accomplished without your scheduled staycation! I would say you were EXTREMELY productive!! Yay!! LiZ
