2 day weekend

I'm jealous of the rest of the world.

They usually get 2 days off for the weekend. I sometimes get 1 day off, sometimes not. But this week is different. I took work off this morning. Friday and Saturday, no work. That means I get a 2 day weekend. I love that.

But I wake up this morning to a list that Margo has forced on me. Apparently I don't do enough around here, and when I do have some down time, I don't like to do honey-dos. I want to veg. I want to surf. Or work on my next musical experiment.

But with 2 whole days off, and the house mid-re-organization, I needed to be helpful/encouraging.

Here is the list I was left to do:

1. Hold mail [which Margo ended up doing for me!] - done
2. Fix grout around shower [kinda messy, but] - done
3. Paint grey in Master Bath [this is some exposed textured sheetrock from a previous repair that we never re-painted] - done
4. Do laundry [easy] - done
5. Take a picture of the back of our house [for our adoption paperwork] - done
6. Finish wiping computer [reformat and get ready to get rid of] - almost done

I did all this before lunch. Then Margo got off work early and we went to lunch. I was SO productive, I actually added some stuff to the to-do list and completed them as well:

7. Ran dish washer
8. Took garbage out
9. Organized Xmas gifts to wrap
10. Shredded all receipts from 2005
11. Destroyed a huge ant mound in the back yard with a water hose

Very productive day.
