My Day Off

I usually work Monday through Friday.  Occasionally I work a Saturday and get a week day off.  I feel like those are bonus days.  Sometimes I waste these days by cleaning the whole day and then I am always bummed at the end of the day.  It feels like a wasted day.  So today, I was determined to enjoy my day and at the end of the day say, "That was a good day off."  Well it is the end of the day and I was a success.
Today I didn't wake up to my alarm - I woke up to Kyle's alarm.  I am always up before Kyle and therefore wake him up. But if I get the opportunity to not set my alarm, I ask him to set his.  I don't know why.  I wake up to his alarm before he does.  Anyway, it still counts. I love not waking up to my alarm.
Today I got to watch Rachael Ray's daytime show.  I usually only get to watch this when I am home sick.  Today was a repeat but that doesn't matter since I hadn't seen it. 
I had a small list of things I hoped to get to.  I successfully paid the rent, called Comcast since our bill is way to high and I was able to save $15 a month, and arranged for a new wireless mouse to be sent to me as my brand new one is defective.  I straightened up just a bit. 
My favorite parts came later.  I picked up lunch for Kyle and I and surprised him at work at lunch and kidnapped him and took him to the park to eat. 
I also had a spur of the moment idea to get a manicure.  I haven't had a manicure in four years.  I called a zillion places before I found a place that could take me but I got in.  I wasn't sure if I should spend the money on this but I decided to do it and I am so happy I did it. 
Then what?  Oh yeah, I had extra time to make dinner.  Running home after work to make dinner can really drag the fun out of it.  So I wanted to make something a little special.  I decided on lasagna because I haven't made it in years.  And to top it off, I made lasagna roll ups.  I thoroughly enjoyed being able to calmly make dinner without rushing.  Along with my lasagna I made a delicious italian salad and garlic bread.  Mmmmmm! It was scrumptious!  Do look -


And the best part is....I have lots of leftovers. 
AND:  It is 8:00 and dinner is done, eaten, and the dishes are done and often times we are just sitting down to eat at 8:00.  Crazy.
