Because I am off work until January 5th, and I didn’t have the benefit of being told the office would be closed for two weeks so as to plan a real vacation, I’m playing the home version. And just like a real vacation, say on a cruise boat far, far away where it is hot and sunny, the home version has theme days. For instance, yesterday was Stay in PJs Most of the Day Day. The day before yesterday was Eat Lots of Mexican Food and Feel Bloaty Day (I mean, how close to a real vacation can you get?) and today is Domestic Goddess Day. Which is really just a fancy way of saying I’ll be scrubbing the toilet here in just a few minutes. I know. Sometimes I, too, get overwhelmed with just how glamorous my life is. Usually right after I clean out the cat box.
So, Christmas came and went and I really did mean to wish you all a very merry, but with my two sisters here, and shuttling between the Boy’s family and mine, there wasn’t really time for much of anything else, except maybe a quickie makeout session in the laundry room before brunch. And I do mean quickie, because as infatuated as I am with the Dork Lord and all, I wasn’t about to choose kissin’ over brown sugar & bacon wrapped sausages (!!). I’m not Superwoman, you know.
Okay, I’ve got pork chops to marinate and sheets to iron, but if you haven’t had enough of me for today, you can check out the piece that ran in the Dallas Morning News yesterday. Fun, fun.
Merry belated, my friends.
Want to come over and clean my place?
Um… you iron sheets? Do people do this?
Really? You iron your sheets? Wow. Just…. wow.
xmas with the Boys family..Wow!
I’m so happy I’m not the only one doing this. I haven’t been out of my jammies all day either. (I’m a day behind you I think.) I refuse to touch the myriad papers that are in my newly created “home office” that require grading before I go back to school on the 6th–I did “Domestic Goddess Day” the first three days of Christmas break. I think today’s theme could be called “Stay in Jammies and Nap Day.” What’ll tomorrow be? …hrm…maybe that’s when I’ll iron my sheets!
Pretty much what Sandy & Sassy said. Why? Ironing bed sheets ranks on my never to do list right after buff floors and right before learn what it means to buff a floor.
Glad you’re having a great holiday and congrats on the article – very cool!
I guess I should be grateful that I’m not on furlough, but I’d much rather be at home watching Season 2 of “Joan of Arcadia” and alphabetizing my CDs.
This just in from the department of redundancy department…
You actually iron your sheets?
Both great theme days! My favorite is “Try All Fun Spa Products in Medicine Cabinet Day”. After the third mud mask my face usually has had enough but then I can start in on the 12 footscrubs I’ve collected during the year.
You sound really happy in your recent posts and it sounds like things are really coming together for you! That’s great!
Pork chops trumps porking any day.
I’m new to your blog…just wanted to say hi and enjoy the rest of your vacation!
bacon wrapped sausage? Um. heaven.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you too! I am also off until January 5th and it feels so good and I’m so happy to be off work. It’s going to KILL me when I have to go back in on Monday. UGH!!
Cleaning the toilet is VERY glamorous. I did that today too
Thanks for the link to the newspaper article! Mmm…make-out session with the boy! I just had one…I do love good kissers!
Fish! Today was day one for me on the 30day shred! HOW AWFUL! It is a ridiculous workout that I am completely in love with! All thanks to YOU! Just wanted to ask — how long did it take you to complete each level? She recommends 10 days per level but I was just wondering how long it took you..
Enjoy the holidays!
Great blog, I just stumbled upon today. What a really neat article, what a cool accomplishment, that is too cool.
I will be checking back, enjoy your goddess day!
