downtime...

i took the whole week off of work this week to: A.- use my vacation time (or lose it - NOT an option), B. - get some stuff done around the house. i was able to paint my bathroom, do yardwork, transfer the summer gear to the shed, haul out the winter gear, queue up the snoblower in case it snows this winter, visit the compost pile, wal-mart (our coffee maker died), and the library, plus a slew of other things i can't remember at the moment. i feel like a bit of a slacker cuz i have been staying up extra later and getting up just in time to see the kids off to school, but it'll be short-lived as i get back into action next monday. in some ways i think allie will be fine with that.
