'Restful' Vacation Day

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I was on vacation today, but my alarm went off at the usual time...

Plumbing:

The plumber was here before 9 AM this morning.  He stayed for about 5 minutes.  Apparently I need a new toilet in the downstairs bathroom.  Yay. 

Wrapping:

After that I wrapped a few gifts -- 4 to be exact.

Shopping:

In the late afternoon The Boy (who also took the day off) and I did some Christmas shopping.  I think the immediate family is done now.  I still want to buy one more thing for The Boy but I don't know what that thing is yet. 

Snapfishing:

After shopping I started playing around on Snapfish.com.  I was going to get some family pictures together and have them sent in a little package to my grandparents.  As I was clicking around I discovered that they allow you to create your own digital albums -- think scrapbook but the pictures are printed right on the page -- for only $20 or so.  So I decided to create a digital album instead.  It took quite a while finding pictures, arranging them, writing captions, etc., but it was well worth the time.  I definitely need to make more of these.

Cleaning:

My parents are coming for a visit tomorrow.  I am very excited about this.  I am looking forward to shopping with mom.    However, this also means that the house needs to be cleaned from top to bottom.  On the phone they claim that it is perfectly fine if the house isn't spotless.  Doesn't bother them a bit!  But then they get here and it's a slightly different story.  There is one spec on the bathroom sink and mom is all, "The bathroom sink is dirty!  Where are the cleaning supplies?!"  The Boy and I went out to dinner but then I had to pass on the movie that he and two of our friends wanted to see tonight in order to get the house clean. 

Blogging:

Of course I still had to fit this in  :)

This is really where I would rather spend my vacation days...



What do you typically do on a vacation day?  Anyone else have similar issues when the parents come to visit?
