Day off detail

Okay, so I took today off as a vacation day. Yay!!!! I have the whole evening ahead, but I thought I'd tell you how I've spent the day so far:

• FLAP patrol - no birds (that is a separate blog post I'm planning)
• THREE-hour nap (somewhat drug induced, as I took a couple of muscle relaxants before I stumbled back to bed - my shoulders were incredibly painful after hauling bucket after bucket of mulch at a tree-planting event on Saturday)
• Briefly logged in to work because I forgot to send someone an e-mail on Friday
  
• Caught up on some blog reading and played far too many games of Spider on my computer (Spider is my number 1 time-waster ... gaaaaaaaaah!)
• Did a bunch of shopping:
• spent over $80 on booze (that will take 2 - 3 months for me to consume):
• 4 bottles of yummy wine (great for company and gifts!)
• 1 case of Growers apple cider (sooooo goooood!!!!)
• 2 6-packs of Guinness (for the health benefits, dontcha know)
• went to pet store, played with kittens up for adoption (because I'm always that cruel to myself), then spent another $80 on food for the two darlings already at home
• miscellaneous items at Canadian Tire, including a CD called "Paris Cafe" (because who doesn't love the fantasy of being in Paris????)
  
• groceries!
• Cleaned out my fridge so I could load it up with groceries again. :)
• Watched an amazing episode of Oprah which featured two incredible people who have cancer. The first, Kris Carr, has a documentary called Crazy Sexy Cancer that will be airing on TLC this Wednesday. Check it out - she is an extraordinary person with an inspiring message for everyone. The other, Professor Randy Pausch, has terminal pancreatic cancer, and yet, in his "last lecture" at Carnegie-Mellon University, chose to lecture on how to live. Wonderfully wise. I then went on to watch all 11 segments of his original lecture, now available on YouTube.
  

Now off to get more stuff done! :)
