My Day Off...

Well it's Labor Day weekend and I made it into a 4-day weekend.  I have three PTO (Paid Time Off) days I had to use or lose by September 17th, so I decided to take today off...and I know two Fridays from now I will take off...and another one in between now and then.  I wish I could say I had a thrilling day off...but...I can't.  I started an apartment-wide cleaning last night after I got home from work.  I started with the worst part, cleaning in tub...after an hour and a half, some Soft Scrub Gel Kitchen & Bath cleaner, Soft Scrub bleach, and a scrub brush later it was clean.  Last night I also worked on the bathroom sink and floor, the kitchen floor and laundry room floor.  This morning I tackled sweeping around the baseboards, vacuuming, cleaning the entryway and cleaning out the Jeep.  I'm tired of cleaning! 

After I was finished cleaning I ran up to the flower shop to have Jamasa fill a flower pot I had bought.  It looked pretty nice sitting in my living room after it was finished...

Once I was done here in town with what I needed to do I headed over to work to pick up my paycheck and also tease my co-workers about how great my day off is.  I also made the trip to good ol' Wally World for supplies and the John Deere place to pick up something for dad.  What makes it comical is the fact that I picked up a Case (International Harvester) brand up from a John Deere dealer...nothing like only going there to buy a competitor's product!

After I made it back home I had to make a quick laptop repair pick-up run.

Now...I'm just sitting on the patio enjoying the cool breeze...and the longer I sit here it's starting to be a chilly breeze.  But, I did snap some pictures while I was sitting out here...

(My view from the patio looking over towards the old high school.  It's my point of reference in town.  I ask people if they know where the old high school is, and usually their reply is "Oh sure I do!")

(My New Guinea Impatiens.  They are really doing awesome right now.  In the last few weeks they have really grown.)

(This is my new "can't live without"... it's my BlackBerry Curve 8530.  Not sure what I did before it!)

I took these on my camera Mom and Dad got me for my birthday.  It's a Canon PowerShot SX120 IS.  Canon...the only brand I'll have!  I'm happy that I've started to learn more about it.  The settings are a lot different to access than my Rebel XTi.  ... Sitting here I think my Jeep's possessed.  I'm pretty sure I've heard it honk once AND the lights just flashed on it... BUT... the keys are laying on the table in the apartment!  GREAT!

Well, think it's just about time to get out and about for the night!  Have a happy AND safe Labor Day weekend!
