My father-in-law informed me that today is Law Day. I must have known this on some level, because I took the day off.
I’d been wanting to take a day off for a while now, but things have been busy at the office and I don’t like taking time off when I have too much to do. I managed to whittle down my to do list to a manageable level recently, so I decided to take a day off.
I didn’t have anything special planned for the day. I was hoping to do some gardening, but the weather isn’t great. I’ve already shot the morning by going to the recycling place in Ebensburg to drop off some electronics for recycling. The afternoon doesn’t look much better. But at least I do a better job of taking time off than Brian does–he typically works a half day when he does so (plus he usually doesn’t even have to use time off because he works too many hours in a week). Whereas, I’ve worked less than an hour so far today. We’ll call it a winner.
Brian was at a gun thing most of the weekend, so Jake and I decided to watch a movie on Saturday night. He likes hip-hop and wanted to see Eminem’s 8 Mile. Brian and I caught that movie years ago (at the Westwood Plaza Theatre) when it was originally released. Jake really enjoyed it. I thought it held up well in its 2nd viewing.
My rating: 3/5
Not the political group, but actual tea. Every year the Portage Historical Society (of which my mother is a member) hosts a tea party fundraiser. I don’t go every year, but I try to go when I can. This year, as in a previous year, my friend Carol attended with me. As always, it was great to see Carol (even if it was a little difficult to converse given that we were seated on opposite sides of the table).
Yesterday was spent at my parents’ house with an assortment of relatives. It was a nice afternoon and the weather was decent, too. Of course, it’s calling for snow again tomorrow night–what’s with Tuesdays and snow? The weather better get nice soon, or else!
