Vacation Day #1

Soooo...

I work my ass off. I work two jobs. One is part time, the other is full time. All in all, I usually work about 48-60 hours a week.

Ever since I moved down to Georgia, I haven't really had a lot of "off" time. Which sucks, but whatever. I basically missed last summer because I was working so much. I decided that I'm not going to waste this summer, so I scheduled myself some vacation time. Plus, I had finally saved up enough paid time off to actually have a decent period of time off besides a day here and a day there.

The last real vacation I had was spending two weeks in Cancun back in February of 2008, so its been a while.

Right now I've got two weeks off, and I have absolutely nothing planned. Which is actually kind of cool. So I'm going to do a blog entry for each day I have off, and what I did.

I work the night shift, so I didn't wake up until about 3:30pm. I worked all weekend, and it was a bitch...Mostly because I was thinking that I was going to have all this time off to kick it and relax.

I should also mention that's rainy, humid, and hot as fuck down here in Atlanta right now.

I started my day by waking up and taking a nice relaxing shower. Great start. Then I realized that OH NO I'm out of face soap. So I put face soap on my shopping list. Then I got dressed and did my thing.

Next I jumped in my car to make a shopping trip.

#1, I went to Total Wine in Kennesaw. if you're not familiar with this place, its like beer heaven, basically. I picked up about 14 different beers to try over the next few weeks.



In fact, I bought enough that all of it wouldn't fit in my beer fridge. I'll be running reviews of some of that shit over the next few weeks, but I'm digressing at the moment.

#2, Hit up REI (an outdoors store). I'm thinking about going camping next week for the 4th of July and I was thinking I probably needed a few things. However, they didn't have any of the shit I wanted. Meh.

#3 Went to Hobby Lobby and bought some new canvases and more acrylic paint.

#4 Went to Walmart (meh). I picked up some food and a few things like lightbulbs etc etc.

Then I came home and started cleaning the house. Yea, I'm on vacation and cleaning. but I hate having a dirty house and I haven't had a lot of time to clean for the past year. So I got rid of some cobwebs and shit like that.



Then I busted out the ladder and changed the lightbulbs on the ceiling fan that is 14 feet up on the ceiling. You can see how awesome and bright it looks now! I didn't really do it sooner because I'm lazy as fuck, but whatever. It's a pain in the ass to drag the extension ladder in from my garage.

Besides cleaning and changing lightbulbs, I mostly just chilled. A good #1 day to vacation , all in all, and I've already tried three different new beers! A+
