Day One of Freedom

I’ve been trying to take a few days off for more than a month now. Not only do I need to use five days of vacation by June 23rd or loose them, but if I don’t get a break from the constant questions, new projects and rush requests I am likely to hurt someone, or at the very least loose all composure and yell.

Finally! Today, my first day off, and I don’t have to go back for a week, I cannot tell you how happy I am to be free. I slept late, although I kept waking up in a bit of a panic as if I were late, and finally rolled out of the house at about 11.00am. I went to grab lunch at Hot Doug's and couldn’t decide on one thing so I got two dogs/sausages. I had the game of the day, cognac-ifused smoked pheasant sausage with citrus sauce moutarde and goat cheese and of course the corn dog, and nothing is complete with out a side of cheese fries. Everything was great and I was only disappointed I couldn’t finish it all.

Then I went to get a few cleaning supplies because my home is a disaster. I’ve been so busy with work lately and so tired that it has gotten really out of control and frankly really embarrassing. Anyway, I went to Target, which I love and found I love it even more now. Target now has a small wine isle!

The Target closest to me has a small food section, not one of the full-on grocery stores so it was a bit of a surprise. Now it isn’t a huge isle but if I’m not by Trader Joe’s for really cheap wine, I would much rather give my money to Target then Jewel. I know, you are thinking I could go to a liquor store or a wine store, but truth is I don’t know enough to really shop for wine there and not feel lost and most of the time I pick by the label anyway.

Now I am gonna kick back and finally watch the 40 Year Old Virgin, and I do believe I may be the last person to see the movie (or at least the last one of my friends). Everyone says it was hilarious, so hopefully you all haven’t built it up too much for me and I will still think it is as funny as you all think. By the way, I think somewhere in there is a joke about being a 40 Year Old Virgin Virgin, or some such joke.
