I had a (paid) day off from work today so that the girl who is taking my position can practice handling duties on her own. So, I had to find ways to stay occupied.
I cleaned up some blog odds-and-ends.
I began the preliminary stages of picking out an outfit for tomorrow.
I watched my favorite daytime talk shows.
I walked around in my new pumps and jeans to break them in. Um….make that jeggings. With stirrups. Don’t hate.
I ate.
And ate.

And ate some more.
(Yes, that’s more dessert hummus. I may or may not turn into a garbanzo bean soon.)
I got some other stuff done too, but do you really want to see pictures of me doing the dishes or on the elliptical trainer? Didn’t think so.
If you had the day off, what would you do?
Sounds like a productive day off! I wish I was as productive as you on my days off! 😉
UM perfect day RIGHT THERE.. esp the last part.. thats how i roll
the day off.. i would blog, watch tv,, trashy tv, watch a movie, bake, eat, bake, eat more, nap, walk dog, watch tv again, blog again, eat. bed
I totally gave myself the afternoon off the take the most-needed nap of my life. Shhhhh
Those shoes are awesome!! Where did you get them? I’m looking for a good pair of heels…IDK why, I have nowhere to wear them…but I want a pair really bad for some reason. lol
I got them at Macy’s! (clearance rack ;))
I would bake and bake and bake, and groom ze ‘orse, and run, and read, and watch crap tv and read blogs. It would be BLISS!
Looks like a pretty good day off to me! I’d probably do similar things…and maybe add some shopping to the mix
What’s the outfit for??
I have a few appointments in the city!
I get monday off and I cannnnnnnnt wait. I’ll fit in a workout but I definitly want to spend some time watching tv & hanging out with my fiance!
Sounds like a really great day! On my days off, I love sleeping in just a bit, and then watching some day time TV. I clean just a little bit, and then enjoy reading some blogs and cleaning out emails, etc… Maybe flip through a magazine!
I love The View-those ladies are so fun to watch!
I still have to try that dessert hummus! Looks delicious.
Already made 2 servings of the dessert hummus!You changed my life-again!!
Love love love the View! I have been there twice. I went last week on the valentines day gift idea day if you saw that! You should def go the tickets are free!
I always wish I could have 3 days for every weekend, so when I do get an extra day, I do everything I couldn’t fit in!
Weekdays off are SO much fun! I love pretending that I work from home all the time…I work and then walk the dog, then work and go to the gym…it’s nice to break up the day!
that made me want jeggings with stirrups- they probably stay down so much easier with boots on and such!
I would just make plans with friends and hang out! Sometimes with school I get so intense and lose contact with friends.
I only wish I had paid days off!!! Looks like you got a lot done!!
Dessert Hummus is addicting. Being a garbanzo bean wouldn’t be so bad…they have the coolest name and a secret identity in the chickpea.
I can never find anything to wear! Aka I am a terrible outfit planner. BUT, it’s totally fine, I eat hummus out of bowls too. Try it with raisins!:)
“stirrups” - ah! so that’s what they’re called. I really never knew.
I need garbanzooooos.
ooooo if someone is taking your job does that mean something exciting is in the works to be revealed!?
sort of/not really/not yet? hahaha. will keep you posted, for sure!
blog odds and ends cleaning is soooo time consuming!
ive been in site makeover mode for about 3 mos and am pretty much “Done” but just about the time i think im done, im not. Blogs…always changing and needing attention, arent they!
nice day! Ive had like, EVERY day off for the last few weeks which sounds dreamy but the grass is always greener. Today I cleaned, lifted weights, did Bikram, played Cover Orange for an embarrassingly long time on my iPhone, ran 7 miles, showered, and now I’m reading blogs. Nice but I didn’t do anything big-girl productive…

Sounds like a great day off!
And I really need to try some of that dessert hummus- I’ve been seeing it everywhere.
Aww sounds like you had a great day off. Unfortunately being unemployed means I have those everyday lol ahh I’d rather be employed 😛
Um so I SO want some jeggings..
Tara says
I need to try dessert hummus ASAP!
If I had the day off, I would try to catch up on studying and work. If I didn’t have those obligations, I would go for a long run, bake, and figure out the basic functions of my camera because I still don’t really know how it works even though I’ve had it for 3 years. Maybe I would just get a new one.
I’m on mission organize my life and sort of failing at it right now, so I’d catch up on that! I have the same little dish that your oats(? ) are in. Except mine are filled with candy=)
Rachel @ Healthy Teacher says
The elliptical makes the vein in my head throb. Ick.
I have some jeggings but don’t have the stirrups kind. They make sense logistically since I’m always pulling the jeggings down from riding up 😉
If I had a day off, I would go to yoga and most likely end up at a retail location.
Love the new shoes! I don’t work or school on Fridays, so I sleep in, work out, eat breakfast and take longer to get ready
I catch up on lots of blogs, too!
Lucky you for getting the day off! If I had a free day I would spend some time baking/cooking, catch up on some episodes of tv, and visit our indoor farmer’s market. I wish I had time for all that right now! 😛
i NEEEEED to try that dessert hummus. i am addicted to cookie dough and that’s what the texture looks like!! eee. your day sounds SO nice. i’d do pretty much the same, and def go for a long mid-day sunny run!
I love days off! I usually run errands or take a yoga class or something I can’t usually take due to work.
With a day off, I’d sleep in, workout a bit, eat a lot, but overall just take my time doing what I want. It’s so nice to have an extra day off!
whats that oat stuff in the red bowl!!!
it’s baked oatmeal! same one I made here: http://girlmeetslife.com/2011/02/dooo-ittt/
