Average Jane Stays Home

If you're visiting from Nerdy Apple Bottom's blog–welcome! You won't find anything quite as groundbreaking here, but I recommend that you browse my recipes. Thanksgiving is coming up and I have some good stuff for you.

As usual, I'm reaching the end of the year with a ton of unused vacation time that I have to burn through or lose. Thus, I have this entire week off from work–except that I can't stop myself from checking my e-mail and answering work-related questions.

Aside from the road trip I've already discussed at length, here's what I've packed into my vacation week so far:

  • An oil change, which also ended up including a new battery, a change of brake fluid and a new air filter.
  • One morning walk so far. I have another one on the calendar tomorrow.
  • Lunch and shopping in Lawrence, Kansas, with my sister and aunt.
  • Two doctors' appointments.
  • Check-ups and vaccinations for Trillian and Velvet.
  • Laundry. Lots of laundry.
  • Two trips to different grocery stores.
  • Finally watched "The Walking Dead," which gave me nightmares, but in a good way.
  • Numerous futile attempts to pare down my Google Reader bounty.
  • A jam with my former guitarist and some of his friends.
  • A couple of restaurant meals with my husband.

Clearly I am not good at this whole "vacation" thing.
