I took the day off today as a pre-celebration of my birthday, which is next Monday. I was going to do some mild gardening but it is so frickin’ hot out there that I’ve opted to NOT do gardening. :scared:

Denis is out working (he’s nuts for going out in this weather), but he plans on coming home in a few hours to take me to a late lunch. Since I’m doing South Beach Diet, I’m allowed meat of most kinds, and a local restaurant has an all-you-can-eat meat buffet of some sort that we’re going to check out.

Other than that, my day is pretty much free – I’ll be watching tv and eating bon bons if you need me.

Tomorrow I’m taking a floater holiday for Veteran’s Day. I do it every year because my dad is a vet and I think it’s only right that I take a day off to not only honor his service to our country, but to also sleep in and watch daytime tv (Days of Our Lives is getting good!). Aren’t I a good daughter?

On this particular Veteran’s Day I will be sleeping in, getting my haircut, and possibly even seeing a movie with my husband (The Incredibles, most likely). I then will come home and take a nap before Toddler Daughter and Infant Son arrive home from daycare.

Can you tell I’m looking forward to it?
