agraciado | 10-10-10

I feel like I should have done something today with it being 10-10-10...plus I actually had the day off. Instead I stayed home and did chores. They needed to get done. My car needed to be cleaned before the weather took a turn for the worse. There were loads of laundry. And there was just tons of other cleaning and de-cluttering to be done. I always feel so "adult" when I spend the day cleaning. Part of my mindset says, "You have the day off! A weekend no less! Go out and have fun!" Then the practical side kicks in and I know I'll go crazy looking at the messes. Plus in two weeks we're heading out to go hiking and look at the leaves changing. I can't wait. I've been planning this mini-day trip for months.

Today, after all the cleaning was done, I felt like cozy-ing up and reading a book. For weeks I have been trying to get into and it hasn't been happening. It seems like it should be a story I love, but it's not holding my interest. So today I was determined to at least get close to the end--mainly because it's due tomorrow and they wouldn't allow me to renew it. I got comfy on my couch, the sunlight was streaming in--it was perfect reading whether. I just couldn't get into it even though I was dying to know what happened! I've officially given it up and took to wiki to find out how it ends. As I was reading the summary I got really excited because it sounded so great. Maybe I'll like the movie better?
