What I Did on my Day Off

My first day off didn’t go exactly as I had planned, but it was a good day nonetheless.  I got a bunch of stuff done that I had been meaning to do for weeks.

After chowing down on my pumpkin pancakes for breakfast, I took a trip to the nail salon.  It had been months since I got my nails done, so I felt like this was the perfect way to start off my day.

My Shape magazine accompanied me to the nail salon.  I have a whole stack of magazines to read because I am subscribed to Self, Shape, Glamour, Fitness and Elle. I love reading magazines, but with all my school reading, I have little time to get through them all.

I chose one of the new colors from the Essie fall collection for my nails.  It’s called Lady Like and its a gorgeous pinkish, mauvey color. I have a feeling this will be appearing on my nails regularly this fall.  I seriously can’t stop looking at my hands because I love the color so much.

Once my nails were dry, I headed home to spend some quality time with this guy.

His new favorite activity is coloring.  I bought him a Spongebob coloring book a few weeks ago and all I hear all day is him yelling color Bob.  His vocabulary is increasing my the day and it is so amazing to see this little guy pick up words so quickly.

In the meantime, I also did all my laundry. The laundry basket was actually empty for once. Not a regular occurrence in this house.

While the Munchkin napped, I cleaned all my makeup brushes.  This is an activity that I absolutely loathe.  I know its something that I should do more often than I do, but I have to force myself to wash them every time.

After bath time, Munchkin and I snuggled on the couch and watched the prime time shows on ABC. I really enjoyed the new show Suburgatory, I have a feeling it will be as big a hit as The Middle and Modern Family.

I have big plans for today. I’m looking to get all my errands done today so I can enjoy the real weekend starting tomorrow. I want to hit up Target, TJ Maxx, Trader Joe’s and Michael’s, but first I need to make myself some lunch.  I have some chicken defrosting and I’m planning on making a quick stir fry to fuel my shopping trip.

Have a great Thursday!
