Do Duds

Last week I started a four day work week. (Four ten hour days.) It was a killer,but when my four day weekend rolled around, I was thrilled. (I'm alternating Monday and Friday off so every other week I get a four day weekend!)

Friday I ran a bunch of errands in anticipation of the Rock-n-Romp, got a haircut, a new headshot for the CA, and even squeezed in a movie (Away We Go--so good!). Monday I planned to clean house and do a few long neglected projects (i.e. paint Kilz over the mold patch in the bathroom). Our washing machine broke for good on Friday night, and the part Warren needs to fix it won't be here til Thursday, so I ended up spending the bulk of my morning at the laundry-mat.

I haven't been to Do Duds in, oh, eleven years? It was just as I remembered it.


Thanks to the rain storm, I had it pretty much to myself. (A five-year-old Spider-Man joined me a little later.) I really wanted to blow all of my quarters on Mrs. Pac-Man, but I opted to play with my camera and fancy new phone instead.

I actually liked how fast I got a week's worth of laundry done. I didn't like folding in front of an audience though. That was a little weird.

When I got home, Warren asked if I dried the clothes at the laundry mat too. He actually thought I was going to wash them and then bring them home to dry in our functioning dryer. That never crossed my mind. Must be a Mars/Venus thing.

Anyways, he was home early due to the rain, so we decided to skip cleaning and go see a movie. (This time it was Moon--also very good.) The funny thing is that we decided to see a 1:30 movie at 1:30 at a theater across town. Despite the twenty minute drive and Diet Coke purchase at the snack bar, we didn't miss a single minute.

When the movie was over, we ran a few errands and then picked up the kids for a dinner on the town. We ended the evening with a bike ride through Overton Park.

Not a bad way to spend a Monday.
