Things I was going to do today:
- Fold laundry.
- Empty and re-load the dishwasher.
- Go to the supermarket.
- Cook something to bring for work lunches this week.
- Tidy up my apartment.
- Work on a schedule for the blog.
What I’ve done instead:
- Watch Downton Abbey.
I’m six episodes into the seven-episode first season and I’m pretty sure I have no capacity to stop watching now – not even the Caps game starting at 5:00 will be enough to tear me away from the early 20th century upstairs-downstairs adventures (and misadventures) of the Crawley family and their servants. It’s an extraordinarily addictive, ultra-soapy costume drama… And I am totally hooked!
It’s really a good thing that I have dinner plans with friends tonight, or I’d never even make it out of the house.
Que sera, Sarah 
So, you have an extra day off tomorrow to do your “to-do” list. Good for you for enjoying your extra day :). Y E A H !!
Too cold here to go out other than to supervise Toby meeting his immediate needs, so I’ve knitted my second rolled-brimmed hat & matching scarf, talked on the phone, done some laundry & dishes, and am now cooking dinner. Not a terribly taxing day. Also watched part of the Texas/Ravens game (pretty good actually).
MENU: Baked potato skins with mixture of LF sour cream & cheese and bacon-like bits made out of turkey pepperoni. (Real easy to do — just snibble up slices of P into smallish bits & nuke between double layers of paper towel for about 1 minute until they crackle. They crisp up & crunch & taste awesome.). Also baking some BBQ wings and will have a clementine for goodness :). ENJOY your dinner out!!!
Yep… that was me on Wednesday night!
I have last night’s 2nd season episode on DVR right now and I’m going out of my mind because I don’t have time to watch it right now…arrrg!
At least you watched your marathon during the day. I made the mistake at starting at 8pm and going through 3am because I couldn’t stop watching.
Well, I watched season one during the day. I got home from dinner last night at 11 and decided to watch the beginning of season two, which is three more hours of watching. I didn’t get to bed until 2:00 a.m.
Downton Abbey rocks. I still need a fancy hat.
