Day 3.....

Today was another fantastically lazy day around the house!  After several hours of intermittent napping, TV watching and World of Warcraft playing, Amanda and I finally made the effort to leave the house in order to run to Crate & Barrel to return a set of white melamine mixing/prep bowls Amanda had been mulling over whether or not to keep since she bought them - them, another set of white melamine mixing/prep bowls from Williams-Sonoma and a set of stainless steel mixing/prep bowls from Crate and Barrel.  This return follows a return of a set of Williams-Sonama glass mixing/prep bowls I gave her for Christmas.  She did keep a set of white Crate & Barrel serving bowls I also gave her for Christmas which have become part of what I have been referring to as bowl-a-palooza 2010....

After Crate & Barrel, we grabbed a quick dinner at Potbelly Sandwich Shop - a restaurant we didn't have in Richmond and would be one of those places we would miss if we no longer lived in the area.

Once we got home, we decided it was time to dismantle the Christmas Tree while watching Christmas Vacation.  Our tree this year lost a ton of needles and was hit by dog tales more often then we would care to discus.  Sadly we did have to put together an ornament graveyard for the first time ever.  Upon closer inspection of the tree this evening though, we discovered this.....


One of our favorite ornaments ever had indeed been hit by a tale at some point during the holiday season and went unnoticed until now.  After that setback, we powered through and put away the rest of the ornaments.


At Amanda's suggestion, I pulled out the ol' handy label maker in order to help us organize Christmas for next year.  We still have to take the lights off the tree and put away the Christmas dishes, but those are tasks for tomorrow.  We still have one more day of vacation left and hopefully we can finish all that up, work on the dressers, give the dogs baths, nap, watch movies, play World of Warcraft (Amanda), blog and hit the gym all before it is time for bed so we are refreshed and ready to get back to the grid on Wednesday.  We'll see though.....we'll see.....
