My Special Day! October 24th

I've decided to make today an extra special day. I'm going to make it so, by doing nothing. Well, not exactly nothing.  I'll be doing stuff, but only what I feel like doing. Nothing has to be done by any particular time. I don't have to be concerned about whether or not I will get paid. I don't have to be PC. I don't have to be anything in particular. Let's just call it "My Special Day".
(oh, and today is also my birthday... i love me some birthdays!)
For those who will worry that maybe I have completely lost it, or that I may be having yet another mid-life crisis. STOP! I'm fine. I'm alive and kicking, even at 62. Oh, and as for the day... I intentionally scheduled no appointments. I have no meetings to attend. I also have no errands to run. My perfect day will be spent doing only what I want to do.  Let's see now... what to do with this day...
  1. Thank all my social media friends for all the wonderful Birthday Greetings. I'm gonna take the time to answer every one of them, as they come in... instead of posting one of those lame "Group Thank Yous" at the end of the day. Why not? I mean, it's what I wan to do, and I have the time!
  2. Go to Gold's Gym, for a cardio work-out, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!
  3. Paint the rusty spots on my Jeep.  I have the paint. I have the tape. I have the time. I have the Jeep.
  4. Watch "Ellen" all the way through. I catch the show many times during the week, but because I'm working too, I only catch bits and pieces of it. Today, I will see the whole hour long show.
  5. Watch either Caddy Shack, Tommy Boy or The Hangover (one more time!)
  6. Finish hanging the prints in my office. I have the prints--all ten of 'em. I have the frames--those clear acrylic boxes. Just need to finally do it!
  7. Finish my Social Security Application form. I decided a while back to go ahead and officially "retire" at age 62. And to make it really official, I am applying for my share of the money that I have contributed to the fund over the last 47 years. (according to the calculations, on the Social Security website,  I've contributed approximately $717,000.00. I know I will see only a small portion of this amount, and retiring 3 years earlier than 65, will make my payments even smaller. But who knows if there will be ANY money even left in the fund by the time I reach the age of 65?
  8. Wear my PJ bottoms all day (until I leave the house or go to Wal-Mart).
  9. Play with my brand spanking new Apple iPhone 4s. Love the Siri feature. (my totally awesome birthday present to me... something REAL nice... LOL)
  10. Get some Popcorn, from my favorite Popcorn store. 3 Bears Popcorn They have 150 flavors!
