Hazy Lazy Days
A weekend without much ado or tdo = bliss. Sure the laundry's piling up, as are the layers of dust on the dining table. (Hubby's idea to replace it with a pool table is looking very bright now!)
But I dont really care, after-all how often do I get to stay home doing absolutely NOTHING? It was great I tell you! (A Social life is SO over-rated!) At the fag end of a rather hectic Monday, I just have to relive my weekend and thank the cosmic karmic forces that brought this upon me... through this post.
Friday night was good. Went to a friends place for a dinner party. T'was supposed to be a pot-luck but hostess gushed and proclaimed that she wants to cook-for-us! (Be her Guinea pigs ie;) I was all for it! (Err.. did I mention that I brought up the "We should meet up for dinner this Friday" bit!) Like all Friday nights, we wound up around 2 in the am, after a few good games of pool.
Saturday morning, well afternoon, woken up by the phone ringing. "Hi Sheeba, its Mummy, were you asleep?" Looking at the time, I manage, "Nooo, its almost 2pm, I'm err... washing up after lunch!" "Oh! So late..." Sheesh...!!!#$^% Next time I need to script my psuedo-life a little better.
After a hour or so more on the phone, I manage to actually 'wake-up' and now what? Its Springtime in Seattle, so I decide to go out for a walk. The trail takes me to the mall, and no thats not a metaphor, there is actually a trail from my home to the mall! :D
I love the first few months of the year. There are always awesome "deals" to be found. (Thats my rationale behind the shopping bags anyway!)
Back home, a hot bath, a good movie and some comfort food (read home-made chocolate brownies and frozen yogurt) and its time for bed again. Zzzzzzzz
Sunday comes and goes, it was all a haze. (I wonder what was in those brownies!) I decided I need to buy some shades to darken our too-bright living room a bit. Even the gloom of a Seattle winter doesnt help! Hubby doesnt understand why I'd want to block any of that wonderful natural light, people here buy "light-filtering" shades, hence my problem!
But for those rare weekends, all I need is unrestricted access of the couch and block out that pesky light which just destroys my lethargy. Now is that too much to ask?

Exactly my idea of an ideal week end.
Sometimes, just doing nothing is what is needed to recharge but nothing absolutely nothing can prepare you for a monday.
This, I know, now!
