it looks peaceful and restful enough...
the roses from last week's baptism
against the leftover snow... turned ice

but it's not what I feel

maybe it's because of the three cups of coffee
I had today
...after cutting way... back 
for the whole the first part of this month

maybe it's a little of the protestant work ethic 
...somehow making it's way into 
my already guilty cradle Catholic mindset

but however I approach it 
I can't justify
being in my robe until 4:30 this afternoon!?!?

wasting an entire day...
no redding up
no dishes
no laundry
although I did bring up the load 
that was in the dryer
   didn't fold it though!?!?
...to get a clean pair of pants to put on 
after my late day shower?!?
so I can look ... and smell 
half decent for our dinner date this evening

thank goodness for friends
...on top of being lazy all day
I don't even have to cook tonight!

I really don't deserve it...

last night a date with my hubby
today just lounging around all morning
and then having waffles for lunch
and lounging around some more...

not only will I go blind
from looking at this computer for soooo long

I think I may just die...
and go straight to hell
...although I'm hoping 
one day of being a sluggard 
won't qualify me for eternal damnation
...or is that presumptuous of me?!?

maybe if I did the same thing tomorrow...

and even though up until now 
I haven't believed in purgatory...
I think I might feel just a tad bit better
if I had to did some hard time there
...just throw these dying roses in on top of me
I deserve everything I get!!?

I hope you enjoyed a day of being lazy in the middle of January
a little more than I did
teeheehee

Silly old bear! Everyone deserves a "snow day" every once in a while. I enjoyed mine immensely. You beat me - I was only in my robe until noon!

Thoughts for the day said...

Oh I love a lazy day, staying in my robe or lounge outfits, showering at 4Pm instead of 6 am. WE all need down days and it sounds like you do what I do, putz around on the internet reading blogs, writing my own until my eyes are seeing shadows.
The ironing will get done someday.
It is good to have a day to relax.
