Sleeping Beauty Ok, this NEVER happens to me. I didn't have to work today so I didn't set the alarm clock. I slept until 10am. I am almost always up by 6:30 for the family launching and I slept right thru it Obviously, I needed it Now, what else can I do today that is totally indulgent? Any suggestions?
Later
Totally indulgent day, Part 2
This may not float anyone elses boat, but this is MY day. I had been invited to a trunk showing of Irish yarns at the local knitting shop today. I like knitting shops, they are always cozy. I enjoy the riot of color, textures and all that creative energy.
Marilyn, the woman who is in town with her yarns, sits me down and starts spinning a tale of 150 years of Irish tradition. She has thick, handknitted sweaters to show; Sweaters that are so well made that they could pass from generation to generation. Handling the sweaters, I get a vision of the rolling Irish landscape, hills dotted with fluffy white sheep.
I find some perfect yarn to knit Jarod his crunchy granola socks that I promised. Silver and charcoal.
I like self-indulgent day. I'm off to treat myself a little more
