How we start the day.
The photo is a bit blurry, sorry for that. But then, I’m a bit blurry before coffee. I’m not sure what it is, since I drink decaf, but there is something about the tradition of sharing coffee with IZ that officially starts my day. Even if it is noon.
This is Friday and as usual, my fantasy life is running amok. Oh the glories I will accomplish. Tell me I’m not alone in my idealism on Friday. Surely I’m not the only one suffering delusions of grandeur on this almost, but not quite, Spring day. I’m trying desperately not to write mental “to-do” lists and just be in the moment. Who said the weekend has to be productive? Tradition, that’s who.
Tradition is loquacious like that.
So, this is the start of my weekend and I’m already on a tare, trying to do too much. I have spaces that need cleaning, boxes that need mailing, a whole pile of envelopes I’m ignoring. Spin, spin, spin! I’m a Whirlpool on agitate. Oh, speaking of laundry. . .
I promise to slow down, if you do, too. Let’s all just take it easy, m’kay? We could call it a new tradition.
I wish I could limit my idealism to just Fridays. As it is, I laugh at myself every night I set an alarm for the next morning. As if the baby won’t wake me up hours before the buzzer! 🙂

Oh, that first year is hard! Sleep deprivation makes me nutty. ~W
I am feeling the same way with the changing weather…yet am suffering from so much life happening to me lately, that I will probably be “forcing” myself to relax this weekend instead…Enjoy your weekend too dear Wende…

I’ve been taking it easy… just schlogging through my archives trying to clean them… I’m quickly approaching 1000 posts and I’d like to have that part done by the time I reach it. 😀 ~W
Do NOT encourage me to relax. If I do not attack the tottering pile of mail something bad will happen.

Ok, Cap, sing with me… “RELAX, Don’t do it. . . ” Sorry, Mary, that was a little Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Ahem. If you must be busy, at least take a Sake break, m’kay? 😀 ~W
My pants!
It snowed again today. I almost cried. But then it melted and that made me smile again. This has been the longest winter ever in recorded history.
Everyone needs to recharge their batteries occasionally 🙂 Enjoy your weekend!

I’m with you, it does feel like the longest winter in history—and it’s not even snowing here. I’m so sorry. Sending warming thoughts your way. 😀 Let me know when you’re ready for me to make those pants… I can’t wait! ~W
The whole family is going to Alison’s play tomorrow–either the afternoon or evening show. We’re going out to dinner with Ashley and her boyfriend plus a couple of friends before the play. It won’t be a relaxing weekend, but it will be special.

Sounds like terrific plans. I spent the day in bed. The DOWN side to working out, is that it has triggered my asthma… so I’m not getting air like I should. Makes me really tired. So, I’m taking days off as I need to. The good news is that as it warms up and I get into better shape the asthma will abate. If it doesn’t I’ll get an inhaler. ~W
Relax. Yea, right. Relaxing is for summer, isn’t it? Sigh.
