Beautiful, Dreary Day


It is a beautiful day and I should have gone outside to enjoy it, but I didn't.  I should have cleaned the kitchen, done the laundry...I should have done a lot of things.  Do you ever have those days that you just can't get motivated to do anything?  I parked myself on the couch this morning and stayed there. 

It's 5 p.m. and I am just now getting dressed.  I would call the whole day a wash and start fresh tomorrow, but tonight is the Texas Hold 'Em party and I've been looking forward to seeing Poker Guy again.  I haven't eaten anything all day except some crackers so I'm looking forward to dinner, too.  I think I'll order the  Grilled Shrimp Alfredo.  "Spicy garlic and lime shrimp over penne pasta tossed in creamy Alfredo sauce. Topped with diced tomatoes, green onions and Parmesan cheese served with garlic toast."  Mmmmmm...

The picture was taken during my July road trip in Wyoming's Sinks Canyon State Park on a beautiful day that I didn't let go to waste.  I'll do better tomorrow.

Some days are good to just vegg...
I think that we all get so wrapped up in getting things done, we forget to just take down time when needed.
Hope the shrimp alfredo was good! Makes me hungry!

I just recently discovered that it's ok to do nothing from time to time. In fact, if you plan it out that on Saturday my goal is to accomplish nothing, and at the end of the day when nothing has been done, your goal has been accomplished. You job today was to make sure that that couch didn't go anywhere at least until 5PM. Nicely done.

@f8hasit: It was good! I usually like taking down time on rainy days, curled up with a book. Vegging on such a pretty day feels like a waste.

@John: Who knows what that couch would have been up to if I hadn't been here to watch it. You just can't trust them these days. I'm pretty sure the TV tray serves as a lookout and warns the rest of the furniture when I return...

We all need days to just do nothing; I call it recharging my batteries.

@kenju: It must have fully recharged them because I'm ready to go today.
