oh heavenly day!

last night i fell asleep while reading a book somewhere around 9:00. this is extremely unusual for me and i was pretty sure i was going to wake up around 11:00 and not be able to sleep again until 2:00. what actually happened was that my lovely husband came over and talked me into stumbling up the stairs (i purposefully did not notice the time. i was trying my best to convince my brain that i was still asleep.) when he went to bed and despite the fact that i stopped to brush my teeth i had no problems sleeping through the night. i woke up around 7:30 and decided to take advantage of my early start by reading in bed. i am still trying to come up with a list of books for kids to read this summer (work project: deadline mid-march) and i’m trying to push through a bunch of possible titles. sometime in the very late morning, mr. h-s was kind enough to bring me breakfast in bed (gasp!) (in case you’re curious it was… sticky buns!) and i’m ashamed to say that i “worked” until (get ready for this) three-thirty in the afternoon. in my bed. with kitties on top. i pushed through two whole books and the last part of another one and the first three quarters of a fourth title. i am a jumble of mixed feelings. i sort of feel like i’ve had a completely unproductive day and feel a bit guilty about that. on the other hand, i’ve actually gotten quite far in this work project with its looming deadline and i feel great about that! on the third hand, i am flung back into my childhood when i would spend days on end doing exactly this same thing. i suppose that since the day is already over (pretty much) and there’s nothing i can do to “be more productive” i should just revel in the fact that i was able to afford a day of reading and get “more stuff done” on tuesday, my next day off. (have i mentioned that i love working 80%?)

to combat the utter couch-potatoe-y-ness of the day, the first thing i did when i got up was to go for a two mile run. on the way back, i curb-shopped a metal bar stool with a ripped seat that will be really cool once i replace the seat. i also saw the cutest little snowman in my neighbor’s yard, so with a quick stop home for the camera… i have engaged in more illegal trespassing activity and gotten this cute photo to share with you. something about the expression on its face reminds me of a certain gorilla… who would never be caught dead in a red beret…
