A perfect day for me is one where I don't have to put any makeup on. Or pants. Basically, I love my house. I love bed. I love my laptop and my books and my Tivo and my XBox. I love wearing a big, soft comfy t-shirt and, on ocassion, my well worn, soft cotton yoga pants. I love gathering all of my entertainment accoutrements, a big huge glass of Diet Dr. Pepper, maybe a pint of Ben and Jerry's Mint Chocolate Cookie ice cream and snuggling on my couch under my fuzzy blanket and spending all day vegging out and

And I did a massive update to my Delicious links, which comes through the feedreader as well, so yea, sorry about that! I also preemptively thank you for reading this because it’s a long post! *grins*
Today has been one of those crappy, cold and rainy days here in the Lowcountry. In Yankee times, I would have hoped for snow and truthfully, with as cold and bitter as it has been the past few days, I wouldn’t have been surprised. No lie, we were downtown last night and there was a fountain in the garden of a hotel that was FROZEN! It was a sight to see. Regardless, this is South Carolina and snow is pretty much non-existent so we just have to be accepting of gray skies, crisp air and puddles and puddles of rain.
But dreary, rainy days give me the perfect excuse to do absolutely nothing but surf the Internet, watch TV 
and wear my pajamas all day. Steve hates this! He tries to act like he is all good with having a relaxing weekend where we have no obligations, no errands and spend nothing but after a few hours of doing nothing, he is as antsy as a five year old. Whereas I, on the other hand, relish days where I can veg out and do nothing and not feel guilty about what needs to be done and hasn’t or what rooms I could be cleaning. Sometimes I feel bad about him being bored – like maybe we should use the free time to go out as a couple and enjoy something and just get to know each other again. Or something like that. Other times, when he whines that he’s bored, I want to whack him in the face with his XBox controller, just to get the point across that he’s a grown man with hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars of fancy toys and tools and he STILL can’t find something to entertain himself.
Meanwhile, I never have enough time to fit in all the things that entertain me.
I did absolutely nothing today and I'm not ashamed of it. And when I say absolutely nothing, I mean I woke up, said goodbye to my visitors, laid on the couch in various positions and caught up on various backlogged programs on the Tivo. Most of those backlogged programs included Flipping Out and Chelsea Lately, both of which feature absolutely hilarious and entertaining people. (Yes, I kind of heart Jeff Lewis in all of his absurdity and Chelsea Handler is just hysterical!) I needed some lay around and relax and not feel guilty about things not being done time. I didn't even let
