Note: For those of you reading through a feed reader, I have a new design that nice and fresh and clean with updated content.  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.

Even Charleston gets cold!

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.
