Home Time

On a rainy day like this, although I had previously been playing with the idea of going away this weekend , I really love staying in. Waking up to the pitter patter of rain on my window, cloudiness and dim lighting makes me curl into a ball in my bed and feel ... "homey." Putting on my slippers and house coat, picking up my dog and getting snuggled in the family room under a huge blanket seems like the only proper thing to do. After carefully choosing the perfect Full House episode from my collection, I lay my head against a pillow and watch the simple lives of a family I grew up with - the Tanners. Soon my mom wakes up and joins me with a cup of chocolat chaud and a few cookies.

After a few episodes, we decide to do some work. Each of us brings up a drawer from the kitchen and begin to clean them out, while still watching Full House. I even do some construction to my blog... and soon start to do homework. So here I am, taking a break from my homework, readjusting my Snuggie, sipping apple cider with my pajamas still on, finding myself loving today.

And although I love getting all dolled and dressed up while blasting Black Eyed Peas as I go out to party, there are days like these when I can curl up by a fire listening to Henry Mancini, Tony Bennett and Diana Krall all day and feel even more satisfied.
