Today will be a small lazy day. For one, this post won’t be a long one. Sometimes we writers need to kick back. I find it to be one of the hardest things in life to do. My mind never shuts up. There’s constant character chatter. Constant plot construction going on. Or, my soul is journaling some personal experience.
And if words aren’t busying my day, hair loppings are. Or, housework. Laundry. Cooking. Grocery shopping and errand runs. There’s always something keeping me from a perfect lazy day.
My perfect lazy day would be sleeping in until maybe seven and lay in my bed until ten. I’d make myself a cup of tea and grab a book to read. Play some relaxing music. Later, I’d feast on fruits and cheeses. I’d go for a long walk and ponder things (I’d probably have a scratch pad to scribble my mind babblings on). Maybe, I’d rent a bunch of movies I haven’t seen and do a couch potato thing for the day. I’d definitely take a nap. These are some things that would make my perfect lazy day.
One day. Perhaps.
What would your perfect lazy day be?
Before I leave you, I found something from Spanky and Our Gang, a Lazy Day remix. Enjoy!
Happy blogging, reading, and writing!

That sounds like a perfect day! I used to have those way back when. I'd roll from the bed to the couch, read and drink coffee, nap a little. Of course that was before responsibilities took over. But as you said... one day!!
ReplyDelete@ Halli: Yup. One day. It'll come even if it's just for one day.
ReplyDeleteI like your lazy day. I could use one too. Lol
ReplyDeleteWhat's a lazy day? I don't have the time for one.
ReplyDelete@ Jen: Me, too.
ReplyDelete@Bob: My lazy day resides somewhere in my imagination.
Let's see, my perfect lazy day would be to sleep-in, get outside and out of the city (go wine tasting if possible) and finish the day playing with my dogs in the backyard. Then I'd read until I fell asleep.
ReplyDeleteYep, that sounds pretty dang amazing right now! :0)
@E.J. That sounds like a really great lazy day.
ReplyDeleteYour lazy day sounds great, Shelly!
ReplyDeleteYou should try to make it happen.
Good luck!
I love that song-but you already knew that!
ReplyDeleteHope you get a lazy weekend ahead-
Love your posts!
@Lesley: I'm working on it. Thank you for stopping by.
ReplyDelete@Eve: Sublimnaly (spelling?) I think I posted this just for you. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteShelly, I'm lazy on the internet. I could sit and just look at stuff on the internet. But, if I'm not doing that, then the perfect day would be snuggling up on the couch, watching some movies and then reading a book. Sleeping in??? What the heck is that??? LOL
ReplyDeleteBTW, on Facebook, I said I left you a comment, but I meant I left you a comment on my character blog...LOL
ReplyDeleteBeth: Lazy you're not. And, I'll go check out your comments on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you, aside from the nap. I've never been a nap person. It kinda sucks :D
ReplyDeleteA lazy day sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI think a walk in the woods with a sketch pad and camera sounds nice. Snuggling with a good book and coffee. Knitting while watching a total girlie movie (I'm the only girl in my house), so maybe while they're away. I would hope my house is all clean, so I wouldn't feel the urge to clean it. :)
I like your lazy day - except it'd be nice if someone made the cup of tea for me, I'm trying to train the dog, Border Collies are 'supposed' to be smart, but she always adds too much milk. ;-j

@Jolene: Really, if I try to take a nap, I just end up lying on the sofa with my eyes closed listening to my dogs panting above me.
ReplyDelete@Heather: I would definitely take my camera. I love pictures but can't draw worth a hill of beans.
@Charmaine: Sir Poops-A-Lot and I are working on the same thing. However, Honey Bear learned how to get ice out of the fridge door. One day I'll post a video of it.
Thank you all for stopping by.

A nice hike, somewhere with a cliff preferably.
ReplyDeleteWhat, that can't rate as a lazy day?
@ William: Hiking up a cliff does take work. It's more like climbing up real high and you keep from peeing yourself. That soumds like work.
