Once upon a time, days off were reserved for running around like a crazy person trying to get everything done that simply could not be taken care of during the week. Today was thankfully not one of those days.
Outside the gentle swoosh of falling snowflakes could be heard. Inside the heat creaked and crackled, the tea pot whistled and the mouse clicked as I flipped through home pages on the web. Just to balance things out a bit, three miles on the treadmill with Food Network while thoughts of the past week began to disappear. Time flew by and a 20 + year old Goldie Hawn movie was on and who can resist that giggle? The movie was, "Deceived," and while it was light, on a leisurely day off it was perfect.
Afternoon tea and a book on the couch... don't mind if I do. Gregory Maguire and his tales after the Wizard of Oz are the perfect blend of magical adventure with unique phrases and bits of fantasy. Notes in a notebook for future writing topics. A few emails and text messages.
A bit of an experiment in the kitchen with a new chicken recipe; carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms and a sauce of peanut butter, soy sauce, chicken stock, garlic and ginger served over spaghetti. Slicing and chopping on the wooden butcher block. Stirring and fussing before enjoying. No agenda, no stress, no appointments, no driving, nothing but fabulous.
