I'm sitting in my warm bed, under the electric blanket - all toasty! Drinking my White Chocolate Raspberry cappuccino, pondering my day. I have 2 full days off stretching in front of me!
I slept in - an extra 90 minutes. Great start!
Got up, let the dog out (after a 5 minute search, blind, for my GLASSES - I really need a clapper for the damn things!). Made the cappuccino. Back to bed.
Turned on GMA (thank you, DVR!) - only to discover that today's "news" is all basketball, all the time. That isn't news, folks - it is sports. Yuck. Fast forwarded through all of it.
It is nasty cold and rainy outside.
I am just a few hours away from finishing my latest freeform beading design, but because it involves about 40 individual piles of the various beads I am adding to it (I was bored on Friday, and I counted - 47 piles!), it is not really portable, so it is over in Georgia, sitting on my beading table at the shop.
I brought home a new project, one I tried to start last weekend, but the galvanized beads I had hastily chosen on my way out the door last Saturday evening were being naughty: As I worked the project's first few rows, my fingers started turning purple, and the purple beads starting turning silver. Hmmmm. I have never had that happen with galvanized beads, although I have heard about it. I decided I didn't want to waste time working with those beads, so I scrapped it. Now I have some non-galvanized beads to try, but I'm not as thrilled about the colors - but anyway, beading is a possibility.
I started a new Zentangle last night, so I could work on that.
I could read. I have hundreds of books on my Kindle that I'd like to read - especially the excellent one I'm in the middle of right now: Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore! I discovered this book on my friend Karin's blog - and it is excellent. It is truly one of those "can't put down" books - I want to know how it ends, but I will be so sorry when there is no more of it to read!
Mr. Penumbra - one of the best books I've ever read
And of course, I could
Here's what I NEED to do: clean the house. Ugh. 2 whole days? I could really make a dent in it!
Possibilities:
- bead weaving
- zentangling
- reading
- Pinterest-ing
- cleaning house
1 is comparable, in my mind, to getting a root canal while listening to an endless loop of fingernails on the blackboard.
So, how should I spend my day?

The house will still need cleaning 2 days from now so may as well fill it with things you do want to do on your days off - I always feel accomplished when I play - cleaning the house well everytime I turn around it needs cleaning .....
"The house will still need cleaning 2 days from now" - if only I hadn't been saying that for SIX MONTHS ... bwahahahaha -
Its my mantra - I'll clean tomorrow !
I have to act on my ideas - at my age I may forget them.....
LOL!
I hope the beads won...but it's so hard to keeping humming along on a project if the colors don't inspire. Penumbra is one of my favorite reads ever - so glad you're loving it, too!
