In the Mormon faith, we meet for 3 hours of church on Sunday. Depending on how many congregations meet in one building (members divide by geographical locations into "wards"), church may start at 9 am, 11 am, or 1 pm. In some very unfortunate instances, church can start at 3pm. To make certain that no one congregation has the nastier afternoon schedules long enough that even the Bishop stops attending, we rotate time schedules each year. This year, our ward rotated back into the coveted 9 am time slot. This leaves a whole day of nothing since we don't shop, spend money, or work on the Sabbath. So, how did I pass my first lazy Sunday? Well, I....
Shared a lovely moment with my cat as I pondered what to do with my day.
Trashed the last reminders of the events of a terrible year. I've even changed journals (Journals are sacred and can't be destroyed. They can, however, be buried deep in the attic in a box full of junk that I am guaranteed not to need until I'm 95.). It's a completely fresh start.
Improved my mind by experiencing art from various cultures (please note the gorgeous caftan sent to me this Christmas from some much-loved Malaysian bloggers!). This pic originally involved me in yoga poses. Have realized I do not look pretty while doing yoga.
Assuaged minor upset over ugly yoga AND revived my energy by keeping my 2 favorite junk food companies in business for another year.
Cleaned the messiest room in creation. Yee-ikes. I'm never this cluttered.
Figured out a way to display my caftan to marvelous effect. Though the blue book of Haziz poetry isn't working as a display item. I just love it too much to lose on a bookshelf.
Finally stowed away all the wonderful gifts I got for Christmas. Then added "write thank you notes" to the to-do list.
Having accomplished so much, sat down to enjoy the great American sport. (Dem - I know what you're going to say...I would gladly watch soccer if it were televised and announced by Madden.)
Mmmmm....the sun was so lovely and warm....
I'll just close my eyes and listen for a bit. Madden is just as funny without the action.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And that is why there are no Madden quotes today.
I taught the monkey the fine art of TV mockery....he said he's heard it before with better jokes...I told him to watch the blase stuff or he could find himself misdirected on a slow-boat to nowhere....
Anyway, thanks, RaJ, for the opportunity to play along...for any interesting in the moneky project - get on over to his place to check out the purpose and adventure of this little play-along blog idea!
