Blessed Saturdays

I bet you thought you were going to get a tribute to the new year or a review of the old. It seems that's the traditional thing to do around this time of year but this is neither this nor that and you already know how I feel about that...or is it this? That's neither here nor there.

Anyway, I know Sunday is the holy day but Saturday is right up there. Just ask a Jew.

Saturday is the one day to get everything done you've neglected over the week--like sleep...and read...and write on your blog. You probably thought I was talking about running errands and doing laundry or finally washing your dishes. May you stand corrected.

Today has been a great Saturday, not because I picked up the clothes off my floor or unpacked my suitcase from Christmas or even went to the grocery store to restock my bare fridge (when I say bare I mean 1 egg, 3 tortillas, American cheese, spaghetti sauce, and a tub of butter). Instead, I did absolutely nothing I needed to and merely accomplished things I probably never would have had it not been a Saturday--like replace my porch lights and start reading Twilight. The new picture for my header is quite an accurate depiction...on the contrary, it's an ACTUAL depiction of what I did today. I realize some of you may think that replacing my porch lights and reading Twilight are absolute necessities. However, I haven't noticed a marked increase in criminals skulking around my front door in the past few months and, well...the book Twilight is another issue entirely. Perhaps I'm loving today because, unlike the past few weeks, I have attained freedom (through the generosity of a friend) and am no longer a prisoner to my lack of transportation--which is a story for another time.

So, yes, Sunday is THE blessed day but man...Saturday...

Lohra, I'm going to need you to follow my directions: 1) Put the book down. 2) wait, throw the book or even better, burn it. This may sound harsh coming from a book lover, but I'm simply looking out for you.
Happy Reading. And remember, baseball is the national pasttime.

Wow! those stunt devils/standins have a striking resemblance to you. Strong work on the photoshopping; first glance it literally looked like 3 peeps.

It's not bad, I'll be honest. I respect you for overlapping so much, and we all know how hard it is to mess with the couch cushions being at different levels, honey, let me tell you. It's addictive too, isnt it? Once you make on picture with three lauras in it, you just cant stop thinking about how much cooler it would be to have FOUR Lauras. But why stop there?
