When is the last time

When is the last time you took a day off just for yourself? Doing only what you WANTED to do? Nothing you had to do, or should do?

Sunday I took a Kacey Day. Yes, I call them Kacey Days. You can call them Kacey Days if you want to too! :smile:

I read this book on Sunday:

Mary Higgins Clark

Now, I love Mary Higgins Clark books. I’ve read everyone of them. She has a new one out each May. So (and this is terrible of me, but I’ll confess it to you guys. :secret: ) I give the new Mary Higgins Clark book to my mom each Mother’s Day because she loves Mary Higgins Clark books too. Then, of course, Mom gives it to me to read when she’s finished with it. Um, that’s kind of like giving MYSELF a present, isn’t it?? :roll:

This book, Where Are You Now, was a good read, but it was one of the few of her books that I figured out who did it before the end of the book. :angry: I hate that.

Now, back to the Kacey Day. When I said I read this book on Sunday…I mean, that is ALL I did. All day. Read this book. Oh, and took a nap. :wink: I did no laundry, paid no bills, cleaned nothing, did no grocery shopping, cooked no meals. It was a total Kacey Day. A great way to recharge.

So when is the last time you took a Kacey Day? A day all to yourself to do just what you wanted to do? If you took a Kacey Day, what did you do with your day?

Would you mind answering some quick questions? Then in the comments you can expound on any of your answers. Or ask more questions. Or tell me to get lost. :wink:

Yes, this is a terribly scientific poll, why do you ask? :roll: If you have any other blogging friends to send this way and answer the poll, I’d appreciate it. Thanks for your help! Any comments on any of the questions, why you chose an answer, or anything else you want to add is appreciated!

Home Again, Home Again

Wow, there really is no place like home. You know that feeling right as you’re opening the door? Like everything is just right?

front porch

It just smells like home. The faint scent of lavender as I walk to the front door. I love opening my red front door and pushing inside.

cats in laundry basket

Pink and Green ignore me for a bit to punish me for leaving them alone. (If you missed the post of how Pink and Green got their names, click on the link…)

my imac

Finally back to my beloved iMac. :love: I hate editing photos on my Macbook. Even though I love my Macbook, it’s just hard to know if I’m getting the photos too light or dark on my Macbook, and it really chugs along trying to run Photoshop. I’m back to my nice big screen and powerful computer. With my stuff surrounding me. Ah.

finch bird feeder

Back to my birds. They missed me. I know they did.

This time I got a wee bit obsessive…um, organized. That’s the word.As soon as we got home I unloaded the car, unpacked the suitcase…and hid the suitcases in the extra bedroom. I want no reminders of being gone. I just want to be home, home, home. Where everything feels right, and safe, and, well…the same. As much fun it is to share an apartment with my son part time. And of COURSE I’ll miss Charlie…but I’m so glad to be home. We’ve been gone way too much lately. Yes, Dorothy, there is no place like home. I truly think I’m a homebody at heart. How about you? Are you a homebody? An explorer? Something in between?
