Week of Lazy

I never realized how lazy I could be until this week. There have been random moments of productivity: laundry, cleaning, cooking, tutoring, and sending off some emails for work. Also, these all sound so boring, so: I never realized how lazy AND boring I could be until this week.

Today, for example, I woke up at noon (the latest I have slept all summer) and then laid on the couch and watched TV for an hour, then went outside and laid on the back deck for 2 hours. Finally, I became so consumed with gross guilt that I went inside and got a book. One of those books on spirituality that makes you think. Why is it that if you lay down with a book in your hand, vs. with nothing in your hand, you are suddenly slightly more acceptable and productive? I am not sure, but it did the trick. Then I came in and did a 7 minute power ab workout-again, hoping to wash away some of the lazy guilt.

I am going to be jealous for a minute...everyone's life (broadcasted via the facebook) sounds so summery and interesting. I would like to think that the summers between college, I was interesting and fun too, but now reading about other people going to beaches, hiking, taking trips to cities, parks, museums, parties, and picnics, make me feel sooo lame. I feel as though I have evolved straight up into old lady status. I called my family today and they were on the beach in Maine.

Tomorrow I am babysitting the same kids I watched without pay for 11 hours Monday, when I realized I won't be having children for at least 10 years. The boy threw a ball into the hot oven while I was pulling dinner out and the ball melted and got stuck under the coils, creating an awful plastic-y smell and my face bright red yelling, and resulting in Corey's forearm burning while removing the ball with too-short grill tongs. So yes, I am looking forward to tomorrow.

I apologize for any negative energy this blog gives off. I really am happy! Just bored...and contemplative.
