She leaves the house.
I decided I had to get out of the house today. Sometimes on the weekend, I go into my home and I don’t go out until Mike picks me up for work on Monday. It’s quite lazy and not overly productive. I wish I had more energy sometimes, but I have to admit, it’s great to just relax and do my thing. Sometimes I think I’m still reacting to being with Brian. When he was around there was no time to just lay around in my pajamas and watch tv or knit or be on my computer. So even a year later I feel like I’m getting away with something when I do nothing but that. It feels rebellious, when really it is just sort of lazy and unproductive.
Mostly, I just had to get out of my apartment today because the cats are driving me crazy. They are just a mess sometimes and they wont’ leave me alone. I needed a break! Yep, it’s official. I’ve become the weird cat lady who needs a break from her beloved pets. Gah.
I just called Brian to tell him all about the cats. If anyone gets it, he does! We love our little ones.
Anyway, so I came to Panera today to just relax with a big glass of ice tea and play around on my computer. I’ve been doing some digital srapbooking, which was has been fun. The only problem is that I sort of feel like I’m doing work when I work on it. I guess I should feel so lucky that I get to do layout at my job and get paid for it. Just this week I got to layout a newsletter my organization publishes twice a year. I kept putting it off until I realized….what am I doing? This is what I love to do even if the content is boring.
I’m making a Barack Obama album on 12×12 prints to slide into the Picfolio Max. Fortunately for me they had great press kits with all of their logos in vector format. Perfect! I’m able to manipulate and use them to my delight! Here’s a peek at what I’ve made so far:
I also began working on Mike’s scarf that he requested. The red is bit bright, but I think it’s going to turn out nicely. It will be striped on the ends and just red in the middle. It reminds me of the Chicago Blackhawks, so I’m sure he’ll enjoy it.

When I do go home I’ve really got a lot things I need to do around the house. I have been seriously slacking during this crazy good week.

So what are you using for digital scrapbooking, the CM software? Are you running it on the mac in VM Fusion? Inquiring minds want to know. I think I might try to get that software for christmas. I haven’t done any scrapbooking for like 6 months.
Anyway your day sounds perfect, and I don’t think you should feel guilty at all for doing what you love to do. I feel guilty too and not because of who I’m married to, it’s because of my mom. Any time there was down time we had to be doing something productive. Which is why to this day I feel guilty for taking a nap, even if I’m super tired. Or like last weekend I was sick so I literally layed on the couch and watched tv all Sunday. But I still felt guilty. Stupid huh. Anyway I think there’s nothing wrong with retreating and spending quality time with yourself. Enjoy your day!
