SOMETIMES DOING NOTHING IS REALLY, REALLY NICE.
We were snowed in last week and with 20 inches of snow and nowhere to go I entertained myself by listening to music, writing, reading and eating. Maybe food doesn’t count because we always eat but isn’t it such a great excuse when you are snowed in?! I made brownies (excuse: because we are snowed in), I ordered pizza (because we are snowed in), I watched stupid television shows (again, because we are snowed in) and I made some phone calls….(because we are, you know the rest). Being snowed in isn’t really bad at all if it’s just for a day or two. I relaxed in front of our fireplace drinking hot chocolate with whipped cream, I cradled my 8-year-old mutt and didn’t concentrate or worry about anything. How do you spell “snowed in?” I spell it PEACEFUL.

I love this! It is exactly what I would have written in response to that question. Here’s what I ended up with: http://sandydrain.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/a-welcome-respite-for-the-snow-weary/

I noticed that, too! I don’t know if you saw, my original title was “a welcome respite for the snow weary” which seems to match your title “sometimes doing nothing is really, really nice.” And, I loved that your “really, really” repetition is like my closing “very, very, very fine.” I will have to follow you more!

Oh what a wonderful excuse!! Much better than “I’m sick today, so I’ll do nothing”! Relaxing and not having to worry about anything except are the brownies done? And what’s
on cable tonight? Hope the snow doesn’t melt too soon!
