I decided to take today and tomorrow off from work to get some much needed rest. I need the break. Normally, when I take a day off, I am either going out of town or preparing the house for out of town guests. I rarely get the chance to simply rest on my day off. I'm taking that chance now.
I thought I might be full of enough energy to spend the day puttering around my kitchen making wonderful culinary concoctions. I had planned to wake up this morning and fix myself a huge breakfast of cheesy eggs, bacon, homemade hashbrowns and toast. Instead I threw a few slices of bacon in the microwave and made waffles from leftover batter I had in the fridge. A lazy cook's breakfast.
I'm not expecting the rest of the day to be much better. I just don't have the energy that I thought I would. I am out of clean plates so turning on the dishwasher is a strong possibility. Outside of that, I don't imagine I will get much else done.
The weather is not helping either. There is a winter storm advisory in effect right now for my little corner of The Bible Belt, which means, if past history is any indication, the temperature is going to stay just above freezing and it will rain all day. The air is cold and damp and all I feel like doing is curling up under my fluffy comforter and watching cooking shows. If I'm not going to actually do any fancy cooking, the least I can do is watch it on television.

Do you ever watch Nigella? Watching her makes me feel warm and comforted. :) Enjoy your 'you time'!
Yes, I LOVE Nigella! I think she is one of the prettiest women on television, curvy hips and all, and I'm so glad she has found her way to the FoodNetwork.
Chilling, watching TV, blogging a little, eating off paper plates, reading and doing crossword puzzles, yep, that’s my day. Aren’t' you jealous you can do it everyday?
Have a good resting time. Our winter storm warning for today entails 25 cm of snow, then freezing pellets later, high winds and all schools closed! This is the 2nd snow day for kids this week. Guess you'd consider me in the snow belt, eh?!!
I want to cook some comfort food like stew or soup or chili AND turn on my gas fireplace!
You're a woman after my own heart. Perfect way to spend the day off!
A day to yourself without obligation is so good for the soul. What a great thing to do.
Giada always makes for entertaining viewing. But Dandra Lee? Please.
Thanks for stopping by, Grant!
You know, I don't understand why people hate Sandra Lee so much. Maybe it's her perpetual perkiness, or her sagging boobs. Or maybe it's an intense hatred for all things "semi-homemade." I don't know. But those who hate her, really hate her.
I like Giada too. Her cleavage makes for very "entertaining viewing."
Giada doesn't seem to have a face and body, because I can't see anything beyond her teeth and boobs.
oh a day off to rest sounds splendid. making culinary concoctions or watching food tv sounds much more pleasant to me than work.
