I was walking around aimlessly this morning examining my house, and pondered some random things. Like....I don't make my bed unless someone comes over. I am a tidy person and our housekeeper Betty makes certain the house is clean at least once a week, but there is something about NOT making the bed that just feels good in a rebellious kind of way. When Betty comes over to clean, she always makes the bed and it drives me crazy. I also noticed that there were a lot of sunbeams around the house today and sunbeams make everything look so great... sunbeams also expose all the cat hair that the resident feline blesses us with every second! The other thing I realized is that I have cereal for breakfast almost every weekend and it HAS to be in my favorite bowl. Cereal does not taste the same when it is not eaten from my favorite bowl. And this morning, the cat was getting high again. I kid you not. She goes and licks my Runners World magazine... something about the finish on the paper makes her high...she rolls around and growls and then runs back and forth like a crazy whirlwind!
Have a great weekend.

me too about the bed...and i must drink coffee out of my favorite mug or it just isn't as enjoyable.
The first thing I thought when I saw your pictures was - that's an awesome bowl! It *surely* adds to the enjoyment of your cereal!
Have a great weekend of lounging about. PS - your shoes remind me of a cute pair of french press slippers (felted) that I saw on ravelry.
and what a lovely bowl it is!
I laughed out loud with your cat getting high off of Runners World! I guess it's inspiring her in its own way.
I was thinking the same as Prairie Girl...maybe it inspires her to get moving. ;-) Love your cereal bowl. We have plain white around here. Little does my hubby know, that will be changing soon. hehehe
hi raina,
i would have cereal everyday if i had your bowl... it is just gorgeous... i lOVE it!
i am not overly tidy at home and would love a housekeeper. i do like to make the bed each morning though... i can see how leaving it feels decadent but when it is made i feel that i can start the day... i love having cats but have not experienced any magazine licking yet... how funny! have a lovely weekend,
warm wishes
ginny xx
There's something so inviting about a bed that's not made.. but I make ours up everyday so the dogs end up sleeping on the bed, not in it. lol
Gorgeous bowl. I like the right bowl and my mug or my tea cup. It definitely tastes better.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
a cat with a magazine fetish...and getting high? wierd, you wonder what they coat it with!
A weekend wit time to enjoy the sunbeams - perfect
I am the opposite about beds!! They have to be made and the sheets all crisp! I wish I could be more relaxed though about things like that.
I love the bowl too.
So THAT'S why my cat likes to chew up photographs! I just thought he had a death wish! You are so right about having to have that special mug or bowl....Tea and coffee must be in the correct drinking vessel or they just don't taste right! And we think the CATS are weird!
That is the funniest thing I ever heard! (Not about the bed, about the cat...) Hah!
I'm with you about the bed. Mine only gets made when it gets to the point where we've kicked most of the blankets off the bed...then I make it up right before going to bed and immediately unmake it getting in!
That's a cat story I've not heard before...too funny!
What a fun post! I don't make our bed either. I'll pull the covers up (mostly to keep cat hair out of there), but it still looks sloppy. I'm beginning to think we need a housekeeper too -- it's usually messy around here. I laughed out loud when you said it drives you crazy if the cleaning lady makes your bed. I'd gladly be driven crazy!
i never make my bed and i feel no shame in that! :D
I have a favorite bowl, too. :) And cereal definitely tastes better in that bowl.
There is something deliciously decadent about an unmade bed! Our cat Charlie love to lounge in bed, so the bed often goes unmade...hate to disturb his beauty sleep. ;o) LOVE that bowl--it is beautiful. There is something too about eating from a favorite bowl or plate, drinking from a favorite cup--the experience is all the sweeter. Savor the sweetness, Raina :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
I have cups instead of bowls--pink Eskimo Jo cups for my water, and I hang onto them for days....I get so annoyed if Ben throws them in the sink before I'm ready!
what a nice set of photos! i wish my morning looked like this. i agree...must have my morning tea or coffee in my favorite mug or it's not okay. and that pretty bird bowl...would eat my cereal from it everyday too if i were you :)
i must say....... i have to make our bed every morning.... however, being home alone last weekend, i left it unmade. it felt GREAT!
hilarious about the cat!
I adore your favorite bowl...I have one as well...
but I make the bed...I do...LOL!
