Early to Bed and Early to Rise….
My poor mother had an unnecessarily early start to her day today. I woke up at 6:06 and had to go to the bathroom, so I got out of bed, told Chappy that I’d be right back, and slipped out of my room, pulling my door mostly closed behind me. Just like I’ve done countless times before . . . Except, this time, he apparently decided that six a.m. counted as morning and not night-time, and so he hopped off the bed and went trotting down the hallway into my parents’ room, where he promptly stole my father’s socks from the floor next to the bed and got my mother out of bed to chase after him . . . I apologized profusely after I’d retrieved the socks and ushered Chappy back into my room to climb back into bed, but the damage was already done. Mom couldn’t get back to sleep. All my fault. Well, Chappy’s really, but still! The boys both enjoyed the "adventure" though–Chappy thought this was great fun, and my Dad was glad to get a chance to see him before he left for the golf course. (Most weekends, Chappy and I sleep in and so don’t see Dad until he gets home around 3:00–the two buddies miss saying good morning to each other.
Really, it’s just as well that Mom got a head-start on her night’s sleep by dozing through the movie we watched last night . . . ironically, "While You Were Sleeping."
So, anyway, I haven’t been quite so busy today as I was last weekend, but I did manage to get a few things done.
Like, finishing that first half of my Tibetan Dreams yarn. I finished plying it, wound it into a skein. (Well, two, technically.) And then I gave it a nice, warm bath before hanging it up to dry.
Sadly, it’s photographing more like autumny-shades of oranges and reds than the golds, purples, magentas that it really is in person, but it’s still awfully pretty.
Not perfectly spun, of course, but still, really lovely.
We took Chappy out for a nice, medium-length Sunday walk, too, which we enjoyed even if he didn’t get to see any of his neighborhood friends.
I baked some corn muffins, which made an excellent afternoon snack, with a cup of tea alongside.
Made a pot roast.
Ordered a zipper for my Celtic Icon. This is firmly an act of wishful thinking, because I’ve got a ways to go . . . but I like to be prepared. And am hoping I guessed right on the color.
Curled up with a good book.
Used my Scooba to clean the floors. (I do love my Scooba!!)
Spent the entire day with Chappy . . . which is exactly as it should be
All in all, a pretty good Sunday. Hope yours was good, too!

That yarn is pretty! *sigh* With the sun rising earlier and earlier, the kitties aren’t letting me sleep in very late on the weekends.
Lovely day indeed. Most days we have to wake Holli up!! She is definately a late sleeper. The yarn is beautiful.
I so wanted to spin outdoors this weekend but there just wasn’t enough time. Your spinning looks great…who wants perfect!
The Tibetan Dreams looks so dreamy. Love those colors. Sunday was beautiful day.
other than mom getting up early, it sounds like a perfect day to me too!
–deb - i was shocked at how fast it was to do the Library Thing. I catalogued over a thousand books in a couple days. and that is with three little kids around…do it, do it, do it, Peer pressure : )
Hee hee Chappy just wanted to say good morning to your dad, and found the perfect opportunity.
You know I always fall asleep during While you WEre Sleeping. It’s one of my favorite movies though, i watch it whenever I need a nap!
Honestly though I do love that movie
That yarn is beyond gorgeous!
that’s it. tempt me with time-saving gadgets like the scooba. and it’s on sale at amazon! sigh
The vision of you all chasing Chappy around that early in the morning just makes me laugh!
And that yarn is just stunning!
