Quiet little corner of the world
Today was a glorious day. I did not HAVE to go anywhere - I did go out for a while, but only because I chose to. John got me a new leather chair and ottoman ( birthday) for me to create a little reading/sitting area in our bedroom. The ottoman did not match - so it had to be swapped out..so off I go to swap it. ( I hate lines and returning stuff - so this was a real exercise in patience for me...I think I did ok)
We finally got it home and set up and I just sat and read for over an hour. Just me. All by myself. Wow. I am reading a book on Italy, as John and I plan to go there next year for our 20th anniversary. So now I have my own little quiet corner of the world to read, listen and preview music for church, or just sit and think. I think that I am a better wife and mother for getting a little solitude. I have not always required solitude - now I do. Don't get me wrong - I still love a rip snorting good time, mind you! Don't leave me off the guest list for parties -- I am still a fun girl! I just need rest in between! So now, I will go back to my corner and resume my reading.

Great Birthday present....Good job, John. I love my sitting area in my bedroom.....I watch TV, read, study, pray, blog, lurk...all that good stuff.
Where you planning on going in Italy? If I could remember the name of the AWESOME restaurant we frequent every time we go, I'd share it. You'll love Italy.
ok, we need your picture on your blog. I've got one I can send you...just remind me, ok???? Back to your reading...see you tomorrow...
Great gift! Reminds me of a present Gary gave me once...I stopped by a furniture store to look at some furniture and found a huge purple bow with a "Happy Birthday" banner on an armoire I had been eyeing! We have great husbands, don't we?!
I agree with Chelle...put up a picture chicky! By the way, "rip snorting"??? Hmmm...I think I've been missing out---invite me to one of those parties!
Let me know when you go to Rome........been there done that and it's great!!!! I really think that eating and pasta is a religous experience there....who'd thunk it??
I am happy you have your happy, quiet spot (not to be confused with naughty spot since you are a good girl, right? ) to sit and read!!
I'm with 'realestategirl'....'rip snorting' got my attention too!
Forget "Calgon take me away". Give me a good book any day!
And Happy Birthday to-o-o-o you!
Hallo I absolutely adore your site. You have beautiful graphics I have ever seen.
