What a wonderful day

I don't believe I have felt such contentment and peace of mind in years.

It's 47 degrees, overcast, no wind.

I spent the morning absorbed in some interweb research for a project I'm thinking about. No thoughts of doing anything else, no ideas or cares of what anyone else would think of my project.

Went for a walk, was wearing just the right amount of clothing to feel the nip in the air, but not get cold. I wore the sweat pants and top I slept in last night, and just added some mittens and a hat. The first person I saw out my front door said they hadn't been outside until then either, and confessed she was wearing what she slept in, with a hoodie. It was a bonding moment.

Now I'm eating angel hair pasta and sauce from a jar. Yes, food snobs, sauce from a jar.

Today is my 19th wedding anniversary and we're doing absolutely nothing about it. Nice.

This is the perfect way to start 2013.

Sounds like a fine day.

@chai2,
That would be 47 above freezing, I presume.

@roger,
It has been beautiful for a lot of reasons.
Sorry you resent food interested people, especially since I often agree with you on food matters and that you can be stern yourself.

I guess I'll leave, calling you a running shoe rolfing snot.

I like you, Chai, not that you care, but have a good next year..

Thanks.

I hope you and the Puerto Rican will be celebrating the same in the future.

@ossobuco,
I can't say I followed that, but it all sounds just fine.

@33export,
Heh!

When I was in my 20's a bf and I went to the movies for a matinee, and this old clip played before the feature.

A little boy, a bit younger than the kids in this, stood up and starting singing (loudly), along with Uncle Remus "ZIPPIDY DOO DAH! ZIPPIDY A!"

When it was over, he loudly applauded, yelling "YAAAY!"

It was so sweet, and funny.

He's probably around 35 or 40 now. Smile
