J and I didn’t get out of bed this morning until noon. Noon! I have been looking forward to today for so long. Why? Because for the first time in as long as I can remember, I have no appointments, functions or meetings to attend. I’m free to be as lazy as I want — and boy, have I been lazy. I’m still in my pajamas, actually, and I highly doubt I’m going to change out of them before I need to put them back on for bed later.

Over a leisurely breakfast of bagels, lox cream cheese, tomatoes and onion leftover from last night’s break the fast party at our place, J and I read the Sunday paper and flipped through all of the ads and circulars. Every Sunday I look forward to learning what’s going to be on sale that week — like I need a reason to buy more things. But look, honey, it’s on sale!

I learned from the “Arts” section that an Omaha native wrote the book The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which is now a movie starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. Doubt I’ll see it. I also learned that Viking is publishing the 50th anniversary edition of On the Road by Jack Kerouac. I doubt I’ll read it — rather, I doubt I’ll read it anytime soon — but I would like to have a copy for my “library.” Who do I still know at Viking?

After chatting a bit on the phone, J and I curled up on the couch and watched some shows we DVR’d last week, like last season’s finale of Grey’s Anatomy and an episode of Law & Order: SVU. J told me that the first time he watched the Grey’s episode, when it originally aired, he and his roommate at the time were practically in tears. It didn’t tug at my emotions that hard, but I did yell at the TV a couple times. Alex, what are you doing?? Tell that patient you love her!!

We also ate way too much of the profiterole-type dessert J made for last night’s dinner. It was more of log of puff pastry, vanilla pudding/Cool Whip, and strawberries and raspberries. What it really was was delicious. I have such a stomach ache now.

I took a couple of pictures of our newly decorated apartment — we’ve finally hung some art on the wall in our living room. I was going to post them with this piece, but J hasn’t re-installed Photoshop on my computer yet. My computer was acting incredibly slow and losing connection to the internet very frequently lately, so he wiped it clean and is starting to put everything back on it. My own personal Geek Squad!

I’ll let you know if anything Earth shattering happens later today, but I’m guessing it’s going to be much of the same — nothing. Hooray!
