Tim and I did nothing today. It was sort of fabulous, and strangely draining. I'm glad we don't make a habit of it, but we probably needed it.

In the interest of keeping with the mood, I present a meme. I found this from Barth who found it via Gwenda. Barth had comments on some of the items, and in the interest of furthering my laziness, I've left those in where they applied to me. I also put in my own. No, I didn't distinguish between the two.

If you want to play along, copy this into your own journal and bold the ones you've done. Cheers!
