I even have my last day picked out. Now if only I could go through with it...<br /><br />My perfect day would be sleeping in as late as I want, drinking coffee while reading blogs, say hi to twitter, take my dogs for a walk, write a blog post, hang out with the husband when he's off of work and work on my novel when he goes to bed. Maybe I'd work on my novel throughout the day, but most of my novel writing inspiration comes at night.Sarcasm Goddesshttp://4theluvofwriting.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-21811912057922570912011-09-14T14:03:27.373-08:002011-09-14T14:03:27.373-08:00I love the perfect days of simple relaxing.

It's 5:30 pm and I haven't showered and I've done nothing with my day and I'm a loser!" Because that's not so perfect. But the other kind? Intentional Relaxing (I think I just made up a psuedopsychological term) is a great way to spend a day.Elise M.

There's no fighting (not that there usually is or anything, haha) or stress or anything, just a whole long day of relaxing together and being happy. :)<br /><br />(Another really good day is one where I have no school or work and can just hang out and read and be by myself and chill! I'm having one of those days today. It is wonderful.)himitsusjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-84052088170765410752011-09-06T21:07:46.383-08:002011-09-06T21:07:46.383-08:00Sometimes, I think the unplanned, spontaneous, non...Sometimes, I think the unplanned, spontaneous, non-complicated days are the best.

That we're not just having fun or being social, but that we're actually making them think and changing their lives. Time will tell, I guess.Elise M.

When I was away at college, it would have been nearly impossible for my parents to surprise me (what with the need for plane tickets and hotel reservations and whatnot). But it didn't keep me from wishing for it all the time. I can see how that would be a prefect day!Elise M.

Basically, any time I was not at work hating my good for nothing coworker (lol maybe we were working for the same office?) was a good day. Specifically, when Boyfriend and I were supposed to go to Greece, and instead Mother Nature grounded us (and all of the European Union for that matter.) and we spent the WHOLE weekend indoors, watching television and movies, and cuddling and sleeping in. . . it was great. :) <br /><br />I plan to relive this when he gets back on his midtour in October. We are going to Vegas to rock out in three concerts, and live like honeymooners! lolAlyssahttp://www.anaveragealyssa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-70742171847956253402011-09-03T21:26:19.975-08:002011-09-03T21:26:19.975-08:00I'm not sure what the absolute perfect day wou...I'm not sure what the absolute perfect day would be, but I'm pretty sure you would be in it.Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-84804301871658246012011-09-03T16:20:02.545-08:002011-09-03T16:20:02.545-08:00A Perfect Day: I would teach a half-day (totally ...A Perfect Day: I would teach a half-day (totally unrealistic). My HS kids would have a really good discussion about some important topic and leave class still talking about it. I'd go home and make something with my husband. Then, he'd make a fantastic dinner. I would read while he cooked. Then we'd snuggle and watch tv.

The stories of the bosses you've had are enough that if I had your job, I'd seriously consider a career change.<br /><br />For me it's not about good days as much as good nights, as I have a 6-month-old. Who is FINALLY starting to sleep for longer than 45 minutes at a time. (Yes. For MONTHS I have been getting up every 45-90 minutes, battling for 30+ minutes to get her back to sleep, then flopping into bed just to start the cycle over again in another 45 minutes. I have been told this is not normal, I just got the world's crappiest-sleeping baby.)<br /><br />But last night was a good night. I wont' say how good lest I jinx it for tonight, but let's just say that for once I am rested enough to only need ONE cup of coffee, not 50.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923283245460039075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727377311092372823.post-74933179223376217342011-09-03T03:02:18.429-08:002011-09-03T03:02:18.429-08:00A really good day would be my parents turning up o...A really good day would be my parents turning up on my doorstep, but they live in a foreign country and my dad won't come back to England so, meh.<br /><br />I'm so glad you had such a wonderful day, you needed it badly I think.Sarah Pearsonnoreply@blogger.com
