I Want to be Lazy

One of my favorite movies is "Holiday Inn" starring Bing Crosby. Crosby's character, Jim Hardy, has had it with the big lights of the city and show biz. He's ready to take it easy; live in the country enjoying a stress-free life. While he's adjusting to his "easy" life in the country running a farm you hear Crosby singing:

Lazy

I want to be lazy

I want to be out in the sun

With no work to be done

Under that awning

They call the sky

Stretching and yawning

And let the world go drifting by

With a great big valise full

Of books to read where it's peaceful

While I'm Killing time Being lazy

That is exactly how I'm feeling today. Don't get me wrong. I've done my morning chores and basically have all of my have-to-do's done....it's just that I didn't want to do them. Instead, I wanted to go outside, lay down on the greening grass, look up at the bright blue sky and read my current book, Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo. Aahh....how lovely that sounds! Or maybe head off and buy some pretty pansies and dig in the garden. Or how about curling up in a sunny spot and taking an afternoon nap? Any of those ideas would fit me to a T.

What about you? What do you like to do when you are feeling lazy?
