Polka Dot Cottage: Taking the afternoon off

Taking the afternoon off

Posted December 11th, 2009 by Lisa

Oh, brrr! It’s so cold here today!  I’ve been spending the last several days cleaning, decorating, and furiously knitting, all in anticipation of the open house I’m hosting today, and I’m tired!  This morning was the first wave, which was lightly-attended, but still a pleasant time.  Tonight I hope to be busier.

But this afternoon, while I wait? I’m parking myself down on the couch, putting on a few DVRed Marthas, and knitting a Santa hat.  Soon enough I’ll be standing at the bus stop with my teeth chattering, waiting for the boys to come home.  Until then, I’m taking the day off and enjoying the fact that the howling wind is on the other side of the door.

Have a Happy Weekend, everyone!
