I'm going to make a shameful admission. It's 11:30am and I've barely gotten out of bed. In fact, I turned on the computer and hopped back in to huddle under the covers to try to keep warm. It's hard to believe that July is here in Southern California, but I'll make another admission - gloomy weather is good thinking weather. It makes me slow down and think about all kinds of things. Like:
-Gee I miss my mom I really need to call her back.
-I wonder what Rosamond is doing right now?
-Why are my cats galloping around the house?
-Wait! Were those cats on my white bedding again?!?
-What is up with bedroom furniture sets?
-I need more space to hold my clothes and shoes this is out of control.
-Gross! Is that a June Bug?!?
-Damn I wish my birthday wasn't coming up again.
-Gotta Skype with the niece this weekend.
-My feet are cold.
-Is the Chef ever going to get out of the water to make me some more Ebelskivers?
-I hope I win the lotto so I can buy clothes for fall. Maybe I should buy a ticket.
There is no rhyme or reason to these thoughts - they're just flowing smoothly all through the brain area in no particular order and completely overlapping one another. These thoughts and many more. The ones that continued to arise this morning were basically I am having dessert-like Ebelskivers for breakfast - after I have some warm breakfasty style ones. hehe
The kind people at CSN Stores have contacted me to do a review/giveaway. Have you visited them? They offer a ton of stuff from a bazillion brands - and the brands are primo. Everything from amazing Herman Miller Chairs and Diane Von Furstenberg Luggage to, yes, entire bedroom furniture sets. You can even find a scratching post for your cats so they don't tear up your James Perse bedding (prolly should have thought of that sooner...).
In any event, stay tuned for a little giveaway within the next week or so. It will be related to something I've talked about on my blog in the past, something that was well-received, and something I hope doesn't sell out before I get it to give to you!! Cross your fingers ladies...I hope you're hungry!
xoxo-Carrie
Have a great weekend!!

the anticipation! get up lazy cakes :)
I'm so jealous, I wish I could just lie in bed all day! I get woken up at ungodly hours sometimes and weekends are no longer lie-in days. How weird that it's cold in California!
I'll trade weather with you if you like. It's been around 100° almost every day here. I hate it. Toooo hot for me!
Hope you have a great weekend!
come play in new york! we'll have to find a pool because it's been hot, hot, hot! i love a lazy day and loved reading your stream of consciousness :) i can't wait for the giveaway!
I yearn for a lotto winning to cover my wardrobe fixations too! Maybe Lady Luck will be kind to us this year!
I have my own CSN giveaway up now - come by!
Don't lay in bed you're wasting valuable shopping time...lol!

That's right FMF - I'm off to you know where to see if I can get some more of that you know what!!
I really cannot believe it's cold in California!!!
Me either!! SUCKY!!
Yours is the best blog post I read all day... I like it when I read something I can totally relate to... random thoughts.
I must confess it's insanely hot here therefore, I "had to" check out of work early again today. And did some light reading while soaking up the sun. Have you read "Bergdorf Blondes"? I'm on my second go around. Something tells me you would like it.
cheers

This weather makes me want to stay in bed too. I love your random thoughts. That's how my mind works as well. Haha. Congrats on the CSN giveaway! I can't wait to see what it is. :)

Looking forward to the giveaway!

can't wait for giveaway!
ps . the should call it June/July gloom.
Yes I know the weather has been sucking a lot in California! I didn't even get dressed until way late in the day :/ there's just nothing to do!
I love gloomy weather for thinking and not getting out of bed. When I actually want to get stuff done, ugh...
Ha, I love the list of things on your mind. I am the same way at night!
How nice it is to have lazy mornings sometimes. Everyone deserves to have these mornings every once in a while!
I had one lazy day. It's been too hot in central Cali to do much. It makes me soo tired!!
I hope you have a great weekend!
Yes, i sooo often have a lot of thoughts and ideas in my head. And what do i do? Not so much ( sometimes).
Have a happy,happy weekend. XX
I'm usually a morning person but if I get late, that just makes me stay in bed and think just like you!! :) Following you!
I have random thoughts too when I'm trying to have steal another 10 minutes in bed.
oh gosh.. i totally know what you mean with gloomy weather and thinking.. aaahhh!!! but it's good that you end up remember how your relatives and friends are doing! :D
Animated Confessions
I wake up naturally without an alarm clock, but I am usually in bed before midnight. It's rare when I feel like going back to bed even on a gloomy morning but such days are good for one's soul. I enjoyed reading your random thoughts. have a nice weekend;-)
Right, that's it, I'm sending you some sunshine! And if it takes a while to arrive, cuddle up under the sheets with hot chocolate and a good black-and-white movie. :)
Leia's Delights
Thanks for tagging me, I answered it here, p.s. I'm scared of moths too.
Haha! This is so me..."I hope I win the lotto so I can buy clothes for fall. Maybe I should buy a ticket." Love it! Yayay for giveaways!
Ah, I just realized that your profile says that you are a cat rescuer and lover - so am I! All three of my cats are rescues with disabilities - I don't know what I'd do without them.
Happy, Happy Weekend, Carrie!! :)
