Today is shaping up to be a great day.  It’s sunny, my house is in great shape (the office is clean!), and as a result I am filled with energy for doing projects and making stuff.  I have a bunch of quilt squares that I think I’ll dig in to today - I’m making a very simple quilt top for a couch blanket.  I’ll watch downloaded TV programs or listen to podcasts and just putter around.  Husband got called in to work, which generally means he’s going to be gone all day, so it’s going to be just me today.

And I was thinking, you know what would be good?  It would be good if I had someone who would just come over and hang out.  Like we used to do in high school, where you didn’t need a plan or a destination or even an activity to visit.  You just came over, and we put on Much Music, and we loafed around drinking Slurpees and talking about boys.  Now that I am an adult, it seems like no one does that any more.  And it’s a shame, because today would be the perfect day for companionable loafing.

We could even talk about boys.
