Things to do on a lazy Saturday

9.00a: Open eyes slightly. Aw gosh! Its only 9.00a and its Saturday. Roll over, snuggle closer to the comforter and go back to sleep.

9.30a: Open eyes again. Aw gosh! Its only 9.30a. Wait a minute! Hey, its Saturday - I don't need to go to work. Jump out of bed.

9.45a: Make chai and take it to the coffee table along with the "marie" biscuts.

10.00a: Turn on TV. Watch Showbiz India. Man, that Tanisha looks so ugly. Uday looks uglier. Hmm, I didn't realize 'Karam' had a nice sounding song. God, is Abhishek really going to marry Ash?

11.00a: Bollywood news and entertainment quota for the week met. Grab 'Emma' and continue reading it. Mmmm, I like Jane Austen novels.

12.15p: Feeling hungry. Maybe I should cook good food *just* for myself.

1.30p: Eating chapathis and self-made dal, raitha & sabzi. I rock or what?

2.00p: Lying down in front of the heater, reading 'Emma'.

2.15p: Aaaah, I feel so warm, comfortable and sleepy. This is how cats must feel when they lie down in front of the fire-place.

2.30p: Now am covered with comforter and window shades are closed. Zzzzzz.

3.30p: Wake up with a start. Continue reading book.

4.00p: Make carrot kheer.

4.30p: Feeling very virtuos while drinking kheer. I know how to pamper myself. Wish I could only play the pampered part and let someone else do the pampering though.

5.00p: Hmm, maybe should take a shower.

5.15p: Finish putting away the washed clothes from last laundry-day which were still in laundry-bag, before going for bath.

6.15p: Wow, that was a refreshing bath. I *love* soaking in the bath tub.

6.30p: Drinking chai, I remember the kutti oil-lamp brought from India. I light it and feel even more virtuous.

6.45p: Feeling a bit homesick. Could do with some company about now.

7.00p: Finish looking at all the pictures from India trip for the nth time.

7.55p: Finish chatting with neighbor and get wireless network set up. Am using his wireless network and the speed (after my pathetic dialup) is just cool :-).

8.00p: Good net connection, good surfing speed - start blogging :-D!

p.s. I still have a couple of more hours to go to bed. But I am very confident that I will do absolutely *nothing* useful whatsoever in that span of time. Every once in a while, I simply love to just LAZE around on a holiday.

Ricky, ah, you don't know that I had a 3-day weekend. So I could afford getting up "early" one day so that I could get a heads up on the process of being lazy ;-)!

Archana Bahuguna said...

No matter how much work ther may be, Saturdays are the best, to laze around, we can worry the night before work week :)

Nice one Arch. Carrot Kheer, still left, I can drop by you know

Archana said...

Heheh, its "have" actually. The thing is, I always reserve the last bit of any vacation to mourn the return to work :-P! But I don't think I will do that today...

Sorry, all carrot kheer khattam. I eat at twice the speed with which I cook :-D!
