A good for nothing day

Sunday, July 30, 6:47 PM:

Having just dragged myself out of bed approximately 1 hour and 56 min ago, I am now enjoying the blissful laziness of a Sunday afternoon/evening. Normally, I don't sleep until 5ish in the evening on weekends, but every time I woke up this morning/afternoon I would run through my mind the things that I should get done today. The only thing that came to mind was grocery shopping and laundry, both of which can be accomplished well into the night thanks to 24 hour Wal-Marts and owning a washer and dryer. And so I stayed in bed. I finally woke up when Trav called me, and I admit, I played off my half-asleep voice like I had just been napping. I failed to mention the fact that I had yet to get out of bed at all that day.

No, I'm not depressed. Yes, I am a little lazy. But at this point in my life Sundays are so beautifully simplistic that there really is nothing else to do with them but sleep. And blog, apparently.

I guess now that it is 6:52 PM I should consider getting out of my pajamas. Or maybe I'll just watch a movie.

An interesting thought about building relationships

Reading today I came across this...

"When I am talking to somebody there are always two conversations going on. The first is on the surface; it is about politics or music or whatever it is our mouths are saying. The other is beneath the surface, on the level of the heart, and my heart is either communicating that I like the person I am talking to or I don't.... Here is something very simple about relationships...: Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them." --Donald Miller, from Blue Like Jazz

I find this to be a very true thing in life.
