in a perfect world

so yet again i have another day off. it feels silly not to be working but starting tomorrow i work non-stop for the next few days so i know these days are a gift and i should use them wisely. that's why i tried to really make the most of today...

i woke up early! really early.

the kind of early that makes you feel good after a good nights sleep.

it's the feeling of today is going to be great, and productive.

i am going to accomplishing something today!
i got out of bed and sneaked into the kitchen as to not wake the two that still lay soundly sleeping.

i put on a pot of coffee and headed into the study room.

i eventually sat down with my coffee and checked my e-mails, my blog, my website, a few unnecessary sites.

(if we got the new york times this would be when i would browse it)

i then headed off to the shower.

After a quick shower i headed into the kitchen for a quick and healthy breakfast right before settling into the mess i had left on the floor from my day off work i started yesterday.

i put on some music...something i haven't heard in a while that excites me, but yet is still comforting and inspirational.

i begin to sketch a few things in a tiny little notebook i've been keeping before really getting into the mess.

i'm running a few experiments and testing new transfers to different fabrics.

after playing and reflecting for a while i notice the time and realize i need to get going.

i slide on my boots and head out the door and a little over 20mins later i'm meeting a friend for coffee.

yes, more coffee...and maybe some soup.

after a little lunch and some great conversation we head off to browse a few stores.

along the way we are bouncing creative ideas off of one another and doing some basic catching up.

with out losing to much time to our days we know it's time to go.

we say goodbye both feeling relieved to have a good friend, someone to meet and chat with and feeling a little inspired from each other.

i head back home.

(if i lived in the city this might be when i hit up a museum to get some more inspiration or depending on what kind of day it is maybe i head to the gym, maybe i just head out and browse for some new supplies)

but eventually i go home and lose my self in preparing dinner.

after it's made i go back to doing more experiments until he is home and it's time to eat.

we have a nice dinner while he talks about his day at work and i talk about my day and new creative ideas i have for projects.

after dinner i linger a little longer over my projects and eventually call it quites for the day.

i get comfy and ready for bed.

i bring my little notebook and a new book i've just stared to my bed side table unsure of which i am going to indulge in.

while i jot in the notebook briefly making a few news from my what feels productive day i eventually get sucked into my book.

i read until my eyes get heavy and then i remove my glasses as i doze off into sleep wishing tomorrow could be just like today and i would never have to work.

...my day off today, went nothing like this...as i'm sure you can tell. instead, i stayed in bed way to long, watched to much tv, ran a few choice errands, indulged in too many unnecessary pointless magazines, and took one nap too many. i can feel today slipping away. a very unproductive day it was.
then again this is not a perfect world.

maybe one day soon will be like how i've depicted above.
