tea, candles and kittens

The weather where I live has been gorgeous recently, and many days have been spent outdoors at the park or beach. But after being outside all the time, constantly out and about under the sun it is kind of relaxing for that one over cast day when you can just stay in bed still in your pj's all day. I am probably one of the very few people who feel this way but I need that day every now and then when I light some nice smelling candles, make myself a cup of tea and busy myself in a magazine or on the computer. It's kind of theraputic for me and of course my cats will eventually slink into my room and hop onto my bed where they will curl into a ball and be fast asleep in five seconds flat. Lucky buggers.

The other evening I did something that I kind of hope will become a weekly tradition. I am one of the ones who admits that she spends way to much time on the computer. Even if I visit all of my daily websites and do all that I deem necessary on the computer I will continue to stay on and mindlessly surf the interwebz until before I know it, hours have passed. I will be the first to admit that it's quite sad and pathetic. That's why the other evening I shut down my laptop, turned off the WiFi on my iPod, ignored my phone, lit up a wide variety of candles and grabbed a stack of old magazines, slowly working my way through them. It was in fact one of the most peaceful evenings I had in awhile and I enjoyed it a lot more that an evening spend staring at the screen of a computer yet again. Before I knew it my most irratible kitty Survivor, who isn't a kitty in any sense of the word being the eldest of my three babies and the big, bad, king of the castle I call home, jumped up onto my bed and curled up on my bed and quickly fell asleep where he remained all night and until 10AM the next morning.

That in itself was lovely just because know that he is older Survivor doesn't like to cuddle very much and rarely sleeps with me preferring to sleep on weird hard places like the telephone book or the table. When I woke up the next morning all three of my kitties had surrounded me and were all asleep. All in all, it was lovely and I feel that more evenings without technology are in my future.
