No more "going to do that"

Been sticking to my Lenten promise of giving up laziness.  Still meant I needed a quick cat nap this afternoon.  No more piles of mail, no dreaded full inbox of papers in the office, no dishes waiting for a turn in the dishwasher.  But I have left the floors without a vacumming.  Maybe not, I will probably get that done tonight.  Need to change the sheets anyway and if I put the old ones in the laundry, I will be confronted with the Dyson. 
I bought lovely new balcony chairs and broke them in properly this evening with my glass of Kirkland Sonoma Chardonnay.  Just the one glass, I wanted a sweet snack.  But I burnt the crud out of my batch of biscotti.  Not sure what happened but I did finally clean the oven, more banned laziness.  Threw out all the burnt biscotti (dark chocolate and slivered almond) minus one small tupperware of the least burnt.  Further proving that I am more my father than my mother.  I bet she never burnt a whole batch of the biscotti. 
I have been rather prolific in my reading as of late.  I guess part of that Lenten promise to stop saying "I will get to that" and actually doing it.  In the last week, I read Moveable Feast, finished Poser and started Mindfullness in plain English.  Kindle went with Chad to LA so that will be finished probably after this weekend.  I have a long list of books still to read : Sarah's Key, The man in the iron mask (so I can finish the series of Three Musketeer books), The Paris Wife, rereading We will always Paris, and Emma.  I think I have only read a bit of Austen and it was probably in my lame Humanities class in college.
I have taken up watching Anthony Bourdain religiously.  I wish I too was a chef with a cranky attitude and willingness to put anything in my mouth.  And get paid to visit places like Egypt, French Polynesia, Vienna, Nicaragua, etc.  In my dreams.  Came up with a list of places to go today.  Big Sur; Asheville, NC; Cape Cod; Glacier Park (not in early June); Santa Fe; NYC at Christmas time; Upper Penisula Michigan and many more.  Going to get to a vacation planned for the fall.  Maybe for 9-10-11?
Enjoying my life, including all the "boring" bits.  Nothing dramatic just good old living.  Working, coming home to a napping Chad and Junior, walking the dog and reading good books, shopping for food stuffs and finding inspiration in the simplest things.  Apples, door handles, shoes and the like.
