Itchy Scratchy..

I had oodles and oodles of fun at the beach on Sunday. Although in my haste to see my lovely visitors, I completely forgot to slather on sunscreen.. so I kind of came back with a rosy crimson souvenir of my own... and today it itches incredibly!

Itchy Itchy in my Halloweenish Superstitious t-shirt... I wish I could make like a bear and just grab a corner or tree to lean against and scratch into a raw blissful oblivion.. but then again... that would also be very painful... so I'll happily and playfully just squint at my itchies.. at least I'll have a nice tan to start Fall / Winter with... thank you Irish skin and blazing October Florida sun!

Today was quite a late and slightly busy day for me. Despite such.. it was blissful. I slept a bit late after staying up til 1am working on work @ home. I first woke at 4am and took Mister to work. I came back home at 5am and immediately went back to sleep. I slept til 9am (the late part). Normally I sleep til 8ish on my days off. So I awake and hurriedly prepare for my day of grocery shopping and errands. I had prepared to gather materials for my art show on Friday. But after looking over my list I changed my mind and to save that for later in the week. (yes, I am quite nervous...)

Saturday Night I had the most wonderful fresh salad with ranch dressing... this salad reminded me that I should create my own fresh salads this week in which I stocked up with greenery at the grocery. Once arriving back home, clearly I was starved... so I decided to put my salad dreams into action! Time to get choppin! And Buttermilk Ranch to boot! oh yeah!

A snapshot of my salad for lunch... iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, farm cheese and country ham. Yum! I love all the beautiful colours! It's almost too pretty to eat! But don't worry... I did not put an ounce to waste. So filling!

I spent the remainder of my day washing dishes, cleaning the kitchen and various rooms and preparing laundry as well as doing more work at home...nothing exciting or eventful.. maybe even a tinge stressful (the work part) but all in all I'd say it was a good day. Nearly blissful in fact.

Given a taste of what it would be like to work from home...it will happen one day. I know this. I pray of this. I have big dreams... which is where I will end today's blog post with... as I sit here and scratch. Keep your eyes on the prize...no matter how big the Itch!
