It’s Sunday afternoon, I’ve just gotten back from a run and plan on doing a whole lot of not very much for the remainder of the day. I was in Stowe, Vermont for a girls’ weekend, which turned out to be relaxing and “just the thing.” The leaves are starting to change up there, which I appreciated given that I’ll be missing yet another Northeastern Fall this year…. at least Emory has a lot of money and likes to plant maples on campus, so I can pretend.
I’m trying to decide how I want to focus this blog. I think it’ll be just me, documenting away the trivialities of my life in hope’s that someone finds it interesting/amusing/informative/ridiculous. Hell, you could find it immensely boring and come back just to see if something happens in my life.
Either way, I’ll at least try and make a sarcastic comment or two in every post, add little spice.
Maybe I’ll do a word-of-the-day too. Maybe you’ll come to my site just to see when I forget to post one or not.
Word of the Day: lackadaisical (adj) – 1. without interest, vigor, or determination 2. slothful, lethargic, idle
Now, somehow, this word makes me almost immediately relax. I sit back in a chair, close my eyes, and let out a deep breath. It’s like Sunday afternoon. However, I’m reading the technical definition, and someone, somewhere, has decided that this laziness is negative, or in bad character. I say no. I say everyone should be lackadaisical at some point in their day-to-day existence. And no one can tell me otherwise. What do you think?
I’ll be lackadaisical on a Sunday afternoon if I darn want to.
