How to spend a grey, rainy, gloomy afternoon...

Lazy
I want to be lazy
I want to be out in the sun
With no work to be done
Under that awning
They call the sky
Stretching and yawning
And let the world go drifting by

I want to peep
Through the deep
Tangled wildwood
Counting sheep
til I sleep
Like a child would
With a great big valise full
Of books to read where its peaceful
While I'm
Killing time
Being lazy


Life is short
And getting shorter with each day that goes by
And how the time does fly
Before you know, its over
That's why I'm
In such a hurry to pack my things and fly
To a spot
Where its nice and hot
And hear the birdies sing
While I'm being lazy ....



well, that cheered me up right up - but I still want to be lazy. I think I'll go read my new copy of James Cain's "Mildred Pierce" - which is much racier and more scandalous than the Joan Crawford movie version! Unfortunately, I won't be reading it while lying in that fabulous white fantasy bed at the top of the post. Sigh. What good is being lazy if I can't be fabulous while doing it?!

Enjoy your day - try to make something beautiful - or, join me being lazy!

  1. Can't be lazy today.... Was lazy yesterday!!
    If I had a choice of beds I would like the 3rd one, the shabby white pencil post BUT I would have it draped in gauzy white...... with one of my Chenille Bedspreads. Did I ever tell you I have a collection of vintage chenille bedspreads?? I got one last weekend at the Conklin, NY Flea Market for $6.00. It is perfect & beautiful!!
    I digress....
    Love the bling!!
    Take Care!
    Love,
    Marilyn

  7. Hard to decide which bed..so I think I would like to try them all. Lazy day here just a few miles north of you, where it is drizzly, cool, a perfect gray day to nap.

  8. Oh how I WISH I could be lazy right now! I'd choose that marvelous distressed white bed with the aqua headboard. So many things going on here right now, that I can only be lazy in my daydreams (so long as I'm not driving on the road at the time)! =)

  11. After a rather grueling PT, I am working HARD on being lazy!!!! But I sort of want to sneak off to the studio for a few minutes, and I just got two new art books.....I could be lazy and look at them.
    I could be a WHOLE LOT LAZIER in that first bed, and my Budgies would like it too! ;)
    It's just lazy weather; gloomy, rainy...snoozing follows.....

    XXXOOO!!!!!

  20. Hellooooo,

    Well yes bed #1 is ever so dreamy. But I think I'll curl up in the last bed. I mean look all the work is done. Walls, decorating, wonderful canopy. It's all there. You on the other hand will be so busy decorating to fit the bed in you will have missed your lazy time :)

  25. Oh, my God. That bed at the beginning is just heaven. I want it!!!

    And I love to read period trash novels, way more racy than 'Mildred Pierce.'

    Have you ever read "Laura", the book that the movie (with the great standard song) is based on? It's by Vera Caspary. It's totally fun, and as a Greenwich Villager, you'd love it.

    Lazy or Productive???

    I'm far too good at the former.

  30. Tristan,
    Your posts are like a grand performance. I love this video, there is no one like Marilyn. I love the beds, and it has been raining here in New England the last several days...is there anything as fun as sleeping in on a rainy day? See you Pink Saturday.

    Karen

    P.S. I was so glad that I could leave a comment. For some reason I have not been able to comment before.

  31. Hi, Tristan! I guess I'm a wee bit early for your Pink Saturday post, but I enjoyed this one. And that song is one of my all time favorites.

    Have a Happy Pink Saturday...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)
