I was supposed to take the night off tonight. And, God knows I need it. Who ever thought one would need a VACAY from blogging. It’s work, you know?
It’d just be nice sometimes to chill at night and do nothing. Watch TV. Read a book…. But, then, when I actually GIVE myself a night off — like tonight — I kind of want to write something….
Tonight, instead of writing, I could be chilling in bed with the new book I’m reading, thanks to FAB reader, MEL, who wouldn’t SHUT UP about it.
I usually don’t do what Oprah says…. But, there’s a lot of BUZZ about this book; so, as a yoga teacher and as a blogger (and, again, because MEL wouldn’t SHUT UP about it!), I thought I should check it.
…Aaaaaand, I’m loving it. It’s really well written, CLEARLY explains abstract concepts, and it makes a whole lot of sense on various levels (personal, philosophical, religious, political, ethical, etc., etc.). Cheaty HIGHLY recommends….
Anyway, I’m going to cut this post short and read me book beside me sleeping Rascal (who, THE MINUTE I transfer him into his crib, will wake up screaming). Yeah, I’ll give myself a LITTLE break tonight and leave you with pics from the day…. Check it!
Somebody left THIS on it’sgrandma’s CAR!!!!!!!!

WTF!?!
Took Minden outside!!! My goal in life is to be one of those people who walks her cats….

As you can see, I have a long way to go with my goal in life…. Minden wanted nothing to do with outside….
Monkey and her butterfly wings: “Look, Mama! I’m a fairy budderfly!”

Sometimes, only SOMETIMES, she actually gets them on right….
‘Kay, off to self-enlighten. OH OH OH! Go check today’s post at CHEATY GOSSIP: I have friends in high places! LOVE! xo Haley-O

She’s a lovely little fairy butterfly. (glad to know mine aren’t the only ones who don’t wear pants!)
My mom has been trying to get me to read that book for a while, she loves it too.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend Haley, with some down time.

Hmmm – I’ve seen Oprah peddling this book, and maybe, just maybe I should read it, yanno, just to see what all the hype is about.
I bet Monkey and Sierra would love to play butterfly together. All my friends had boys when I had Sierra and the poor girl is just dying for a butterfly/princess friend!

Enjoy your night off. I have that book on reserve at the library, I should get it by summer. Let me know how you like it. A good friend of mine recommended both his books. Take Care!

Oh the curls on that girl! Just gorgeous!
I usually boycott whatever Oprah likes. I just don’t like being told what to like/buy/use all the time. A-nnoying!
I have heard much about this book though. Sounds interesting.

I have that book on my night-table and I’ve only just begun to read it… funny how it’s ‘everywhere’. I don’t watch Oprah so I hadn’t even heard about it until I got it from my parents last month. Good to know it ‘clicks’ with people.
