Feliz Navidad

Today is Friday but here it's kind of like Saturday for y'all. Everything is closed and no one goes to work. So on Fridays I make it my personal goal to do absolutely nothing. And when I say nothing I mean to not get dressed appropriately and go outside, to stay in my apartment and watch movies or read or do whatever I want but basically to do absolutely nothing productive.

So this morning the weather was cool (about 90) and there was a nice breeze so I figured I'd go lay out on the balcony and read. I dragged the exercise mat out, sunscreened up, and literally laid out on my balcony for an hour or so. I cranked up the satellite radio country music for the neighborhood to hear and pretended that I was laying on the beach in Zanzibar or somewhere else equally amazing.

It wasn't such a stretch to pretend about the beach...I'm not joking when I say I live in a Sandbox, there is actually sand everywhere so the balcony was pretty dirty, hence the exercise mat being put to good use!!

Then Feliz Navidad came on the radio!!! Those Arab guys who run the satellite radio out of Dubai...they really know what makes good Christmas music. I did a little research and saw that today it's supposed to be 83 in the Big D. So really this morning it was just like I was right at home...warm weather, lots of sun and Feliz Navidad on the radio every 5 minutes. You might get a cold front every once in a while, but it always warms back up. For those of you who haven't experienced it, that pretty much sums up Christmas in my part of TX.
