On the day after Christmas, I

Slept until 8:40 a.m. and noticed when I got up that it was so dark and dim outside that the streetlights were still on, so it's no surprise I

Stayed in my bathrobe until 3 p.m., when I changed into grey sweats to match the day, and

Realized I'd forgotten to brush my teeth in the morning, but oh well, I'm only

Doing one load of laundry, and

Answering all the e-mails backed up in my inbox, and

Doing an online interview with a scrapbooking magazine in Australia for an article on scrapbooking in Belgium, which seems like a weird topic to me but being part of the article makes me feel I'm a more advanced scrapbooker than I really am and it got me in the mood for

Starting to put 18 months worth of photos in albums, which had me

Marveling over how much my kids have grown up in the two years we've been here in Europe, and

Wondering how we'll fit back into our old life in America, and

Debating whether we'd be better off staying in Belgium, which is too big and complex a decision to consider on a holiday, so I

Decided to mindlessly browse scrapbooking and stamping sites, and

Visit new blogs, and

Download Christmas photos from the camera, and

Pick up some of the Christmas clutter lingering in the living room, and

Have yet another cup of tea,

Go through my magazine rack, and

Post an entry on my blog about all the nothing I did today.

Look, I don't call one load of laundry and picking up litter doing nothing! Let's give a little credit here.

Yes, but ahhh, the sweet nothings. We're blessed to have this luxury, don't you think? :) I know I am.

Doing the same. My girls made me a photo album of the two of them. My best present...4:01pm in Denver..and I'm not moving....the girls asked about going to the mall..I growled, and they shut my door!

You know, a day of not much is good for you. I sorta had one of those days yesterday too. Take no shame in accomplishing little.
