a little hello
August 12, 2008I am sitting on our new comfy chair in the corner of the living room, doing some research for a few design projects. Rama is napping on the sofa beside me. I’m tempted to take a nap, too. I’ve developed a habit for afternoon naps while nursing a cold this past week, and I’m wondering if this is one habit I need to break. Other cultures have siestas. Why can’t I?
Rama starts a new teaching job next week, and so ends our summer vacation. We’ve had a good one–a great one, filled with cross-country family visits, trips to the beach and the pool, frisbees and kites, summer fruits and BBQs and many a blockbuster film.
I’ll be especially sad to say goodbye to our mid-week lunches and afternoon dates, which have made me feel like a teenager again.
But just as I did when I was a kid, I feel a bit of excitement along with the back-to-school dread. I know that there are many adventures to be had this fall, and I’m looking forward to each and every one.
For now, maybe a tiny nap?
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
I hope you did take a nap. It’s funny how something so simple and short can be so rejuvenating and satisfying!
I wish I was going back to school. I love this time of year!
