And I don't nap....yet.....I do take breaks though and I sit and knit a row or 2. When I used to smoke I would "take a break" and have a cig...I replaced it with knitting...sometimes I still want a cig though. I could work forever back in those days and just have a cig break once in awhile.....those were the days....sun tea, cigs, not even stopping for meals.....with cigarettes you could go without eating, sleeping and I got so much more done back then! Oh well.....I guess that's why they call them "the good old days".

But I guess I have it all wrong. Now that I've read your post today, I think I get it... Why do all the cleaning in the beautiful springtime, when you can enjoy the outdoors again? Do all that cleaning in the winter, when it's too miserable (well, relatively speaking) to be outside, anyhow. You have got that right!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-80272588050378483982015-02-17T17:56:22.165-06:002015-02-17T17:56:22.165-06:00When you get colder we get warmer here in Anchorag...When you get colder we get warmer here in Anchorage Alaska.

I read your post just before lunch and when I read about you taking a nap, I wanted to be at home under a quilt instead of meetings all day at work. ;-) But you made up for the laugh I got when I read your version of the name of our state. I have never heard that before. Pretty accurate, though!

(its also time for a new one) I am so dreading doing the deep cleaning of the house. I really need to do it though. We have been thinking of getting a contractor in and seeing how we can change the rooms around and just redo the whole house.
