I am the opposite of a homebody.

Unless I have guests, I will happily spend as few waking hours in my house as is feasible. Which is why it was weird yesterday when I woke up and all I wanted to do was stay at home. So I did.


I ventured out for breakfast with my dad, but since I went less than two blocks from my house, I would say that doesn't really count.


I folded a lot of laundry. (I even broke out the iron!)



I couldn't stop thinking about oatmeal, so I had some for lunch. On the weekends I cook it in milk instead of water, and I put as much brown sugar on top as I want. It was perfect.


I finally put up the Abigail! letters that I bought in an antique shop right when I moved back to Boston. They lived above my windows in the last apartment, and I hadn't found the right spot for them in this one. Right by my bed is perfect.


I ended the night with Wives and Daughters, tea, and a chocolate snack.

It was the perfect homebody Sunday.

Happy Monday, friends!

p.s. I have done a terrible job getting caught up on birthday posts. Expect some more, especially one for a friend who has a birthday today!

    i love wives and daughters,
    did you know that the author died before completing the book, yes i discovered that when i was reading it....really she died just before the end when it was getting very exciting....will they? wont they? i turned the page and there is an editors note saying at this point the author died....ugh.... but i think that they do a really good ending in the tv adaptation...

    Sounds like a perfect Sunday! I just queued up Wives and Daughters on my Netflix to watch this week, can't wait. Except I will soon run out of period pieces in the streaming section and then there will be a problem, I won't know what to do with myself.

    Hey I'm not a homebody either!! I have cabin fever from pretty much the moment I walk in the door...with the only exception being if I'm trying to wake up in the morning...then the last thing I want to do is leave my bed!
