Sunday silence: In which the bloggers take a day of rest
By Gina Spadafori
January 10, 2010
We’re sort of playing with the concept of time away from the keyboards now and then, barring something that needs to be written about. That day, collectively, is going to be Sunday, which we’re going to be mostly taking off for the near future at least.
Of course, it’s not really a day of rest: There’s other work, both the professional (other writing projects for me, for example) or the personal (the laundry, cooking, etc.) But we’re also trying to do some relaxing things: Cuddling the cats, walking the dogs or reading something unrelated to our work, much as we love that work.
Before I start my New Year’s resolution and turn off the social media machine for the day, I want to share the following example of why I have pets in my life, courtesy of the Land of PureGold blog:

Pets just make life better. Even in the snow. That tail never, ever stops wagging! And here’s what a cat would be doing, instead:

Gotta love it!

And one more (thanks Ohmidog) ….

See you tomorrow.

Like that headline, obviously. What a nice, nice horse.

Great videos!
I am wishing you a great peaceful, catch-up day,Gina, and wishing the same to the rest of the crew.

Ha, Glenye, leave it to you to get that. If I hit my goals, I will be celebrating with a Cosmo tonight. With Vodka, of course. And some sushi in honor of them both.
And Evelyn, thank you for your good wishes. Stay warm, everyone!

Gina is mostly, but not entirely accurate. The vast majority of my roundup posts are written the day before, so I’ll be the designated PetConnection working gnome later this afternoon, putting together tomorrow morning’s tasty morsels for our appreciative and eternally hungry crowd of loyal guests at the pet party that never ends.
First, though, there’s football to be watched. I do, after all, have priorities!

My first golden chased snowballs the first winter, but then she realized they weren’t worth the trouble.
However, if a tennis ball fell that deep in the snow, she’d be after it.
Snow balls— you can’t fetch those things.

Sweet videos. A good Sunday to you all!

Thanks for being on post David! I would try and do something productive, but I am nursing a hangover the size of a blue whale. Mucho too much vino.
Good luck with the laundry and the feline canoodling, Gina. Hope all is well with everybody.

I’ve often thought that you should be able to buy a relaxation CD in which instead of hearing ocean waves you hear a cat purring.
Quite an opportunity for some entrepreneur!
