It is not to say that I do not typically lead a leisurely life, relatively speaking, but today was a serious day of leisure. Leisurely waking up on Pacific time, strolling to the gym and following up my leisurely workout with a few glorious hours poolside with an original Tequila Sunrise (and maybe a few other alcohol drinks). There was also leisurely afternoon window shopping with misters and fans constantly blown in my general direction. Tonight I will be working and tomorrow morning, we'll be going on a kayaking excursion. But right now, I'm enjoying catching up on everyone's blogs and contemplating what a gentlewoman of leisure does. Here it goes...
I suppose after a late breakfast, a short stroll through the park, such a gentlewoman would wander down to her club and play some pool or bridge. Then she would take a late show or opera and attend the after party with the cast members until the wee hours of the morning. Do I ever belong in a late 1800's England novel or what? Oh and there should be a delicious murder and the gentlewoman will then turn into a detective and puzzle it out. See, I don't think I'm made for a life of leisure.
Haha, I love the little story at the end of your post. Very Agatha Christie meets Downton Abbey meets the Real Housewives! Though there's nothing very gentlewomanly about any of the ladies on that latter show. Your day sounds so relaxing!
ReplyDeleteLeisurely life sounds great but kayaking too! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOhh, that sounds like such a leisurely day ;) Kayaking? Oh my! Be careful! lol
ReplyDeleteLOLZ...even a gentlewoman needs a mystery or two to solve:P BTW, now I want a Tequila Sunrise!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be a gentlewoman of leisure. Seriously. In Kenya. Just because I love Kenya ^^

ReplyDeleteSounds like such a good day to me! I'm really craving a good ol' summer day like that! I'm in dire need of one... that's for sure. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just can't get jazzed about AZ, but then again it's always been summer and 115 out when I've visited
ReplyDeleteWhatever that drink is with the lime in it... I want one!
