What I'm Up To
I'm In the middle of my Midsummer Pajama Daze.
I'm watchin' a buncha movies, eating well, knitting a bit, and not talkin' much. Just don't feel like it.
This is my kind of summer vacation.
Correction: Pajama DAZE
Midsummer Pajama Day is shaping up to be a two-day event. It looks like I'll be at home alone on July 4th and I plan to take full advantage of the long weekend, spending July 4th and 5th in my pajamas. I really need to stay home, organize my thoughts (and my life) and all that good stuff. Hell, if I'm lucky, I may even be able to never leave the house all weekend. That would be grand.
Join me for Midsummer Pajama Daze July 4 &5 (& maybe 6).
Midsummer Pajama Day
OK, I know technically it's not exactly the middle of summer. That's not until August something. But I am ready NOW! Let's celebrate fire season in California by staying inside (we are advised to do so) and relaxing in our summer pajamas. Hell, I may even make it a pajama weekend. Won't you join me?
INTERNATIONAL PAJAMA DAY, Saturday, July 5, 2008
WEAR PAJAMAS ALL DAY
You deserve it. I know I do.
The Night Before
It's the night before Super International Pajama Day.
I'm at home alone.
Errands all run. No more need to go roam.
The socks are all hung up to dry by the vent.
My spouse and the Boyo done both gone and went.
The mountain of laundry has almost been done.
A pile of pajamas all ready for fun.
The bath has been drawn, it's a beautiful sight.
It's even much better with candles at night.
The weather cooperates - chilly and wet
And this is about as good as it gets.
"Won't you join me?" I say as I slip off to bed.
"You deserve to take time off, relax, clear your head."
Send a photo to share your pajamas with us.
If you can't please don't worry, we won't make a fuss.
For I know you're with me as I drift off to sleep.
In your heart I know you SIP Day will keep.
Be Prepared
Ladies and Gents, the countdown to Super International Pajama Day has begun!
Countdown Tips from last year are here.
Suggestions for what do do in your pajamas are here, here, and here.
Remember, true relaxation takes careful planning. Make sure your family has plenty of notice. Mine will be out of town, thankyouverymuch. And after this last weekend's disaster. I really, really need a Super IPD.
And, please, remember to send me a pajama photo. The Pajama Gallery needs updating.
Won't you join me and spread the word?

Chris asked me to, so I updated the button.
And here it is BIG:
Mark Your Calendar
Faster than a trip to the chiropractor, more relaxing than a spa, able to calm even the most wound-up person. Look! On the calendar! Is it a party? Is it a date? NO! It's Super International Pajama Day!
You gotta plan for it baby! After the grueling holiday season. The boys will be busy with the football game. Mr. Celia will be out of town. I plan to stay home and relax. Wear pajamas. Do what I want to do. And I hope you will join me.
Mark your calendar today, and stay tuned for tips on how to prepare yourself.

Wear pajamas all day.
Isn't It Time?
For another Pajama Day? The last one was...back in November. I am really dying to stay in all day. But...I've been invited to knit with friends. Hard invitation to turn down. So I'm going...in my pajamas. It's going to be a rainy and blustery weekend in the Bay Area. Perfect for a Pajama Day. How will you spend it?
Join me!

All day
Put your feet up, relax, knit a little, enjoy yourself. You know you deserve it!
GO!
I was in my pajamas by the end of last night's wet and disappointing football game, having spent most of Saturday laying in provisions and preparing for a quiet day at home today. How long will I stay this way? Only time will tell, but I have Monday off. Can I extend the holiday weekend into a 50+ hour Pajama Marathon?
For me, the point of a pajama day is simply to stay at home and do whatever I want. I don't know about you, but I have to schedule days like this, and the easiest way to enforce the stay-at-home rule is to stay in my pajamas.
On the possible to-do list (in no particular order):
Finish Tilted Duster
Hang Lace Valances
Organize Desk
Work on ISE5 Scarf
Work on Citrine Socklets
Make bread
Laundry
Watch Little Children and Sylvia
Hang out with the Girlie
Make Dinner
Catch up on Heroes and 30 Rock
Take a Nap
But the point is no stress. Relax, baby. Put your feet up. Take a moment (or the whole day!) for yourself.
And you know you want to.
Send pajama photos. There will be a prize. Contest closes midnight PST November 12.
Get Ready
The requisite garments are hung up to dry.
and I am off to run errands.
How are you preparing?
