Fun Monday - Relaxin'
Deb had a very simple request for this week's Fun Monday theme: "Show your favorite place to relax. It can be a chair, corner, ledge, or limb. :)".
Well, seeing as I just returned from a WEEK of relaxation at my favorite place in the universe, I have a few pictures ready to share; had I known the theme BEFORE I left, I would've taken them a bit differently, but these will do just fine.
Because it's well established that I love the beach, I probably don't need to say it again. But I don't mind sayin' it again, because, well, it's also established I'm rather (ahem) talkative, and although that doesn't necessarily mean redundant, well, sayin' that I love the beach is one of the "excused absences" for redundancy :).
Time to let the pictures speak...gosh, I hear them loudly :).
My FAVORITE spot for chillin'...
...in part because of the next two views, depending on which way I'm facing. It's a wonder I got through 2 1/2 books with these naturally spectacular distractions:
Of course, there are other wonderful spots to relax...this is where I'd read in the mornings while Tad was getting a cup of coffee and reading the paper here. It's also where I was when my new BFF, Becky invited me to go alligator tipping with her. In our pajamas. With unbrushed teeth.
Now that we're home, I figured I'd snap a few of my favorite spots for chillin' here...
This is in our playroom and it's a great spot for watching movies... 
And this last shot is in our room...this loveseat has been a GREAT addition. It's one of Tad's favorite spots to watch TV...and one of my favorite blogging spots (especially when I need to hide from the workers who've recently taken over my house the last few months...except some of those times were them renovating our bathroom, so I didn't hide out here, then. Huh?)
Please be sure to visit Deb's Melon Patch for links to everybody else's chillin' spots, but before you go pretty please with brown-sugar-tiramisu-chocolate-cake-with-chocolate-icing- creme-brulee
-and-what-ever-else-tickles-your-sweet-tooth, pop over here and vote for yours truly and a few other Fun Monday players for Kailani's 2007 Bloggy Hoss Awards :) (and a thousand "thank yous" to those of you who already have!).

I am not sure that an alligator-infested paradise is the place for me to relax especially if the alligators practice bad dental hygiene.
I am kidding Robin your relaxation spots are grand. I especially like the striped chair/loveseat in the last picture.

jealous, jealous, jealous!!
We finally filled up the wading pool and blew up the inflatable lizard. I sat in a crummy lawn chair and dangled my feet.
Just didn't seem as nice as your wonderful relazation spot(s).

I like ALL your relaxing spots! But the beach is the best...

I'm a beach lover too but can't get there often enough. You have some good relaxing zones and I have already voted for you !!

Did you know you can bring the beach home with you? The last time we went, we dumped our suitcases and I truly believe we brought home half of the beach.
Have I mentioned that I keep trying to sneak another vote in, but I always get caught.

Molly, don't knock 'em til you've tried 'em ;).
Min, I haven't read the Mamas, but you really need a picture of that if it's true :).
Tiggerlane, I couldn't agree more :).
Thanks, Chris...Really...truly, I would live there if I could **s i g h**.

I got so caught up in your blog that I passed right by this comment section by about 8 or 9 pages. Comfy spots you have there and tip-toeing around a golf course hunting alligators has to be a great vacation story.

Great spots. This really has been a good topic - everyones posts were so interesting. I'm not sure that tipping alligators sounds very relaxing to me though?

I love the big round ottoman, and the oversized chair.
BTW, that bumper sticker you left at my place is brilliant!! It's going to be my new tag-line

beach....drool.
I wish I could say our upcoming vacation is going to be relaxing - but I think I'm going to be exhausted when we come home.

I love your playroom couch. That's the sort of thing we need for our family room. The old floral sofa looks hideous in that room and it is none too comfortable. I like the color on the wall in that room (yours), too.

Oh my! I really like that love seat!

Wonderful playroom! I love it! It's a little different from ours, LOL. Where are all the trucks and dinosaurs?

I wish I was relaxing on that beach.
Posted by: beccy | July 10, 2007 at 04:47 AM
Another great post! :) I wish I lived closer to a beach. Looks very relaxing! LOL Love your toe pic too.
Posted by: Debbie | July 10, 2007 at 09:06 AM
Man, I'd love to be on the beach right about now.
(can I nap on your couch please?)
