Sloth-dom agrees with me. While off of work this week, I've read Edgar Sawtelle plus a few back issues of Newsweek, rented Precious and A Serious Man, went to see Alice, She'd out of my League, Green Zone, and Shutter Island. Not to mention every single episode of anything that was waiting for me on TV in the DVR.
A few years back, I had tendinitis and learned the hard way that if you don't let it heal up, it can go on for months. So, I stayed away from work all week and didn't pick up anything besides a remote control or a book. I'm surprised at how easy it was for me to get out of my work-a-holic habits and just relax. It might have had something to do with the pleurisy, that kind of made me feel run down and yucky too.
Since it was spring break for Sugarwings and her Daddy, I didn't get any fairy babysitting in, which was a good thing, since I couldn't really lift her with my old lady achiness going on. But I did get to spend a day with the two of them at Crown Center in Kansas City. There was a fairy tale village sponsored by Hallmark, and it was cute as can be. Sugarwings was in princess paradise.
The event is free and so well made! Plenty of interactive stuff too.
She got to pull Pinocchio's strings to make him dance. That was a nice change for her, usually its my strings that she pulls.
Yes, she has had a lot of practice tugging on my heart strings.
Thanks again for all of your messages and nice comments. I'm trying not to type much, so please don't think I'm rude for not responding. I've enjoyed reading them all.
And if you want to be entered to win the March giveaway of this rose quartz/china shard/vintage crystal pendant, please leave a comment. Although it sure doesn't feel like March. 8 inches of snow on the first official day of Spring???
I would love to have a couple of days to do nothing and relax and watch great movies. I’m glad you took advantage of the time to rest up. Those pics of Sugarwings at the fairy tale village are just darling! What fun she must have had!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Take lots of rest, we will be here when you are up to typing again.
I’m glad you’re resting up.
It’s hard for me to imagine your snow, when it’s about 72 degrees, here, in SoCal. I shopped for roses,(to plant)in shorts and a sleeveless blouse.

Great to hear that you are relaxing! I’ve seen Alice in 3D today, amazing, but somehow I expected even more. Love your photos of Sugarwings, as always, I love how she enjoys everything with every vibe in her body. People use to loose that along the way, hope she doesn’t. Take care and keep on mending!
8 inches…oh my word! Happy Spring??? hehehehe!
You just keep on taking it easy.We don’t want you to lose your blogging arm;-)
Hugs,
Suz
Perhaps we should all take a day or two off from our ‘normal’ routine just to re-vitalize.
Where, oh, where is Spring.
Hugs,
Gerry
i just read that it even snowed in texas…i guess i am lucky, no snow here for the first of spring…just a wee bit colder than during the week…it sounds like you had a fun time at fairy tale village, what a darling idea!!! rest up those fingers…i hope they are all better soon Karla!!!
Hi Karla: Hey don’t apologize for being sick, and slow !
We all have those days ! I’ve been down, for 3 days with my neck out of whack, acts up on me, every so often, and I just have to wait and let it heal. Sugar Wings, looks like she is having a glorious FUN time !
Get well.
Love,
Deborah M. Woodrow
Karla,
The latest I ever remembering it snowing in KC was April 1st back in 1970. But 8 inches is really a lot of snow. Hopefully it will melt quickly.
Love the pixs of Sugarwings! Any thing Hallmark does is always nice, and free, to boot. Such a deal!
Glad that you are feeling better. Keep up the good work. Plerisy is more painful that serious but it still isn’t much fun!
get well soon!!
Sandy
I LOVE THE PENDANT GIVEAWAY. VERY PRETTY!!!!
The pics of sweet Sugarwings are so magical! A perfect little princess indeed!
Sounds like a pleasant week- hope you are feeling better soon!
Dear Karla
I am glad you took the time to just relax and heal. I saw on the weather channel that Kansas had 8 more inches of snow. Chicago had some also. Not fair after a taste of warmer weather. Take care of yourself and I am still giddy over my book. I keep looking at them and really love them. I do want to get to see Alice but haven’t found anyone to go with yet. Hopefully I will.
Hugs

Even your “resting” sounds busy to me!
I must have passed from sloth-dom into toadstool-like……
Anyway.
Keep “resting”.
Hello Karla :)…I too am suffering from some sort of muscle failure in my hand…too much crafting I am supposing. I am nearing the point of exhaustion and will break down and make an appointment soon ~ just don’t want to hear that the hand should be resting to heal :)…’tis the curse of the internal artist I suppose.
Love the pictures of Sugarwings in her own wonderful “Wonderland”, how perfectly delightful 🙂
That China pendant is beautiful!
Take care of yourself and rest well:) ~ Bev
No, don’t type, you look after yourself and be sensible. Your post title made me laugh! I would love a lazy day or two, trouble is I can’t rest even if I have permission!
Gorgeous, gorgeous photos! I love them. Gorgeous Girl would love to visit such a place. Not today though. A nasty tumble at breakfast has left a nasty bruise on her head. I’m making a fuss of her and hoping we have no more dramas, my nerves can’t take anymore today! xx
I love the pendant you made Karla! It’s too bad your body is giving you grief. I hope you mend up soon. I’m glad sugarwings and her daddy got to have some fun together. What a great place! I wish we had a place like that here.
take care of yourself!
Oh, she looks like she is, INDEED, in Princess heaven!!! I am so glad you are giving yourself a genuine chance to recover! Not many of us do that and our bodies need it sometimes! I admire you for that!
Before reading, I looked at all of the pictures and I was just SURE, you had painted all of the murals! They look like your work! Cute pictures of the fairy grand baby!! Hope you are feeling better soon!
Karla, I am so sorry you have not been feeling your usual energetic self. Rest will revive you soon .Sugarwings is just so adorable and what a wonderful place for children. Take care of yourself.

I hope you are feeling better.
What a cute day that you got to spend with her!
I really want to visit the Hallmark center one of these days. I looks like Sugarwings is having such a good time! I’m so glad you’re resting your tendinitis. I’m wondering how you liked E. Sawatelle — I got through 3/4 of the book and then I gave up, unhappily.
Rest, rest, rest…
Your rose quartz pendant is gorgeous – please enter me for this March giveaway.
