I'm sure it is no surprise to anyone that my favorite spot for stolen moments of relaxation is on my bed, in the cozy with a good book. It's kind of amazing how often I yearn to be there and how I always feel the same, wonderful exhale of relief when I sink down onto my bed, stretch out under my fabulously soft blanket (even in the summer), get situated just right among the pillows and then lose myself in my book. I adore the cool, darkened quiet of my bedroom for reading, it helps me regroup from the craziness of my days, have time alone even though the kids are playing loudly down the hall, and gives me peace of mind.
It often leads to a little bit of this, but I'm okay with that.

lovely missy...i don't know if i go yet...but i am thinking about it...
So many readers among the blogging community. I love sneaking in reading during the day.
Hope you had a great birthday.
nope- no surprise. but still cute to see your pix and fun to read about how you snuggle in to that cozy of yours!
Are you fake sleeping? I had to laugh. Your room is very cozy. I have a few too many cozy places in my house and am constantly fighting the urge to settle in...
Of course I'm fake sleeping, it's a self-portrait (and I conveniently covered my many chins). Ha.
I wish I MADE myself do that more often. I think it's very appropriate for you photo to be in your darkened room on the cozy!
i thought the same thing?? is she fake sleeping?? haha love it!
honestly i dont even know the last time i settled anywhere to read a book..lately its been quick US weekly magazines..how sad is that?!?!
i guess my "cozy" is right here on the laptop in the "quiet" home teaching room!
im doing "cozy" now! hehe
the fake sleeping cracked me up too.
It is no surprise to me. You in your cozy is so jill. I wish i could have more of those and yet Adam going to bed so early I am banished to the other room if I stay up late to read.
That's where I would have guessed. I love to fall asleep while reading.
i love the fake sleeping.
i am off to sleep myself but seem addicted to checking your blog for birthday updates.
i loved michelle's post on the two of you, it gave me chills.
Cute! I think to myself every night as I'm climbing into bed, "why don't I do this earlier?" because it feels so dang good...but, night after night, I stay up way too late, usually on the computer! HA! I just need to embrace my bed with a good read before so late! Hope you had a fabulous b-day!
Tonight blogging is my stolen moment, robbing me of sleep and a clean house, but worth it. Our SPT's have some similarity this week.
Oooh, you make me want to run to my bed right now.
Your cozy is oh so comfy!! I quite like my velet couch or my bouncy poang chair with ottoman, pretty much any place that I can put my feet up, I never end up on my bed because then I just sleep.
The second picture is great- I have though to do a fake sleeping one before as well.
Ooh! I like your cozy--sounds perfect. That's where I'd escape for sure. Lately I've been falling asleep too quickly when I read, so it's taking me forever to finish my book!
Okay, I totally WISH my kids would let me read while they played down the hall. That just does not happen here. I need to do something about that and am reminded of that evertime you have these fabulous posts about kids who let you nap and sleep in on occasion. Griffin wakes at 5:30 and I now see I "trained" him wrong, as he DEMANDS I am up with
him.
But anyway, I love how you always illustrate your point with photos! Your blog entries are fun to read no matter what the topic.
And when is this birthday gift post coming?! Jill, the suspense is killing me. What kind of things did you get to open? Your friends always create such amazing gifts for you. I want to see!!
Exactly what I wanted to do for this spt! (But my sheets were in the wash, then I got to cleaning and got all hot and sweaty, and the pictures never happened.) In the cozy, what could be better?
