Just fun...

Okay, I have been thinking about "FUN" all day. I have to take a photo of 'fun', and I'm having trouble.

This is how Dictionary dot com defines fun:

1. something that provides mirth or amusement: A picnic would be fun.

 

It has been a busy grey day - the temperature was above freezing by 7 C degrees or about 14 F degrees (making it around 46 F for those of you who are math challenged... [I had written 52 at first, so I was poking fun at myself more than at anyone reading this who is not accustomed to performing routine metric conversions - or who can not add 32 and 14 - which, evidently, includes me...]). I went out of the house for half an hour and then came home and did my three kilometers on the treadmill, and then carefully cut out twice as much fabric as I needed for my current project. And then I couldn't figure out why I had so many units... Better too many than too few! :-)

So, here's the question, What would fun be? Fun for me would be a day in which I had no unpleasant responsibilities. It would be fun to get together with my friends! It would be fun to go to the beach with my camera. It would be fun to go to a fabric store with an unlimited budget!! (Oooo, that would be SO FUN! I would invite my friends to go with me and when we were done FILLING my pickup with fabric, we could go for coffee!!!)

Doing the laundry is not fun. (It isn't a terrible chore either, because I don't actually have to take the clothes down to the river and bang them on rocks - which is good, as the water is likely quite chilly!)

It was fun to put together my third Big Star Block. After I am finished writing this, I will head downstairs, trim another one and then play with the layout of the quilt. THAT is FUN!!

This is an awfully dark picture of it, and it hasn't been sewn together yet - it is just on the design wall... When it is done it will be roughly 24 inches square... see why it is called the Big Star Block? And the quilt will have 4 of them!

It was fun to play Candy Crush (a terrible time waster, but I like it anyway) and actually complete a level!! I actually took a picture of that! :-)

It was fun to watch an episode of Big Bang Theory (we got a season for Christmas, and we are really enjoying them!) We have been invited out to play Euchre (a card game) tomorrow evening, and that will be fun - unfortunately, it is not today! LOL

Writing this is fun. I'm not sure why. But it is satisfying to get something down that is in my head!!! 

There are lots of things that I enjoy. I'm not sure that enjoyment is the same thing as fun. Is it fun to drink my coffee in the morning? It is FUN to share my enjoyment of coffee with my facebook friends - and to hunt up cool coffee memes to share! THAT is fun!

I hope you had fun reading this. This completes my week of daily blog posts and I've had fun writing them. I don't know whether I will write one a day, but I have fun writing them so I'm sure there will be more!!

Enjoy!!
