Cara’s response was:

The best kind of day is one where I am more or less in control of what happens. Today is a typically good day. I went to the gym and finished reading the book I’m on, volunteered at my son’s high school, caught up on news with friends, came home, ate lunch, worked a crossword, checked in on Facebook, did a couple blog posts, answered emails, took care of a few things, hung out in the sun with my grandpuppy, texted my daughter, and did the lunch dishes, and it’s only 2 p.m. Later I will submit something I wrote yesterday to a contest, check my calls for submissions to see if anything else is due soon, update my publications page, take puppy for a walk, maybe do a spot of gardening, eat dinner, do the dishes, and then decide between watching a movie with my hubby, starting a new book, hanging out online, or some combination thereof.

Beth’s  response was:

I would wake up to the sound of my husband making breakfast for our daughter, and the sound of the percolator churning a strong pot of coffee. After going out for a quick run on the beach, I’d sit outside with my husband and daughter (because it would be sunny and warm), and sip coffee and a seltzer water, while reading the newspaper. Once we got dressed we’d head out for a lazy brunch at the golf course restaurant, and afterward go out for a bike ride. Then my husband and daughter would nap, and I’d go shopping with my mom and sisters, and buy shoes, purses and coats for summer.  We’d probably also stop for a pedicure and an ice cream cone. When I return home, we’d have a make your own pizza party and have a picnic dinner. After reading our favorite good night books, my daughter would go to bed (and stay there). Then my husband and I could have a glass of wine and relax on the porch in the warmth of the evening.

Congratulations, Cara and Beth!!!
