Alright, so for those of you who already knew that I did this, you know I’m about a week late in getting it up. Sue me, I have been one busy lady!
So, last Tuesday after coming back from a long weekend in NY and having a horrible day at work on Tuesday, I had to sit through class and a frustrating Board meeting and when I got out at 8:15 I had simply had enough! I needed some me time.
I went home, got changed, grabbed my book and headed to the Arboretum to figure out what I wanted to eat.
I ended up at Chili’s (for those of you who have never been to the Chili’s at the Arboretum it has a gorgeous back patio area on the water that’s simply tranquil) book in hand and ready to relax. I ordered myself a glass of wine and decided to be completely unhealthy by getting the appetizer sampler as my meal consisting of boneless buffalo wings, spinach & artichoke dip, and potato skins. Like I said, completely unhealthy.
I sat there reading my book in the back of the restaurant enjoying the view of the water and got completely lost in myself. There was no checking my phone every five minutes to see who had texted me. I didn’t care. I was on an amazing first date. I was laughing at myself out loud based on my reactions to what I was reading in my novel, people watching a bit, and just enjoying my own company.
After that I headed home to enjoy a nice relaxing bubble bath. This time I brought my laptop in but it was only to enjoy the next episode of Instant Star. There was still no chatting with anybody. It was so relaxing and definitely what I needed.
Anyway, I’m swamped through the end of May but I have several plans next month to get out and do stuff by myself.
Hope you all have a great week.
