Sometimes you just wanna stay home
I have a LOT of fun going out on Fridays with the neighborhood gang, I really truly do.
Tonight though I decided to stay home. After all, I have wine and jazz here too... just not the great food. Nearly 7:00 p.m. and I still have NO clue what to have for dinner. As I am sick of doing dishes in my quest to eat better (as in: fewer processed foods which means cooking everything) I will most likely say "screw it" and either go pick up a pizza (they don't take plastic at the door) or put something by Lean Cuisine in the microwave... or popcorn. Sometimes I just have to have a popcorn evening.
As I had a floating holiday today I spent 90% of my time in the yard (cleaning the flower bed along the entire front of the house and hanging out laundry to dry - always smells so good). The other 10% was having the car looked at for its recall issue (window switch) and getting groceries - today at the store was bad enough, tomorrow will be insane. Besides I have to bake a pie tomorrow and sing at church tomorrow night and am tired of feeling rushed all the time.
So I decided to stay home and keep tonight for myself. I expected a rash of text messages but the phone has been quiet (hmmm, battery dead maybe? sound off? should probably check). Of course I just saw everyone on Wednesday so I am not going through friend-withdrawal thank goodness. I was going through Diet Coke withdrawal prior to getting to the store but that's a whole other story. And not a pretty one.
So I got some yard work done. Sad thing is there are still four actual flower beds to go, a vegetable bed to raise up a level and the entire length of the back fence. Plus I realized moments ago that I missed one of the sedum in my trimming ritual. Rather amusing as it is smack dab in the middle of the front of the house and I got the ones on either side of it. Probably happened while I was contemplating painting the trim on the porch and which shade of blue to use. No doubt I will have to correct that before I go to bed tonight or it will drive me nuts.
But tonight I just needed to stay home. I needed quiet. And a good book (need to finish before book club!). I will try to ignore the laundry that now needs to be put away and the pile of ironing that keeps getting taller. And as I said I do have my own wine and jazz collection. I know I am missing some really great food but....
