Teenager Weekend
My husband and daughters left for California on Thursday to visit their Uncle that lives in Frenso. I couldn’t go with him and the kids… I’m just too busy with the business. 5 Days all to myself!! I make my list of things I would like to get done and secretly and quietly look forward to the quiet time. My number one priority is some serious girl time. So, the first night I head over to my friend’s house and to watch an Amy Winehouse biography. I love Amy and feel that she is a serious talent (when she is sober) that cannot be matched by any current musician. My friends and I drink wine, eat chips and talk about Amy. The next night, it’s my turn. I have 2 friends over to my house for goodies and movies. One of my friends has just gone back to work after taking almost 9 years off to be home with her daughter. My other friend has taken the summer off from her teaching job and is back in full force. We are all in need of a little fun. So, we make our plans and everyone is given a responsibility; I am in charge of renting the movies. I spend at least 45 minutes looking for the perfect movie. I rented Dirty Dancing, Sixteen Candles, and The Outsiders (they didn’t have Purple Rain…can you believe that!) Our dinner consisted of 5 types of sweets, chips, and some stuffed mushroom caps. We spend the evening talking and laughing about these great 80’s movies. I almost feel silly writing this blog. There are thousands of other things I could have done, like sort out clothing, gardening, cleaning. But I knew that it would be a long time before I had this type of time to myself again. It’s funny - as a teenager that would have been a very normal and average, almost boring, weekend. Some 20 years later, it feels pretty special.
