The Day of Days

Today my husband told me I need to take the afternoon off. Knowing there wouldn't be any privacy at home, he shooed me out the door telling me to go spend some time in a quiet place. Is that awesome or what? I thought about going to Piano Pizza and sitting by their fireplace, but somehow I wasn't sure what people would say if I came in toting a laptop computer, a Bible, a journal, and the book The Jesus I Never Knew. I know that would have brought a lot of stares. Not being in the mood for Polish stares, I opted for the teacher's room at GTE (Gateway to English), knowing that there wouldn't be much activity at our English school in the early afternoon.

What bliss!!! Reading a whole chapter without interuptions...being able to think about whatever I want...not seeing the 101 things at home that haven't got done yet today...catching up on emailing and writer's workshops...I feel blessed and pampered today. (I must say, my husband seems to be winning all contests right now of "How to Treat Your Wife of Your Life.")

But, I know at the end of this afternoon, I will be ready to go home. After all, who likes your own company forever!!!

I'm impressed! Sounds like a lovely way to re-energize! Kudos to John! I was telling a friend about you two and the trip we took to DC almost 7 years ago! Remember those times?
Miss y'all!

I read that book a few years ago. I really liked it. That sounds like a delightful way to spend the afternoon.

Give me link to SEO software (promotion, advertisement, etc.). I'm need it to promote my new e-shop.
Thanks.
Yes, Lez, not long ago I saw the pictures from that trip. My, my, how young we all looked. :) That was a great trip as I remember. What are your memories? Would have liked to be a mouse in the corner to hear what you told your friends.
