It is weekend. Even better, it is weekend with my husband and the cats and no obligations. We can cook and drink and attack an organization project…do we sense a theme here, each weekend has on its agenda an organization project…I am a pile person and the piles are now ripe for sorting and filing. We have taken care of the pile of photos and have made a good start on piles of paperwork…still waiting are too many projects to name.
I was finally tagged one too many times on Facebook with the 25 Things that is currently making the rounds. I surprised myself and completed it. It is always really amazing to me how I answer that kind of question. Now I am just waiting for others to fall prey to that “one too many times” and share a window into their subconscious.
I sometimes wish I were a better “real time” friend. I am the best kind of friend to have as long as you have email. I am supportive and there via email and even by phone (if I must). But I am an unsociable hermit by nature. I value my alone time; even more important to me is my time with my family, particularly with my husband. That makes me a not very good “real” friend. And the older I get, the more inclined I am to let myself be me.
One of the perks of growing older, I think, is to realize that you can and should take care of yourself first. Your weekend sounds wonderful – I am envious!
I too was tagged one too many times on the 25 things on Facebook. I used a lot of things from my “100 Things” on my blog, which is actually not complete, but came up with a few new ones too, which means I have to add to my 100 Things! It has been very interesting to read what others put on that list.
