A Friday night to myself.
Roger went on a hunting trip over the weekend
so the boys and I stayed with my parents.
Many of you know that I
normally spend Friday night
curled up on the couch on a date with my hubby.
After the kids were nestled in bed
at my parents house,
I stole the evening to get a little "me time".
I plopped down on my dad's
big ol' leather recliner,
kicked out the footrest,
stretched out and worked
on the New York Magazine crossword puzzle.
My dad's best friend was
once a professional baker
and he was kind enough to drop off
a homemade apple pie.
I heated up a slice with ice cream
and brewed a cup of coffee.
Then, I took bites and sips
between working on the crossword puzzle.
Total indulgence!
Since we don't have cable at my home (gasp!)
it was a super duper special treat
to stay up late and watch
House Hunters International on HGTV.
I love to see all the exotic homes
in far away places.
It's the simple things in life
that make me the happiest.
Like a rare evening spent
all alone
doing whatever
I please.

Sounds like my kind of night!
A night alone?? Wait ..what??Ok first of all I am scared of you if you can do those crosswords. My mom used to sit at the table every morning and work the ones in the paper. She even has a Crossword puzzle dictionary.
Sounds heavenly.
Sounds so lovely! :)
Sounds fantastic, love the top picture!
Love the angle of the first one!
You can't go wrong with apple pie. Even if your honey isn't around.
Ahhh, alone time ROCKS!!!!
I love that show too! Especially when they feature homes in Italy. :)
Sounds like a great evening to me. Glad you enjoyed it.
How relaxing for you Leigh! I love watching that show too- :)
That sounds quite wonderful.
I like that kind of night from time to time too. :)
Sounds like an excellent date with yourself!
=)
Awwwwh what a perfect night!! Happy tuesday!
The date nights always sound incredible, but wow! You even finished the puzzle!!
happy moments ♥
Me time is a good thing.
House Hunter International is my favorite house-buying show on hgtv.
Crossword puzzles are awesome! My husband and I like to buy those big books and race to see who can finish first. We are all competitive like that.
Love that first shot. Nice to have a night alone.
I feel relaxed just reading this wonderful "Week 38 of Happiness"! Always also feel inspired to notice blessings in every day things. Thanks.
We don't have cable either! As a result, PBSkids and I get along fairly well :) Glad you got a nice break at your parents! Have a great weekend :)
