BEST DAY EVER – I WONDER AS I WANDER!
My son gave me a Valentine’s Day certificate for a day to do anything I want! I carefully considered my plan, sorting events into two days – with or without kids. This reflects Part I of “My Day” (I go by hours, not calendar date).
Picked up before cleaners: The early morning wake up, to chase down my kids’ toys running rampant throughout the house, was worth it when I left for my day of endless opportunities while someone else vacuumed behind my couch.
Grabbed coffee at 7-11: For someone who loves ordering the longest-named drink at Fivebucks, six pots of 7-11 flavored coffees, plus a lazy susan of creamers, thrills me. I’ve had blueberry+cinnamon+vanilla coffee with caramel creamer. Today I had butter toffee+hazelnut with chocolate. BONUS: It’s cheaper, faster and less bitter!
Trip to library: I located books from my wish list, strolled through new non-fiction – choosing a few about writers, then drooled over a cookbook Bacon! – a global collection of mouth-watering recipes that happened to use bacon, not just “slap bacon on anything and call it an improvement.”
Napped: Rerouted my plans to home realizing I told the cleaners to not worry about locking the door when leaving. In our neighborhood, nobody’s going to walk in – EXCEPT a sign on my lawn says “For Rent – Apartment Open!” Later, while snoozing on my couch, someone walked smack into my locked door, then knocked asking to see the apartment.
Dinner with TNTers: For me to enjoy a meal with amazing people without thinking about marketing plans, the next event or volunteer roles to recruit them for, was a treat! I really enjoyed listening to everyone’s stories …and got recruited for a Zombie Run.
Wine: I love red wine with a tiny square of chocolate. I picked out two richer wines than usual thanks to a 30% off coupon. I did a social media Cheers! asking my Facebook friends to choose which wine to open first, and was invited to an online wine group.
I’m hoping Malbec goes well with shiny vampires – I still never made it past the bonus features. While watching I will find a new recipe to try – wanna bet it’ll involve bacon?!
What a nice day! I came up with the great idea of bacon-scented perfume, but friends and family aren’t sharing my enthusiasm. I think it’s gold; Want a guy to like you? Smell like bacon! I like 7-11 coffee too; no lines and half price. I hope part II goes as well for you!
I like it! I swear I’ve seen bacon lip gloss too! Getting a late start to Part II but desperately holding on to the BDE vibe Thanks for wandering by!!
