Free-time

Yesterday afternoon, when I returned home from work the evening seemed to stretch out in front of me. My kiddos were at my moms house, grad school is finished and Carl and I were having a relatively easy dinner. I could do anything I wanted! It would be just like the time after Carl and I were married...post- Scranton, pre- UE that is. We would leisurly eat dinner, chat, relax and drink a glass of wine while watching our favorite prime-time shows.

Well, it all started out that way. After we had finished dinner, Carl suggested that I take a bath. Sounds great! I just received a bunch of books that I had ordered from Barnes and Noble (5 books for 25 bucks...can't beat that!) and as always, I was anxious to get started on my newest literary finds. I chose the shortest book, "Austenland" (which is very much chic-lit) to read in my bubble bath since I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of this months book club book. A few hours later, I was climbing into bed, still reading. I had read my entire evening away, and I loved every second of it! I finished the book, it was a great quick read. Man, am I ever getting old and boring....
