Jun. 13th, 2006 06:51 pmi am rejuvenated!!!!!
work was pretty busy today, but darnit, i was determined to leave at 2:00. i definitely had to catch up on housey stuff, but i wanted to allow myself some "me time" as well, for all the personal time i'd lost in the last week or so. i ran my house errands and made my phone calls, and then what to do? i was strongly considering driving into the city and sitting in an outdoor cafe with a book... then i thought i'd go for a walk in the park... or sit by the pool? go shopping at the mall? hrm. then it hit me... and i ran home, booted up the computer, and looked: the davinci code was starting in 15 minutes at the theater down the street. PERFECT!
that was the best 2 and 1/2 hours i've spent in a long time. not that the movie was brilliant (although i thought it was really fun, i don't know why everybody's been bashing it)... but i haven't been to a movie in months... and to sit in that darkened theater with only 3 other people at 3:30 in the afternoon on a weekday, still in my skirt and heels from work, with a big bag of popcorn and a soda i could swim in, was so gloriously indulgent to me that i had to sit there and bask in it. *bask, bask* <--- that was me. i left that theater at 6pm grinning from ear to ear... and i swear, i have more energy than i did when i walked in. in fact, i'm so fired up, i don't want to stay in the apartment... perhaps i'll walk around the mall after all?...
yaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!
