Dresses & Chores

Last night Husband I attended a graduation party for a dear friend of ours and we noticed something kind of strange as we were leaving the event around 10:00. Husband and I have been invited to multiple events where we were either the only or close-to only non-family members there. I find it extremely flattering and it means quite a bit to us that we were considered when inviting people, but my weird little mind would love to know why someday. It'd be amazing to know why people think we're good friends so I can continuously try to be that supportive person for other people as I go through life.

Long story and philosophical pieces aside, though, last night was really fun, but we stopped by Frie's house after we came back from Downtown and I ended up crashing out while Husband and his BFF played with new electronics until three o'clock in the morning. The resulting situation: Husband and I didn't wake up until around eleven this morning. I was zonked, so when Hubby decided that he wanted to go spend the rest of the day with his parents out at the beach, I politely bowed out. I needed time to decompress, get ready for our trip some more, and do laundry.

The funny part of it all, at least to me, is that I think my productive day oxymoronically changed into a lazy-productive day. Yes, I have cooked and cleaned house and done five loads of laundry and got groceries and packed a bit more for our trip and refilled the hummingbird feeder and color coded all of my hanging items in the closet, but I've also contently sat down and fiddle farted around. I've sat down in my favorite pajamas and researched how to bring food into the secure area of the airport and  watched two episodes of Call the Midwife and played Bloons TD 5 and sipped my way through two Diet Cokes. It's been a much better day than I anticipated and I am so glad that I decided to stay home. I still have a load of laundry that I need to fold and put away, but in reality that isn't very much.

Now whether or not tomorrow will be similar to today is yet to be seen. My grandmother expectantly came down to stay with my parents this afternoon and I would really like to go see her. The last time I saw her was at our wedding and truth be told, she is one of my favorite people in the world. It's just a matter of what Husband has planned for us tomorrow. If anything conflicts then we'll have to figure it out, but for now my intention is to go hang out with the family and catch up, maybe ride the horses with my mom later in the evening. For now, it's back to researching for our trip and cruising through Netflix to find something to watch.
