Me time

I'm very glad that this marriage still allows me some "me time." Take tonight, for example. I've got the house to myself, so I stayed at work a little late (at least for a Friday -- 6:30 p.m.) and finished up a few things. Now I'm sitting on the couch with a bowl of ramen noodles, one of my favorite comfort foods. There's a glass of chardonnay from the bottle we opened a few nights ago sitting next to the ramen. I'm planning to watch two movies I've had around for ages but have never watched: Mean Creek and Muriel's Wedding. Even better, I'm watching the movies with my laptop in front of me, something I try not to do when Matt's around. So I'm finally going to write back to all of my emails that have been sitting in my inbox forever. I'm also going to turn my notes from my board meeting on Wednesday night into minutes.

In short, it's going to be a productive but relaxing evening. Hope you're having the same kind of evening out there!
