My day off!

My first day off of my long weekend! I slept in this morning, spent a little time with the children (bow wow), and then headed out for an afternoon alone. I shopped at a new shopping center that I really had not had the chance to spend a lot of time there before. What fun! I didn't see it all, but did find a few great bargains. Two new pairs of jeans and a new blouse!
Okay, this is huge for me.... I then went to a "sit down" restaurant, ALONE, and had lunch. I was craving a good cup of coffee and knew that Cracker Barrel wouldn't let me down. I have never dined in before by myself and had always wondered about other lone diners, when I would see them sitting alone. I had always thought it might be a little awkward. It was great! My waitress was super nice and it was fun to have "thinking" time while eating.
After a couple more stops for shopping, mostly browsing, I stopped by the grocery store before heading home. Thankfully, I have my grocery shopping done, and tomorrow can be an "almost" stay at home day for me. I do have to run one of the dogs to the vet tomorrow. He seems to be having anxiety issues since my daughter moved out about a month ago. I wonder if they make doggie prozac?

  1. I don't know about doggie prozac, but Meggie knows a dog whisperer. Her Leo is behaving much better.

    Glad you got to have some time for you today and you actually found some things you could use. Love ya!

  2. I much prefer to go shopping right by myself, but don't get to very often, except on my lunch hour and then in too big a hurry to enjoy it! Sounds like a perfect afternoon to me.Good luck with the doggie problem!

  3. That is so funny about the doggie prozac! Sometimes I think our dog needs some too! Since the baby came is very mopey!

  4. Sounds like you had an ejoyable day-off and you deserve it! Isn't it funny that we feel awkward about dining alone? I do too - but I have. When I used to travel a lot for my job - I'd usually just grab some fast food and eat it in my room. Once in a while I'd "brave" eating alone - lunch is easier than dinner I think. SOmetimes I'd not find a fast food place and have to get stuff from the vending machines in the hotel. Pittiful, huh? (and not in a good way!)
    Have a fun afternoon :-)
