I've always been the kind of person who needs to be alone. Even if it's just an hour a week where I'm doing nothing but wandering bookstores by myself or seeing a movie, I need that time. When I work on the weekends, I get a day off the following week, usually a Friday, giving me a three day weekend. I depend on this Friday to supply me with some of that coveted alone time. Today was one of those Fridays and I was looking forward to spending it all by myself -- I was thinking, "
Yay! I get extended time by myself!" I should have known better. The girl child ended up staying home with me today and the boy called me and said, "I need to go here and after that I need to go there." So I was a chauffeur and an entertainer all day instead. Maybe I'll be able to sneak in some of that time tomorrow. I hope so.

I got a camera...
in my mind...have i mentioned how very much i adore wilco? : )
i have?
I am getting boring, you say?
i really like them A LOT.
they make me happy.
also, i see you're reading the new Eliz. George - will look forward to hearing what you think of it. i read it a few weeks ago...i can say no more. until you've finished.
Yes -- you have mentioned that you adore Wilco :). They make me happy too. They're going to be in Atlanta on a Tuesday in June. A Tuesday! I can't drive 6 hours to see them on a Tuesday!
I'm hoping the new Elizabeth George gets better eventually. I'm only on page 65 though. I loved the beginning with Joel's descent toward murder began with a bus ride -- that's a great sentence.
Otis, Van and Bob. Perfecto.
Hope you get some extra alone time.
Me too. My husband never seems to need it but it's always been essential for me -- just to keep me from being a bitch.
Otis, Van and Bob -- that was perfect wasn't it. Plus the Wilco.
I am the same way. Unfortunately when I get some much needed alone time at home, something seems to interrupt it. Hope you get yours!
iamthebookworm: That's what always happens to me. I think I need to just get away for a weekend all by myself.
i must say i read the first maybe third, and skimmed the second two-thirds. for what it's worth.
It's taking me a long time to finish.
