Here I sit

It's 7:45 on a Saturday night and I'm home alone. G has taken the kids to see Madagascar 2 at the drive-in. I decided I'd better stay home and keep the puppy company. Outside it's dark and chilly, the rain has since stopped so it is both a perfect night for the drive-in and also for an evening alone with a pile of books and magazines, a laptop, some music to break the silence, a blanket to snuggle under and a puppy to keep my feet warm. I should vacuum the kitchen and mop the floor but a night alone doesn't happen too often so I'm going to relish it - the floor will get cleaned before bedtime but not right now.....
