I had a great day last week. Nothing particularly earth shattering happened like saving the world of global warming or anything..that’s next week. I woke up early-ish and the sky was overcast… just how I like it. And those of you with chronic migraines every day, know EXACTLY where I’m coming from. I had plans for lunch with my dad, so I hopped in my car and headed to Annapolis. Windows down, my hair whipping across my sunglasses…yes I wear my sunglasses when it’s overcast…music rockin’, singing my heart out, and seat dancing.
I love driving to Annapolis. It’s my ‘me-time’. A bajillion things go through my head and take me away from the stresses of life, even if it is only for a 30, ehem… I mean 50 minute drive (hi mom!). Dad and I decided we were going to grab lunch at my favorite, and I mean the best in the tri-state area, pizza place Bella Italia. After lunch we ran a bunch of his errands cruising around in his 530IL…what what, we got his car washed just minutes before it started to sprinkle, stopped at Staples, then headed to Marshall’s to pick up some cold weather pull-over shirts for him. We invested in a new lens for me, I say invested because the whole lens costs more than a contract to get your face on the Wheaties box, and then lounged on the couch watching Law and Order. Could the day get more perfect?? Of course. Dad agreed to try out the new Online ordering from Outback, and I was outta my seat faster than a fourth grader in their plastic desk chair for 3 hours, and up the steps on the computer ordering.
As I was cruising home, I was looking up at the big bright moon, the colors of the changing trees, and thinking about how wonderfully blessed I am. I have such an amazing family that I love spending time with, a roof over my head, a wonderful car to get me from A to B, food in my belly, and an awesome job that I am so passionate about. There is nothing more could I ask for.
I’m worried about the pizza place…I don’t think they keep their inventory well stocked :)
