Oh, what a night!

I'm having such a lovely evening so far....

Dick is away on business tonight, so it's just me and the kitties.

I was pretty busy working all afternoon, and only made it outside when I walked to the post office.
At 5:00, my friend Sheri called. She lives in Southern Cal, and we haven't had a chance to catch up for a long while. She was driving for an hour on her way to her first night of school to get her Master's Degree. Anyhow, we had a lovely chat, and are totally caught up now.

Around 6:30, I decided it was time to eat dinner. We had a left-over steak in the refrigerator from the other night when Dick grilled. (We bought an extra in case a friend was able to come over) I heated up the steak, and also chopped up a head of romaine lettuce, and made a lovely ceasar salad out of it. Initially, I was drinking my usual glass of water with my meal when I realized, "I should be having a fat glass of red wine with this meal!" So I got up, uncorked a great bottle of cab, and continued to eat my meal. Oh - and if forgot to mention, I ate in the Media room, while watching a rerun of Sex and the City. Now that my friend is a decadent meal.

Now, most of you know that I'm a light-weight when it comes to drinking. Yep, 1 glass of wine was quite enough for me. I figured I was staying in for the night, so what does it matter anyway? ;) Anyhow, at 7:30, I called my friend Tammy, out in Chicago. We haven't caught up in a few weeks - much longer than usual. We had a fabulous time, and jabbed on the phone for almost 2 hours.

Hmmm... and now I'm thinking about heading downstairs for a bowl of ice-cream.

:) Yep, it's kind of nice having a day day to yourself once in a while.

Not that I won't miss Dick tonight of course ;). I'm sure he's out having a grand time as well!
