Me, Myself, & I.

I have the evening to myself while my husband is off doing something wonderfully nerdy with his friends. He’s been doing this about once a month for more than 10 years, and never once in all this time have I ever thought to call up my girlfriends and have a night out. I savor these nights as time for myself to be by myself—and I can’t imagine anything better.

I just got home from Saugatuck where I explored the shops, had dinner, and spread out on the beach all on my own. It was anything but lonely. It was perfect. As the sun was going down at the lake, the visitors packed up one by one and left me there to watch the waves. Alone. Just how I like it.

P.S. This Snap Judgement rerun, called Isolation came on this afternoon while I was devising my evening plans. How appropriate!
