Wonderful Saturday, what made thee such a wonderful Saturday?
Was it because there was some sunshine peeking through the clouds, on a beautiful vista of snow capped mountains across the valley? Even with the temperature being 50 degrees, very un-like what we usually think early October should be, it was still a beautiful morning.
Was it the usual NPR Saturday line-up, which never fails to make me think and laugh? It always accompanies me on my journeys to the many exciting destinations of a Saturday morning, like the grocery store. It makes me sad to turn off the car in the middle of a great story and I admit spending way too much time sitting in the car, in the Smith's parking lot, listening til the end of "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me". I had a thought today, that maybe I could use my phone to listen with earphones to a podcast. Would people think I was crazy as I burst into laughter, or made some other seemingly inappropriate expression, as I walked the aisles with my cart? Probably.
Was it because we had a fun lunch date with friends, friends who "get us", who laugh at and with us? After lunch, we went over to the mall to buy Don some "excercise shorts" in his words, otherwise known as basketball shorts and a dress shirt. But when he talked about them he kept getting mixed up saying he had to "buy some dress shorts", so that was the running joke...yes, I know, we are easily amused and I guess you had to be there, but those are the kinds of silly things that cause friends to laugh, with and at each other, things that no one else would find funny. Our friend needed new jeans and there was much talk about changing sizes, styles, rises, washes. We two wives decided he should get the kind endorsed by sexy Mike (Dirty Jobs) Rowe. Lee Jeans knows well, the demographic of their customers.
Don and Barry left early for the BYU game. As soon as the door closed, I turned off the television, leaving me alone in the house with only the sound of the clock ticking. This is something that I love, but seldom get to enjoy.
And so I sit in the quiet, with only a few well chosen lamps burning softly and type
It was a wonderful Saturday.

What a great day!! So glad you enjoyed it.
Nice way to spend a Saturday, with good friends who "get" you, loads of laughter and at the end of the day some "quiet time". Lovely!
Glad you had some time to yourself :)
Sounds like a lovely Saturday to me. I love the idea of you walking around Smith's with ear phones in, bubbling with laughter ... just the thought makes me giggle ... I think you should do it!! REALLY, I mean it's not like you're walking around with a giant hole in your pants, it's just laughing! *wink wink*
Evette, you're funny! ;) Let's have a wonderful Saturday and do brunch!
I LOVE to be alone in my house. I haven't gotten any emails from you for a long time. What gives?
