I have come to the conclusion over the years that having fun as a couple just doesn't happen too often for us. Sad but true. I am married to a pessimist who can always find a way to suck the joy out of whatever circumstances life hands him. So if I'm to enjoy life, I have to seek out ways on my own, I guess. That seems selfish from some angles but I think it's necessary for my happiness quotient.
Anyway, yesterday was one of those days where things just went right and it was a good day. I started the day by presenting a Geocaching 101 session at Gilda's Club for the members. Attendance was light but those who came enjoyed themselves. After leaving Gilda's, I went to Richmond Park to do the tribute series of caches recently placed there. All was well until there was a person sleeping in their running truck parked right where I needed to search. Had to come back later but, even with the truck gone I couldn't find the cache so couldn't complete the series. Stopped by another multi which I'd started about six weeks ago and was able to finish it. So a total of six caches for the afternoon.
Nestled in there was a trip to the scout office where I bought two copies of the new 12th edition Boy Scout Handbook (one for me, one to send to Scott.) Nicely done. Also wanted to pick up a new roundtable planning guide but they hadn't yet ordered them...grr...they should be arriving in about a week or so now that they are ordering them.
After the last cache, my goal was to make it to Celebration Cinema in time to see Julie & Julia. Didn't think Steve would be interested so used the free ticket that I'd received from buying pop-tarts earlier in the summer. The showing was scheduled to start at 3:25; I got my ticket at 3:43 and walked into the theater in time to see the opening of the movie. There must be way too many commercials and previews these days.
Watched the movie - I really enjoyed it. Then stopped by Coldstone Creamery since I had a coupon for a free dish of ice cream for my birthday. Enjoyed it while picking up a few things at the nearby Meijer, then went on home.
Just a really nice day.
Good to have a day of doing what you want by yourself...I love them myself! Space in a marriage is sometimes a good thing...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had such a great time on your birthday. I think its a good thing that you do enjoy having time for yourself...I do also...just don't get to much of it. Am ready to go home but we still have 3 more weeks. Did not know that you could do vhs to dvd. Is it a special machine?
