i drove home from work last night wondering what i should do since my mom, sister, and enoch are away in houston and chris was TAing a night class. having had a couple slow weeks at work, it was a feeling i hadn't had in a long time. even my never-ending personal to-do's had been mostly crossed off. i actually had nothing to do.
my idea of a fun night alone:
1) b&n - don't you just love the feeling when you walk in there knowing you have nothing but a few hours to kill and a seemingly limitless supply of books! coffee, a good book, rain outside.... there's no better combination.
2) a blockbuster night - cuddling under the blanket watching a chick flick, crying and laughing through sad and happy moments.
3) read at home - there's no coffee and a limitless supply of books, but sometimes the comfort of my own bed and a limitless supply of my favorite snacks can outweigh b&n.
4) make it a late night at wendys - it's not often that i let myself do this. that is, after i found out that mcdonald's uses earthworms in their meat, taco bell uses a mystery ingredient in their meat, and the cost of making one wendys nugget is less than 5 cents.
5) ballys - always on my list but everything else always seems better.
6) nap - a luxury that doesn't come by often. a must on sunday afternoons.
7) shopping - i don't really consider myself the shopping type, but sometimes, it is extremely therapeutic. especially when i go alone, i can shop for hours on end. spending money is a plus but not required.
last night, i decided to combine 2 and 4. despite the heavy rain, i thought i'd enjoy the walk to blockbuster, but i regretted the choice about halfway there. i literally stood for a whole minute contemplating whether to turn back or keep going. people in cars watched me with a look of pity.
and the highlight of my night? i met a cousin that i hadn't seen in years!
it was the weirdest thing. i stood in line waiting to place my order at wendys and saw that there was a young korean guy working in drive thru. he did a double take when he saw me but i didn't think much of it (why would i? it happens all the time). it only clicked when he smiled and waved. it was LITTLE RYAN. it's funny how i aged all these years but thought ryan would stay the little ryan that i remember.
we used to play video games together. i used to hide his beloved doggie behind the couch and he would cry. he would go crying to my aunt when my sister and i didn't play with him because he said we're his fwends. i wonder if he still calls grimace the "purple ghost."
anyways, so that was my adventurous night alone.
thursday came twice this week.
