I was busy today getting ready to go away for the weekend. But sometime around 1:30pm I decided I didn't want to go. This is very unlike me. I make plans, I stick to them. But in celebration of my new selfish phase I decided I don't wanna.
My parents were a little confused. It was worth it to watch my military strategist father lecture me on the signs of depression. Classic. I guess he forgot that I have Masters in Psychology. I patiently explained that I had been doing what everyone else wants for 10 years. God forbid I take a week to do what I want. Poor guy gave up and just huggged me instead.
He was able to convince Tom to still go. I didn't want him to miss out on the last snowmobiling of the season. But he didn't want to leave me. It would make me more unhappy if he stayed around staring at me all weekend. So off they went into the wilds of Maine. You just gotta love them all.
So how will I spend my Friday night? Not sure yet. It's IFC on Bravo and I kind of want to see that movie about the guy who drives a tractor from Iowa to Wisconsin. Also I have a box of really blonde hair dye that I picked up yesterday. I almost have the guts to do it. Oh no a cliffhanger ending......

Alisa. 37. New Hampshire. Married for almost three years to this wonderful, funny, smart guy. Previously married. Went through in-vitro fertilization to have my five year old magical son Keegan. Stepmother to the charming Isabelle (6). Gushingly in love with our baby boy Harper(1). Policy Wonk and dreaded bureaucrat. Lover of fine cuisine, honeybees, truly romantic moments and the underdog.

ooooh, I can't wait to find out what you do! Spring is coming, change is wonderful! :D
Enjoy your weekend alone. I sure could use one of those!
I did that, too. I wasn't too depressed though. At least, I dont think so. I still got up on time for like, two months. I just liked the alone, selfish time, too. Anyway, I'm staying in this fine Friday night, alone, posting auctions on Y! Just 50 more to go...
Where in New Hampshire do you live? Next time call me...I'll entertain you!!!
