Attempting the Ever Elusive "Me Time", 2

On my way to have coffee at BD Beans I spent $2 and washed the bird poo off my car. I figured that if I were going to be pampered for the next few days I might as well not do it in a poo-laden chariot. (I don't have a garage & my parking place abide beneath a canopy of oak trees.) By the time I got to BD Beans it was 12:30pm, so rather than only have coffee I ate their amazing chicken salad croissant sandwich. Waaaay to expensive for a chicken salad sandwich... But I only had to buy one, (instead of at least two, & usually four,) so I SLOWLY ate it with pleasure. I read an entire magazine which included an article before I even touched the sandwich. I actually let it sit there for at least five minutes while slowly munching on the chips that came with it. The waitress asked with concern if the sandwich was to my liking. I smiled and told her about my goal to get really bored. I tried to ignore her envy since that only brings me guilt, NOT an emotion conducive to relaxation.

I got about a 1/4 of my research done for my Bible study while there, paid my bill & went to the grocery store for a "single woman's" grocery list; 6 frozen dinners & lemon Italian ice! I also stopped at the DollarTree for some cheap-o "get bored" supplies; bubble bath, pedicure supplies, a couple books, (neither one of them for relaxing. I need a few "the cat who..." mysteries for that.) I have fed my horses, cats, & dogs, spoken to my husband (they made their plane!)

Now I think I'll go toward my first step of boredom; a bubble bath. A bubble bath is virtually useless. You can't work on your computer from there for obvious moisture reasons. If you start a really good book in there your arms get tired. If you talk on the phone in there you risk NOT relaxing. I'll think I'll try to watch a movie... Maybe Stargate. Christian hates it but M&M love it... I'll figure out why.
