Art of Doing Nothing

A few weeks ago my husband asked if I wanted to join him on a business trip to Bozeman, Montana. A full week without kids, work or distractions, I hesitated, due to the fact that R & R is an activity that normally gives me a nervous twitch.  But, it all came together with my in-laws moving in, my business partner watching the shop & I am on day 3 of official "doing nothing."

So here's what I have done: (in no particular order)
1. Strolled thru the local Wal Mart in search of cheap booze & listened to other people's kids whining & screaming
2.  Slept in past 10am & didn't get dressed until noon
3.  Went for a walk without kids or dogs
4.  Drove thru mountains & lapped up the scenery
5.  Joined my husband for after work cocktails, then a leisurely dinner
6.  Had wine at noon, 1pm, 1:45pm....one afternoon (you get the picture) while eating chips & watching bad daytime TV
7.  Drafted preface to my book (ok, I had to do something!)
8.  Sat at Starbuck's & read in peace, while again witnessed parents with whinning children
9. Had a fabulous facial/massage - think I orgasmed on the table:)

Ah, so now it is wine time & The View might be on, then maybe a nap.
Take time my modern, crazy Type A+++ ladies, you might be shocked how much you enjoy it!
