I'm so proud of myself. I feel empowered. Rudy was gone last night to a "guy's thing". I wasn't invited. Thats fine. I'm not one of those women who have to spend every waking moment with their man. Actually, thats part of why our marriage works. We enjoy time both with and without each other. We have separate interests and I think that is healthy. However, this past week was very stressful for me and by Friday at five, I needed to blow off a little steam. Normally Rudy and I would have found something to do, but I knew he wouldn't be home most of the night. Instead I called a variety of friends, but they all had other plans. I was just going to go home and read a book until I had an inspired idea. I looked up the play list at the second run theater. I got so excited. 27 dresses was showing at 6:20. I had been wanting to see it but didn't want to spend $7.50 or more when it was just a chick-flick. I had resolved myself to wait until it came out on dvd. Instead, I went, all by myself to a movie, only payed $3.50 and really enjoyed it. When it was done I felt so much better. I love chick flicks when I'm stressed. They just make me happy.
