I just love quiet nights at home. I find it peaceful and relaxing. I love sitting in my office on my sofa. My cat will come curl up on the back of the sofa, our dog will be running around and I'll be working on my laptop.
On Friday nights you can find me online chatting with good friends. I love to read about history and picture myself living in different time periods and locations. I think the daydreaming is fun. At the end though, I'm always glad to return to the 21st century. It is such a comfort to be able to turn on my laptop, sit on the sofa and video or regular chat with friends all over the globe.
If I'm not chatting to friends I'm either working on my book, working on a project for a friend, or playing Trivial Pursuit online (or Backgammon or some other game to challenge my brain). I love our home. It is cozy, especially at night when the light outside is gone and the lights inside add a comfortable glow.
One of my other activities on Friday night (well almost any night really except Monday which is bowling for D, Tuesday which is tv night (NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, and White Collar) or Thursday (Big Bang Theory, Royal Pains, Bones). I'm an introvert and a home-body. I'm comfortable staying at home. But, back to my activities. I love to read- which is helping me as I work to improve my skills as a writer.
D on the other hand loves to be around people. He is somewhat shy, but he loves to hang out with all his (our) friends and relax (play WoW, Pool, Poker, board games, etc). His preferable Friday nights (when we can afford it) are to go out on the town and live it up, enjoy that we can sleep in in the morning.
Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love my friends and I'm quite happy spending a LOT of time with them. My friends keep me sane (or let me express my insanity, I'm not sure which it is!), they make me laugh, and I feel loved. My friends are vital to my life. I like nothing better than to have a small group (6-10) people over, snack on foods, maybe watch a movie and play pool and end the evening with a rousing board/group game (Taboo, Gestures, Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, etc).
Tonight is a sit in the office, fill out a job application, and now relax and talk with friends online night (all while being comfy cozy in my sweats)! So very relaxing, and it is fun to know that while I'm having a ball talking with friends my husband is in his Dog Pound playing his game and enjoying talking online to his WoW friends. Such a nice way to start the weekend. Makes me want to make us breakfast and eat it with him in bed tomorrow morning, just to continue to coziness of time with my husband!
What is your perfect start to the weekend?
