Drat! I had to make my own martini on Friday date night

Strange day for me. My cleaning lady arrived so darn early and left so darn late. Yapping away so much that I ran away to do laundry and clean our own bathroom and bedroom. Hubs went out for breakfast with his friend. He went to visit our son. He went to buy food for dinner. He went back to our son’s house to watch the landscapers plant new things. Where was I on Friday date night? Home alone mixing my own martini and drinking alone. Must be a lush, but I wait all week for our date night. Oh, hubs is home! Let the long weekend begin! I’m ready..

What an escape!! I think I would have left the bathroom cleaning to her!! I hate cleaning bathrooms. Glad your hubby made it home and not too terribly late! Have a great evening!

I left that yapper with the other bathrooms. Enough was enough yapping! Yawn! Thanks so much. We just took a quick ride to see the new landscaping at our son’s house. He wasn’t home, but I was very impressed with the plantings,p.

Very true. We just took a drive to our son’s house. Hubs wanted to show me the beautiful landscaping that began today, I am very happy!

@allknowing He’s a good guy, even though he wasn’t home to make my Friday date night martini. He’s waiting for me to watch a movie. Five more minutes.

Yes, but he doesn’t want my special appetizers. He wants to catch up on the news. So romantic!

I get stuck yapping at stores when I see people I know . . . but oh no when you get stuck with a yapper in your own home!! Your hubs had quite a busy day too. Woooh, I cannot imagine you ever having to be alone on a Friday night of all nights - no way! Well I'm glad he made it home . . . I hope he didn't get in too much trouble . Enjoy the rest of your evening!!!

@DianneN I know that one . Oh, well 5 is still early - still light out anyway. I'm sure he made it up to you . How did the landscaping look? The yard is going ever so slowly . . . other things in life seem to pop up .

@much2say It worked out fine. The landscaping looks so pretty so far. Lots more to do in the fall when the time is right for planting here. Trust me, I understand. I hope everything is going well with you and the family. I’m so busy right now.

Hubs told me it takes two to yap. I was happy he rushed back at 5 sharp. After dinner, he took me for a short drive to show me the work done at our son’s house. I forgave him completely then. Too bad our son wasn’t home. Many thanks. What have you been up to? Still busy with the yard?

It's a good thing you learned how to make them. I wish I didn't have to be on pain pills or if have something too maybe not as good or potent though.

@DianneN the pain pills are over the counter ones but I still resist.

He taught me how to make them. But it’s no fun drinking when he’s not around. Glad you know enough to not drink on pain pills. That’s a huge no no.

I tend to do G&Ts more than martinis, but I do still enjoy them sometimes. Is that Bombay Sapphire I spy in your martini?

I only have martinis on Friday and Saturday nights, but occasionally have other drinks depending on my mood and the weather. I almost made a Bombay Sapphire martini, but used Tito’s vodka for a change. Maybe tonight!

I sure do wait all darn week for it - and for one on Saturday night, too. I do like some alone time. Glad he’s getting out more now. He hates being here when the cleaning lady is around.

I knew he wouldn't miss Date Night. I hope the martini was good, even if you had to mix it yourself. He was a very busy man.

@DianneN And we all get frazzled nerves at times. It helps to find whatever calms us down. For me it's complete quiet seclusion, near the shores of Lake Huron. If I couldn't escape, my life would be a struggle.
