Friday 'Virtual' 'Date Night'...and Chocolate and a Movie Night Too!!

(Brownie Peanut Butter Cups by Bake or Break)

         I've been dragging around for a few days now...reading, trying to sleep, and eating. Truthfully, I can't wait for this week to end! I've been just waiting for the weekend...Just waiting!!!...I think I've got too much on my plate and too much on my mind. Mostly I'm just overly tired from 'not' sleeping!

       Anyway... I've been crocheting a little, watching the rainfall a little...

        ...Okay, watching the rainfall a little more than I want to! And feeling it too!!...O-U-C-H!!! And I've also had a few things on my mind...like the fact that my mother-in-law's house situation is getting more complicated, and winter is coming fast.
       Also, my dad is going back into the hospital at the beginning of next week for a surgical procedure that's suppose to minimize his pain somewhat...*sigh*...He's been having a VERY rough time. The pain is affecting his ability to get around now. :-( And I haven't been feeling all that 'hot' myself! 
      {And as a side note: there's a cantaloupe scare being talked about on the news this morning...cantaloupes from Jensen Farms. It has something to do with poisoning!!....AND some kind of controversy about arsenic in apple juice!!!...UGH!}

       So, I'm all about watching the leaves...the ones still left after the rain, that is...and having me some chocolate and...looking at me a movie today! :-) Until tonight that is!
      It's Friday 'Date Night' and I gotta get to work packing my suitcase 'to the gill' with clothes!! Lots of clothes that I can wear in thin layers. Micro-fiber clothes as WARM as I can get them!! We're going to the windiest place on earth...seriously!!...I'm definitely gonna need this below)...for sure!...

         Note To Self: Take back the destination itinerary from your hubby as to where you go on your 'virtual' 'Date Night'!!! LOL 
        And I think I'm gonna pack a ton of chocolate brownies too!...

        I'm gonna need to keep my energy up...and my depression down on this trip! ^_^

        Chocolate and peanut butter oughta do it!!! ^_^ {By the way, if you want the recipe for these...and believe me, you 'want' the recipe for these!...you can click HERE.}
       Me?!....I'm gonna quietly sit this morning and watch this...in preparation for our 'virtual' trip! :-)

      Have you figured out where we're going?!...And if so, are you wondering WHY?????!!!!!....Me too!! ^_^
     Oh Well, I always enjoy our 'Date Night' trips no matter where we go. I'm sure this trip will be no exception. In fact, I've already learned some interesting things about this place that I never knew before!! I'll share them with you tomorrow...when we get back! :-) ... What are you doing this weekend?! I'd love to hear!

When I Lay My Pillow Down

What do I want to accomplish
by the end of the day?
Do I want a sense of peace,
or have my nerves all at a fray?!

I want a calm to have set in.
To have my muscles all relax.
To have brain waves slowing down,
and my awareness at a max.

I want to know that I've done good
when I lay my pillow down.
That I've caused someone to smile,
and feel more happy and unwound.

I want the people that I love,
without strings, to love me back;
And relationships I've formed
to be settled and intact.

When I lay my pillow down,
with my business put to bed,
I don't want to have to worry
that I've cheated or misled.

I want a sense of satisfaction,
and that feeling, "Job Well Done!"
No loose ends that need re-tieing.
No last race I have to run.

What I want to have accomplished
at the end of the day,
is brain cells in the pink,
with no foggy, mental gray!

A happy family, happy me,
a happy God, without a frown;
And I want this every night,
as I lay my pillow down.
