TGIF

My TGIF posts are to be about what I am grateful for, not for the common phrase describing the joy that the week-end is near. I'm breaking this rule today as I am grateful that today actually is Friday. It has been a long week at work as I am preparing to be gone for almost 3 weeks. Many to-do lists and thinking of "what ifs" to help educate the staff before I leave.

Today as I was getting ready I had a vision of myself sitting at a bar with my husband for happy hour...I'd like to think all of my hours are happy when I am with my husband, but discounted drinks and fun food...that's a happy hour, and something I rarely enjoy. The happy hour time slot of the typical 4-6 or 5-7pm just doesn't usually work for me. Well it is 5:26pm and I am just waiting for Kent to show up at work with the requested jacket and pants I'd like to wear tonight and my lipstick case as it was left behind in the morning shuffle. I gave my hair a shake, had an altoid and we will soon be off to have a spirit and a little nosh to embrace the week-ends arrival. I have given up sweets, carbs, alcohol as I am trying to lose weight...tonight though I think I will forgo these goals and embrace my body as it is to partake in that joy of the happy hour.
