My wife told me she'd like to go to the beach for a couple of overnights with her friend and their two sons. They do this about once a year. The one time I joined them, I was a definite third wheel. I was more hoping to be one of the girls, but.... Besides, I'm not too fond of her friend. I like almost everybody. I don't dislike her, but she's not someone I'd like to spend time alone with.
When she told me the date, the first thing I did was check meetup: the next clothing swap is the Sunday she's leaving. They like to leave really early, so I immediately mapped out my day:
- help them get out as early as possible (pre-dawn would be good, 10 is more likely, 9 is probably the best I can hope for)
- put my car in the garage, put my swap clothes in the car
- try on the clothes I bought two days ago (I'll write about them soon) and any other clothes I buy before the swap
- get dressed for the swap
- get a manicure. Maybe a pedicure. They're hard to resist, but they take a while. So time permitting....
- help Kim set up her swap, look at clothes, have an enjoyable afternoon (hopefully without a flat tire!)
- maybe go out to eat (finally! As Meg)
- blow off work on Monday
- Monday, Meg does... something. If you have any suggestions, that would be great. I was thinking of going into DC and doing something there. Maybe I'll go back to that gay restaurant for dinner.
- in the evening, remove nail polishes
- be back at work Tuesday as my usual drab self.
While lunch or dinner as Meg sounds like a good idea, here are a few others:
ReplyDeleteGo to the theater (movie or stage) as Meg
Hit the mall museums as Meg
Is there a good photo studio place around (you know, one of the ones that are usually in malls)? Get some good portraits as Meg.
If you go to eat make it a sit down restaurant that is a little more "upscale". if for no other reason than they tend to be in safer neighborhoods.
