stealing an afternoon...

when was the last time you took yourself out to the movies? not with a date...not with your friends...not with your children...just you and you alone...

this is one of my favorite indulgences...and it is already planned for one day this week....ssshhhhhh...

choosing a weepy, romantic movie along the lines of the age of innocence or the english patient, and sitting alone in the dark sniffling and wiping your nose without worrying if someone might tease you is sheer heaven...

sneak out to see a movie some afternoon by yourself...without telling anyone where you are going...stop by the snack counter and load up on all of your favorite treats (mine are anything chocolate...)not only will you get to enjoy a movie that you chose yourself...but you also won't have to share your candy!!

settle into those plush seats, shut off your cell phone, forget your worries...and allow yourself to be completely absorbed in another world for just an hour or two...your life will still be there when you get back...but in the meantime...you can be somewhere else and wonderfully alone with yourself...
