BEST EVER!!!

I don't think I've had a weekend this good in a LONG time... if ever. It was a long week so when my neighbors offered to babysit, I said "Sure! Let me pack!" and off I went to Lawrence. I'd only planned to stay a few hours and come right back home but plans, they do change. The plan was to go to a barn dance and maybe chat with somebody I didn't really know. It turns out that this person and his friends happen to be wonderful! They included me in their group like I'd been there the whole time. We danced. Then we went to somebody's house while trying to decide what else to do. We eventually decided to go to a bar to see some band. It was fun but I and a few others were pretty hungry so after we left, we hit Perkins. Three of the four of us ordered the same thing and only one of us finished all of what we ordered (and then some lol). By this time it was like 2:30 in the morning and we were starting to get tired so we headed back to somebody's house where I'd been invited to crash. We all (7 of us I think) sat around talking and playing CatchPhrase. What a hoot! The time finally came for us to give in to sleep. I was so generously given the air mattress, comfy blankets and pillow so I thought I'd drift right off to dreamland.... NOPE! I tossed and turned for awhile, really wanting a glass of water but not wanting to wake anybody to get it, until I finally passed out. I didn't wake up until around 11am and started to feel bad that I wasn't back at home since I'd told the sitters I'd be back "around 1 or 2" meaning 9-10 hours before the current time. There was no way to get in touch with them though so I just decided to relax. We had breakfast and then I left to come home. I know it all sounds simple but it was just what I needed. I think I'll go back next month.
