Friday Night

Every other Friday night Eric works at the Brooklyn Brewery and sometimes I am bummed at the idea of spending Friday night all by my little lonesome. Then.... my eye gives a twinkle and I remember all the fun things I can do ALL BY MYSELF! Here is a list in no particular order.

1. PIG OUT! Eric is a bit of a healthy eater, which is great, but I always feel guilty when I want to indulge in some junk food. So Friday night is the only night I will ever get Burger King on my walk home from the train. Chicken sandwich with cheese. And a Coke. Yum.

2. NETFLIX! I am such a big fan of Netflix. We have an XBox 360 and an Xbox live membership so we can stream Netflix movies directly onto our TV. Friday night I can add all the movies I want to the instant queue! Ballet documentaries? Sure thing! Romantic, period pieces starring Emma Thompson? No problem!

3. GIRL TALK! I can chat, chat, chat all night long to my sis, mom, Allie, without getting one of those "can you go into the bedroom, please?" looks. I can shout "AND MY PERIOD WAS SO HEAVY THIS MONTH!" if I wanted to.

4. DRESS UP! I love trying on new outfits or new make- up techniques but I feel kinda silly playing dress up with E home.

5. MUSICALS! Blasting Les Mis and singing at the top of my lungs. Honestly, I do this quite often when E is home, but I know he doesn't really enjoy it. He wont say so because he knows I love it, but still.

6. FARTING! Ahhhhh. That's better. No, E and I have never farted in front of each other. In 7 years he has NEVER let one slip. I did ONCE and it was sooo awful. He doesn't burp either. Not that I'm complaining. In truth, its not that pleasant to be engulfed in another persons smelly gas, but on Friday nights.... WATCH OUT!

Anywho, I gotta go. Gosford Park and Chinese food are calling my name! If anyone wants to talk about VAGINAL BIRTH!! or some such matter, call me, because we totally can.
