With Mr. Pendergest being out of town I thought I would make this night about me. About celebrating being a woman and celebrating the luxurious things in life. So, all day I was craving this fulfillment of luxury. It doesn't come around too often that I get the desire to shop for 'things' but today it was about an affair between Me and Luxury. Looking for marble. And crystals. Something that had the smell of a new car. A little bling for my girlie night.
No I didn't buy a new car...come on, if you read me on facebook you would know that we just got out of debt...not going back there any time soon! Actually, I didn't buy anything. Just came on home and started my night with just me, and my 3 dogs!
A few nights ago, Shawn and I went over the number of dishes it takes for a dinner for two. Well, 2 pots, 1 pan, 3 plates, 1 strainer, 1 bowl, 1 cutting board, 1 chopping knife, 1 paring knife, 1 bread knife, 1 spatula, 1 wine glass, 1 water goblet, 1 spoon, and 1 fork, I had dinner...for 1. Thank goodness for dishwashers! Fresh herbs, spices, and warm bread filled the kitchen. A luxurious Italian dinner for 1!
Following dinner, I popped in a girl-flick movie (Something Borrowed) and laughed away! Perfectly paired with a glass of wine and comfy clothes!
And this night would not be complete without a bubble bath. 6 candles lit the room. Aromatherapy spread throughout the house. Norah Jones graced me with her haunting melodies of love, loss, and dreams. And yes, luxury was there. With my wine glass sitting on the edge of the tub, my tickle for bling had been satisfied. The candles sparkled off the glass and scented oils felt like silk in the hot water. Bliss on top of bliss on top of bliss on top of bubbles!
What I was looking for all day, I already had. Doesn't that seem to be the case more times than not?
Have a luxurious weekend everyone!
