Ten Things I am going to do Today

I am currently in the City of Fountains (not Rome) visiting my mother. Just me--no kids--no husband. Here are ten things I am planning on doing today:

1. Getting a pedicure. Yes--even though summer is almost over and flip-flop season is about done. But I haven't had one since the day before my wedding almost 13 years ago. It is time.
2. Putting gas in my car. I am running on fumes, because it was more important for me to hit Starbucks in Emporia than a gas station.
3. Hitting Starbucks for a light mocha. Whether it is on ice or not will depend on the outside temperature.
4. Walking around the Plaza. Even if it rains. My mom lives, like three blocks from there, so we HAVE to go.
5. Eating somewhere where your food doesn't come on a tray, and they don't ask you "If you would like fries with that." And ABSOLUTELY NO PLAYPLACE.
6. Having lighthearted conversations with my mom.
7. Hitting a Barnes & Noble for a book to read tomorrow while my mom is at a meeting.
8. Trying NOT to obsess about the call I got yesterday about a potential employment opportunity.
9. Calling my brother and sister to tell them how much I love them.
10. Enjoying every minute of my time away.
