Sit back and put your feet up...

A friend of mine had foot surgery, so we spent this afternoon laying on her sofa watching a movie - when is the last time you did THAT on a Wednesday afternoon? It's been awhile for me too! And since I wasn't at MY house, I couldn't jump up and put a load in the wash, or answer the telephone from an ANNOYING solictor, or do any of those things that interrupt you from watching a movie from beginning to end without anyone bugging you. You know, the guys got it right a long time ago - they just want to lay on the couch and watch some game - the whole game (any game...) - and not be asked to do one thing. How relaxing is that! So when I was talking last week about ways to relieve stress, here is one at the top of list: take an afternoon off at someone else's house; lay on their couch and watch something you want to watch. Run your errands another day, do your chores tomorrow, turn off your phone - it's great to be one of the guys! Melissa
