It's Late

So it is after midnight on a Saturday evening (OK so it is Sunday AM) and I have finished hosting a Couple's Night Out for my MOMS Club. We had an AWESOME BBQ, and a great time chatting and having non-kid related conversation. (And a lot to drink.....I am having a hard time writing yhid....I mean this, as we speak) It is very peaceful, not quiet, because I can hear the cars out on the highway (white noise, really) but peaceful, nonetheless. I can hear crickets singing, the cars humming, and not much else. I can actually see the lights below the mountains, and I didn't realize what a nice view we have from our back deck. My husband and nephew ditched me long ago (both passed out...too much to drink and not enough sleep from the night before, respectively). I should feel slighted, alone, lame, but I don't. I feel excited, buzzed, and serene. It is not often that I stay up this late just taking in the calmness of the night. Usually I am IM'ing someone (thanks CB!) or watching a movie (thanks Holly!) or watching TV(totally by myself). I need to do this more often. Now that I have decent patio furninture, I resolve to spend more time in the backyard at night, with a glass of wine, or a Dr Pepper, just thinking and being me. Just a quick side note....I can totally handle my liquor better than my hubby!! Don't tell him I told the world this, but he drank so much he puked (alcohol induced) for the first time in 11 years! I am so glad he got shit-faced tonight! He totally needed, and deserved it!
