My Ideal Day

I wake up at 9:30 am, completely refreshed with a full night's sleep. I wash up and head into kitchen of my apartment, where I live alone but have friends close by. I pet my comfort retriever (small part golden retriever dog), feed him breakfast, and then myself. I choose scrambled eggs and toast with butter, and make myself a bit of a sandwich with it. I bring my food out to my backyard, where the sun of the warm summer's day hits my face. I watch my pup chase squirrels around the backyard as I eat, and I play fetch with him for a few minutes until we both go inside and I take a hot shower.

I next call my friend Kendra in order to go into town. We mostly window shop, talking the whole time, and find our way to the beach. Here I find a bunch of other friends, and we spend the afternoon joking around, playing in the waves and sand. At around 4, we all split up, and a smaller few of us grab a late lunch/ early dinner. We sit and talk for hours about everything and nothing at all.

I head home to catch another shower and to get ready for the night. I have extra time between my shower and when I have to get dressed so I snuggle up on my couch, a soft blanket on my lap, reading my latest book. Today, it is Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger. I then put on a bright, colorful top and my favorite jeans just as my friend Jess calls me to tell me that they are leaving. I have no idea what the plan is, but then again, I don't mind. She picks me up, music blasting, and I hop in. We sing all our favorite songs on the drive there, and any time I ask our location, she just smiles. After about ten minutes she tells me to close my eyes. I oblige, being a good sport, but it was unnecessary because the smell of the ocean gives me a big clue where we were going.

I'm back at the beach again for an impromptu bonfire. I grab a drink and socialize a bit. I stay late, but head home alone. I'm in bed by 4 am... but that's ok; tomorrow's Sunday, I can sleep in.
