I found myself at home alone today after Amie picked Landon up and took him to Seven Peaks for the day, and after Whitney was invited over to Madison's house for the afternoon. I immediately called Cafe Rio, then came home to watch Sense and Sensibility (I'm in Jane Austen mode lately) . Glorious.
**What would you have done?**
Comment Window Tidbit: I caught Whitney's cold. #$@! I'm not enjoying the brain rattling that's going on when I cough.

Sounds perfect!
After all the babysitting you've been doing, I'm glad you had a much-deserved afternoon off! Bummer about the cold, though...
I would have done something lame, like clean. I like your choice much better.
Same same!
I would have been in my bed so fast, it would make your head spin!
Perfect afternoon. I love that movie. I need to find some shade to read in!
I would love to spend time alone like that but I usually end up straightening up the house or paying bills, taking work calls, etc. Good for you getting a much deserved break!
I might have popped in a disc of "Alias" and worked on wedding invite tasks. What a lovely afternoon!
That is DEFINITELY my idea of a perfect afternoon (except that we don't have Cafe Rio in Texas...SNIFF SNIFF, so I would have had to settle for Chipotle). Sense & Senisibility has to got to be one of the best movies of ALL TIME!
oh no! sick in summer is no fun. How come you did not go to 7 Peaks? ohhhhh that salad looks sooo good. I was trying to get one with Esther the other day that she was around my neighborhood....but it never materialized.
Good for you for thinking fast and taking advantage of the situation! I probably would have wasted a bunch of time on the computer and then cleaned a little. Hope you feel better soon!
You made the BEST choice--I mean you can always clean or do other household-y tasks, but you won't always have a few hours of uninterrupted PEACE.
Have you ever seen Persuasion? There's a newer version with Rupert Penry-Jones but I LOVE the older one with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds.
Amen to the glorious! That sounds like such a perfect afternoon! I love the new Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly.
Jill FYI when I talked to Luci last, she told me she wished I got have found a straight-thru flight to Utah so she could have stayed with Whitney for 7 nights instead of my parents! She is soooo miserable with my mom (I will have to blog about it later) but I thought it was cute that she thought of Whitney who she doesn't even really know!
I can't remember the last post I commented on but I have read through them until I feel caught up. I love your Sunday post most. The gospel makes my heart happy too.
I can't fathom an afternoon alone to do what I want- at least until kids go back to school. That first day back- I'm thinking Emma, rumbi grill and an iceberg shake. Remind me when it comes or I might just clean house.
I would have been able to do nothing except make little oinking sounds if that Cafe Rio salad was within my reach/sight/smell.
You're in full-blown Jane Austen mode, and I'm not in state to stalk you??? Grievous.
Have you ever watched the little-known, non-BBC tv version of Persuasion? It's phenomenal! It quietly sneaks up on you and suddenly you find yourself completely smitten with Capt. Wentworth. If you watch it, report back to me! If you don't, well then by hell, invite me over and let's watch it together! Toss in Michelle, Amie, all my blogpals that I love and don't know in person, and we'd have SUCH a fun party.
I love your label on this post. "Bliss." Indeed.
I just realized I planned a party at YOUR house. That's so wrong. I blame it on my hostess-phobia.
We can do it at mine!
I just picked up a biography of Jane Austin and can't wait to read it - or at least skim it! Which sense and sensibility is this? The most recent BBC version - I really enjoyed! Happy Birthday, btw, to your mom! MIchelle :)
I just picked up the entire set of BBC Jane Austen movies at Costco for $18! I am in heaven and I'm checking blogs just before I go upstairs to watch one :)
hey i saw a cafe rio close to jeff's new office, i am so excited.
who is Jane Austen?
The next person who posts a picture of Cafe Rio on their blog is going to get a swift punch in the throat. How dare you.
