So whats prompted this blog of mine?(Seems to me I never write for the love of writing itself,all my blogs are prompted!huummm....lets discuss that another time :) )
So Ram's out of town this weekend on work,and will be getting back only Monday morning,which gives me the house to myself for the WHOLE weekend :) and I love it!
I have always been like that, I love/adore my own space,the pleasure of walking into an empty house kicking off your shoes,raiding the fridge and then settling back to watch tv(with no one to fight you for the remote) is heaven! :)
I remember when I was in school in, a time before cell phones and multiple TV's in one house, I used to roll up a bedspread and head to the terrace sometime late in the evening and just lie back and watch the stars :) it was again my space, my time and just me :)
That being said I am not devoid of human emotion :) I love being around friends and family and would hate to be alone EVERY weekend,but every once in a while getting to do my own thing is pretty awesome :)
Like last weekend when I was home alone I woke up late put together a lil brunch for myself and then drove myself to a mall for some retail therapy,caught up with a good friend and her adorable son(my gps system led me right to her doorstep :) :) it really is a most useful thing),picked up dinner,headed home watched an episode of desperate housewives and crashed out :) :)
Felt good to be out doing my own thing because of late I had begun to notice that I was dependent on Ram for waaaay too many things,it had reached a point where I felt awkward if I had to do things alone!(even grocery shopping!...I know I had it bad!).
And I realized with a jolt that just not the kind of person I am :) but I guess marriage does that to you and I m not complaining ,just amused :)
So anyway I make a conscious effort now to get my me time and most importantly make an effort to do things on my own like paying the phone bills or meandering through narrow lanes of an unknown area to send a parcel rather than hand it over to Ram and beg him to go do the dirty work :),or sorting out my Airtel bill mix up without running to him :)
Because like Ram rightly pointed out ( when I said I love being home alone),there is no point being home alone just to have fun and relax you need to manage the things that go along with it :)
So herez to my effort of.. well....not being a lazy bum and enjoying my time at home along with its responsibility :)
