labor day

today i got up before noon (but not much before), had lunch, watched a little tv, and then put on my workout clothes and intended to go out for a walk.  and then decided i'd rather hang out by the pool with mike and kelly, so i took off my yoga pants, put on a sarong and some flip flops, and went over to their house.  i realized while i was there how rarely we do this - just do NOTHING together.  when i plan events with friends, it's usually "let's get together and have dinner" or "let's get together and watch a duke game."  rarely do we say, "let's hang out," unless the hanging out involves drinking beer.  and even then we usually go hear live music or play a board game.  it was so wonderful today to just BE with mike and kelly, in the shade by their pool, talking about our weekends.  i forget that we don't need activities to do together all the time.  that's the perk of having such good friends, and i tend to overplan our time together.  this is me telling myself to cut it out.
