Today was the best Friday so far year to date! I can't begin to explain what happened...Hmmmmmm; ok I'll just start at the beginning.
I left exactly at 6:30 this morning and took a new way to work which avoided alot of 95 and mountain road (which is a pain in the butt). I went this way b/c I knew I would pass a Dunkin Donuts and you all know that April Runs on Dunkin. I decided to treat myself to my old standby the flatbread and a coffee.
BTW...I made it to work in just 31 minutes...THIS IS HUGE!!! It has been taking me nearly 45 minutes to get to work in the morning. The weather today was outstanding! Sunny all day and over 80 degrees...YOWZA! That is my kind of day. Around 10am I got hungry
Then I was looking outside and feeling the need for some vitamin D, so what did I do??? I went outside and worked at one of the tables that are set up on the patio of my building (near the cafe). Alot of people had this same idea and they opened the "garage style" doors to the cafe so everyone was working downstairs to be as close to the nice weather as possible.
Backtrack...earlier this morning I emailed a friend I've made at work and asked if she wanted to have an adventure and take the water taxi over to Fells Point to have lunch...unfortunately she was swamped but promised next time she'd join me. I sucked it up and tried to make the most of my afternoon. I worked outside until 11:30 then I went up to my office to get my debit card to get something for lunch... (working in the sun makes you hungry) LOL I decided on the salmon again and ate outside...Mmmmmmmmm
After lunch I decided to take a little walk down to the promenade on our campus which is right on the water. It was so gorgeous I couldn't possibly go in just yet. As I was walking down to the pier, I saw the water taxi. I had a choice to make...do my little loop and go back to my office?? Or hop on the water taxi and take a walk through fells point??? I decided on the 2nd option and hoped on the free boat. OH YEAH... For some reason I felt a huge sense of freedom and happiness duirng the quick 3 minute boat ride to Fells. When I got off the boat I went into shops I'd forgotten about...and just loved EVERY minute!
I headed back to the dock and caught the watertaxi back to work (the whole trip from pick up to drop off took 50 minutes). It was such an amazing way to spend this sunny day. The only thing that would have made it better is if I'd had someone else to adventure with...no worries that will come :)
The rest of my day was in my office on calls and in meetings (dang it) :) but the morning and early afternoon sure did ROCK. Oh and a monster kept me company :)
We couldn't possibly waste this amazing evening inside so after some traffic getting to Bel Air, we went to The Mallet for dinner (this is a newer restaurant in Fallston) and we really loved it! We had outstanding service and the food was really good. I got a crabcake with asparagus instead of fries.
I was really impressed and sitting outside was a nice treat! Even the kids had a great time (well minus Dom, he is with Mom Mom).
Now I'm sitting here drinking a beer and watching Taken (I'm obsessed with this movie)...
Time to chill!!
Positive thought for the day?? This day rocked!!! DO IT AGAIN as often as possible!
