I work full time, and I do on occasion attend quilt group meetings. I am not adverse to vacationing, I LOVE travel and wish I could do more. I am thrilled to visit family and be social and enjoy events with my few girlfriends, none of whom are local.
BUT. On my day off, or weekend off or after work? On a day to day consistent basis?? Home. I secretly LOVE the week my husband works 4-12 midnight, and get a bit upset if I end up working late the same days he is, because that week is "mine"...Icecream for dinner if I want,, just me and the kitties, putzing, quilting, reading....
I can handle a 2 hour schmooze at an art gallery once a month... but beyond that....give me peace and quiet and my own time...
