Let’s Do Lunch

I just had a pleasant surprise; my husband called and said he would like to meet me for lunch today. I have to admit I have had a hard week, one of those that if I put it to music it would make a great country song and going out to lunch just made up for most of it, I love going out to lunch.

Kyle and I eat dinner together most nights but going out to lunch is different. Even on the weekends when we have nothing else to do we will just ‘go to lunch’. Then on Sunday’s after church we usually go ‘to lunch’ with friends. When I know someone is available I try and make lunch dates with them.

It is not about the food, I usually bring my lunch to work and because Kyle is a really good cook so the leftovers are pretty good. It is not about getting a break in the day, because I take an hour for lunch. It is not about going out, if I am not meeting someone I prefer not to go out at lunchtime. I enjoy the time quiet at my desk and doing on-line crossword puzzles and checking up on my blog reading.

“Doing Lunch” is about relationship building, yes even with my husband. It is a chance for some time that is specifically set aside and it is more casual. When I do lunch I like a quiet atmosphere just so I can have conversation with whom ever I am with.

So let me know when and where we can meet and I would love to have lunch.
