Here is my recipe for a great day:
First, preheat the earth to 80 degrees. Make sure that there will be a nice breeze and some shade provided throughout.
While it is warming, go work out with your husband. A wife, or friend or favorite book would also do.
After the workout, take a long shower, and then put on a comfortable outfit. Be sure to note how your body feels so refreshed.
Prepare lunch for yourself (and if you wish, others). Chicken tacos with fresh ingredients will work nicely along side some corn chips and salsa.
Next, WALK to your local movie theatre for the 3:00 showing of THE HELP. It is a wonderful story, and beautifully put together. It's ok to admire the costumes and set, but pay attention to the message and the heart felt, honest reactions of the audience members who are experiencing the movie with you. Note: You might cry.

The movie should get over just in time for you to walk over to the MAHA MUSIC FESTIVAL. There, you can say hello to some acquaintances, friends, and strangers as you meander over to a spot close to the main stage in the shade. Be sure to notice the perfect temperature, and how nicely the area is suited to the event.

Shortly after the band on the local stage finishes, you will be able to see CURSIVE (or one of your own favorite bands) play an awesome set. It will make you feel like you are back in college and reliving some happy moments over the years. Your feet might also bounce, steadily to the beat and an occasional head nod and body bend can be thrown in to give your band viewing experience a little something extra.

Finally, walk home hand in hand with someone special and relish in the beauty of the neighborhood.
Let cool and share with others.
