playing hooky

My co-worker Anne and I played hooky from work this afternoon (we used PTO but saying we played hooky sounds so much cooler) -- the first hot summer day of the year can't be spent working on taxes. We enjoyed ourselves a lovely afternoon of raspberry beer, shopping and a movie. We were, by far, the youngest ones catching the afternoon matinee of the "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." It's one of the most adorable movies I've seen and highly recommend you check it out --  especially a weekday afternoon matinee, the company you'll have really adds to the charm of the movie, which is about the elderly and the beautiful.
