6. I don't want to be taken to fancy restaurants.

It is way too much money and not very fun.

My family descended upon my house for the weekend.
We cooked our favorite foods, I got taken to a movie theater,
first time in many years, to see The Devil Wears Prada,
we laughed and laughed.

Then a wonderful pottery class to make vases.
Then a trip to my favorite Chinese restaurant where we ordered a lot of food!

It was a total blast and I loved every minute of it.
They finally left and I just finished cleaning the house, but I am a happy camper.
