Vacation Is Booked

We have been dreaming about a vacation.

Not a trip to visit family, but an actual vacation.  You know one with a swim up bar,  little umbrellas in cocktails, sand, flip flops, snorkels, and beach towels.  A vacation.

Our first plan was to find a house to rent, a house that maybe had someone who would come in and help clean and/or cook.  The Dominican was looking pretty good, but the flights we averaging a minimum of 15 hours and Rob voted no.

I kept looking, and researching, and reading, and browsing and trying to find the right place.

Here in lies the problem the problem, I can look forever. 

We decided to talk to a travel agent, so we actually go on vacation and not just spend the next two months looking indecisively at options.  Within 24 hours our trip was booked.  We are are staying at an all inclusive resort, this will be a first for me.  It is not off the beaten path at all but

Mexico, Playa Del Carmen.

I am so ready.

Well not actually ready but I have a few months to get myself into a swimsuit,   then I will be ready.

Oh, ya, and the pesky cast.  I have to do is get myself out of this cast and walking on two feet and then I am ready for vacation.

I will be dreaming about it until then.

Happy Thursday,

Random Rambling

I am spending a lot of time sitting, and watching the world go by.  I have a lot of time to think, random, not connecting rambles, and I thought I would share.

 

- One small piece of info about a person can totally change how I think of them, sometimes for the better.

 

- A 40 oz of beer is not cute once you have passed a certain age.  Pretty much once you are old enough to drink legally you should not drink them. At least not in public.  What you do in your own home is none of my business. 

 

- If someone that your boyfriend/spouse equivalent has been away for six months and he does not look like he is in the army, you should explain where he was otherwise one will assume he has been in jail.

 

- Some days it is easier to let your kids "earn a privilege back" then to be stuck in the house with them.

 

- Despite all efforts some days I feel like a shitty mom.

 

- Chocolate and booze make things better, sadly in my sedentary state I am avoiding both. Well for the most part.

 

- A warm night,  an aging hippy band, a picnic in the park and my family can remind me that I chose this life and it is pretty good.

 

 

Happy Friday.


Enjoy,
