It's probably the vacation that is making me so happy this week, my mind has already headed out to the West Coast, but it's leaving my fat body behind so it can enjoy some sunny California time without me embarrassing it. Friday night the rest of me will be out in California as well, with my best friend and Super Husband J at my side. I admit, in the "I'm spoiled" department, vacations top the list. Yes we've been to California before, but not for an entire week like this upcoming visit. (And maybe one sneaky afternoon south of the border.)
One of the joys of being childless, is being selfish with vacations! We make reservations, call Miss Jane our cat sitter, stop the mail and newspaper, and we're off to wherever we want to go. This summer we went to Walt Disney because WE wanted to, not because we had to. And we had a blast, just the two of us. We both have high stress, demanding jobs and at least for me, vacations are the only way I can truly get away from it. J will still have to work, on his Crackberry and his laptop. But he's over 2100 miles away so it's not like he'll have to haul his butt into the office on a Saturday, like when we're trying to relax at home and he gets "a call"...
Me, I'm hourly, so no working off the clock. But, I will come back in that following Monday morning to at least 600 emails. No, that's not an overly dramatic statement, that's a factual number of emails that usually greet me when I return from being out a week. My supervisor might have to handle 50 of them, if I'm lucky. It's a small price to pay, to play on the beaches in Cali-forn-i-a. And not think about work for a whole week!
