We're on vacation. Okay, TECHNICALLY we have a REAL vacation to Reno coming up, but that's actually a WORKING trip for me (writing conference!! More Stress!! Oh boy!!). But, we NEED a break. Being slightly cash poor these days, Clanna helped me come up with a fabulous idea. We're on vacation here. At home. Need us? Cell phones are out of service, sorry. E-mail? Not checking at the moment. Hammock? Occupied by the cutest husband around and a book of bathroom ideas? Breakfast? Cinnamon Pancakes. Clean up? Not happening. Moving furniture into the basement? Not today. Naps taken already today? Two. Freak is right now enjoying the "spa" with a long, hot shower and BATH. Yes, my manly man takes bubble baths, and I believe that's what he's up to right now. Massages are planned for later this afternoon.
What's truly cool though is realizing that we have the perfect home for vacationing at home. We have a hammock. We have diet sodas in the fridge and pitchers for iced tea. Enough dirty dishes fit in the dishwasher to accommodate a weekend of laziness. We have enough curtains now to spend the day in our underwear. What more is needed really? Oh and we have BOOKS. Stacks and stacks of books. I'm only on the computer briefly here because the need to write was overwhelming, but suddenly, the reminder that I have BOOKS waiting has me itching to return to my vacation.
The To-Do list and the To-Worry list are offically missing in action for the next two days! Tell me how YOU vacation and unwind at home, dear readers, I want to do this more often.
