My boss and I were talking this morning how this month seems to be flying by. It is hard to believe that we are already a fourth of the way through the year. And yet, we whine and complain we never have time to do things or think we can put things off to 'another day'. We all do it.
One of my bosses left last night to fly to Boston. I got a text from her this morning that they made it - just ahead of the 4th snow storm that is heading that way. Lots of cancelled flights, she said. They leave soon for Azores, I think that is what it is called. Some islands somewhere. Her hubby found a 'smoking deal' and scheduled them to fly there for the week. Totally awesome!
I'm not a real traveler where I'm not familiar with things - sight-seeing is just not my big thing. I'm a terrible traveler. I'd rather go and have fun doing things - but not worried about whether or not I'll see all the sights. I'm content just hanging out at a hotel and doing what I want to do. Like shopping. :-) and going out to eat. :-)
Which is what we did last weekend. I was really mentally and physically tired so made plans with hubby to go out of town for the weekend. We did have a nice weekend. Did a lot of needed talking. He actually listened to me some. And I him, I guess. Anyway - we did do shopping, but a lot of reading and knitting and just doing nothing. Didn't eat out but twice - once fast food and once at Cracker Barrel. We just weren't that hungry so had cheese and crackers two nights! Unheard of! And we survived, but I did tell him when we got home that I was NOT interested in cheese and crackers for awhile! We had a good time and I was able to rest. And share some things that were weighing heavy on my heart.
Back to work this week and have had busy moments and some not so busy. Today has been sorta busy - always something to get done. Tried to call in on two skype meetings but kept getting interrupted so missed most of the meetings. No biggie - I was there just to listen in anyway. I was accounted for so that is the main thing.
My other boss told me this morning she is scheduled for vacation from June 1 - June 10. Her best friend and her hubby, my boss and her hubby, are heading to North Carolina for a week. Just to chill out. I wouldn't know what that was like. I'd like to take a vacation with another couple - we have done that a few times and enjoyed it - but I don't know anyone who would want to travel with us. Everyone is getting older and not wanting to travel around.
My daughter, granddaughter and I need to plan our 'Jailbreak Getaway' for this year. This would be our 3rd year. My daughter wanted to go to Antelope Canyon and do kayaking, etc. but that is not my thing - and not her daughter's either. We like to go someplace and find good places to eat. Or look at unique things. We've done Payson, and Tucson. Been there, done that. Was thinking about Flagstaff, but I finally suggested last night as we met up for dinner that why didn't we just find a nice hotel here in town and use that as our base. We could drive to wherever we wanted to go - do a couple nice dinners out. We are only "gone" 3 days and 2 nights so it isn't like we are needing a week somewhere. My granddaughter gave a hearty 'yes' because it would be much more cost effective for her as she does pay her own way. I'm game for it. After all the spring breaks are over would be a good time to find a nice hotel that is inexpensive. Maybe get manicures and pedicures, and just do fun stuff. Don't ask me what that could be. My daughter is much more exploration than I am. Years of being stuffed I guess. I'm content with a good book. :) and my knitting.
Oh yes, knitting. I've taken up a new hobby and am enjoying it a lot. I'm definitely not to the point where anyone could expect a sweater for Christmas - or even a cap! But I'm enjoying making 'dish cloths' right now as I practice on how to manage the stitches and the tension. And of course I still have my sewing to do. :-)
Guess tho I need to get off here - I've rambled on enough. Hope your day is a ...
Blessing!
