I want to go on a vacation. Vinny and I have not been on one in 2 1/2 years, not since we went to Italy for our honeymoon. Actually, that is the only vacation we have ever been on together (not including the time V. picked me up from a cross-country bike trip at the very, very beginning of our relationship).
Our lives have been completely dedicated to school and the few weeks out of the past few years that we weren't...we were broke. No time, no money. This seems to have become the story of our lives. I have one word for this:
BORING.
In my mind I am anti-planning a trip that we are going on soon. Anti-planning means that I don't know where we're going or what we'll do when we get there. But what it does mean is that I'm going to call my mom to ask her if she can watch the cats; I'm going to load up the car with all our camping gear and wolfie...and we're going to go. Somewhere. Anywhere.
My husband doesn't know about it and I'm going to surprise him. He reads this blog and will therefore receive ample warning before our departure to start packing his bags.
Life is short. And we need a break. We need some time away together. And I think it will be good for Anu, too. She's never been on an extended road trip.
I want to leave now. And if the flower shop wasn't still a mess--I would.
I need a break. I really, really do.

Ah--- sounds wonderful!!!
Have fun and then have a bit more fun and some relaxation while you are at it!
There is no better cure for boredom than being spontaneous.
HAVE FUN!
:D
Sounds like a trip - anywhere - is just what you need - and deserve! Hope it's wonderful!
Hi Jessie,
I hope you get that camping vacation. They are the best.
Hang in there, Jessie. I hope you get that trip and a few more exotic ones, too.
Sounds fantastic! I love your idea of anti-planning! What freedom to pick up and go. I hope you have a blast. You deserve a break!
Ah, a vacation. I know the feeling, too well, of needing some time away and not taking it soon enough. I've just had two weeks off recently and was able to step back into work with a different perspective. Breathe deeply and enjoy.
Anti-planning, I love it, it's how dreams are discovered. It's amazing how much you can do for not a lot of money ... ENJOY!
go! Go! Have a wonderful time and tell us how it was - we'll be happy to have you back!!! xo
