Staycation's All I Ever Wanted

I have this blog, but it's not always easy to find and then post what I want to share. Will need to figure that out in the future! It's why I haven't posted since January. Where's Wordpress when I need it? Lots of work to do...

This week - after a super busy month of major events and equally major marketing deadlines - I decided it would be good to take a day or two off in addition to Memorial Day. And then I thought maybe that was NOT a good idea. My boss shifted everything by telling me even SHE thought I should take a few days off....so here I am after "staycation day 2" and I'm loving it!

Yesterday was first "time out" - and I decided to stay in jammies till about 3:30 PM. The hubs had to work, so I was still in my jammies when he came home. But an hour before, my cousin and BFF called to ask if I wanted to do happy hour with her....at my very FAVORITE bistro. So YES! I got dressed up and drove over to join her for some good conversation and some GREAT martinis. We solved the problems of the world and then solved some of our own. She followed me home to meet up with Gary who had a lamp for her to buy for her husband to be able to read easily in their bed! It's all good.

I could share a LOT more tonight, but I'm just happy to be back on blogger and able to write a post. Whoa! Could be so SCARY. More soon....in next two months! Cheers!
