How to take a vacation
It made me
feel rejuvenated.
 "About time!"
How I did it: I called in a took a week off from work; I hadn't had one in a while. I planned it so that my vacation from my internship was the same week, just to get those few extra days of doing nothing in. We went swimming at the rec center and to the beach every day but one. I started teaching my boyfriend how to ice skate, probably the most entertaining thing we did. Just one more day of freedom left, then back to the grind.

How I did it: Basically in no time at all. We said, "let's do it." and we did it. And we had some amazing experiences along the way. I also did a lot of pre-planning, to be fair. I had the whole trip mapped out, with places to sleep and sights we were particularly interested in seeing along the way, as well as a complete budget. But of course, we didn't stick to any of it. Yes! Read how I did it…

How I did it: My fiance's father lives in New York so we were able to go visit him while I was on Spring Break. We were able to get relatively cheap plane tickets (Continental is AWESOME, btw) and since we had a place to stay and food to eat, everything was fairly inexpensive. We were able to spend more money on souvenirs and experiences. It was a lot of fun. Read how I did it…

How I did it: My boyfriend and I saved up our cash and took a week long trip to Florida while I was on winter break. We stayed with his sister and brother-in-law which saved a lot of cash and was a ton of fun! It was in the mid sixties to lower seventies the whole time, and Floridians thought it was cold, but we Chicagoans were enjoying the beaches and not at all missing the -25 degree windchill back home that week. Great idea, great fun.. nice and … Read how I did it…

I haven’t worked in four days! Oh, the horror. I think the library is still standing without me. I’m having a blast though. I met one of my long-time online friends for the first time. The boyfriend and I are pretty sure we’ve found an apartment, but we can’t move in until the first of September. I’ve found someone to sublet my current room to for the two months it will take to transfer the lease to his name (thanks to my awesome land lady). I’ve also gotten loads of reading done! So far a relaxing and productive staycation.

Perfect weather. Perfect sand. Perfect view.
My only disappointment? Too short!
On the road again...

I’m heading out with my daughter to the annual caving convention near San Antonio, Texas. The forecast is not for my favorite kind of weather- hot and humid (although it’s supposed to be 5-10 degrees cooler than this last week), but otherwise I’m looking foreward to the trip. We probably won’t do much caving but there are a lot of other things to do in this area and the convention is always a good party! (I’ve been to 3 of them previously). This year the national convention is being held in conjunction with the International Congress of Speleology, which is only held every 4th year. There are people registered to attend from 48 countries outside of the US!
It should be a great time- see you all in a week :)

Long Time Coming

I’m taking a vacation. Well, more like a staycation, but I won’t be working and that’s really all I care about. One week. No work. The lady I’m “shadowing,” for lack of a better word, on my internship is taking her vacation next week too. Which means no work and no internship. A full week, workless and kidless!
Lots of reading. Lots of sleep. Lots of swimming. Lots of ice skating. Lots of productiveness. Eh, who am I kidding. The last one won’t happen, but the others will. I can’t wait. Just have to make it through tomorrow morning and I’m home free. We’re going to Revere Beach Saturday afternoon as well, to see the sandcastles. Killing two birds with one stone.
The bags are packed

I tried hard not to overpack but being compulsive, I’m forced to pack for the “what if’s” in life…
Per weather.com, it’s going to be Sunny, 80 degrees and very little chance of rain the entire week.
Now I just have to be patient for another 12 hours.
Anticipation is a killer….
