Today was a really good day. I didn’t do anything new or exciting. Just feeling happy, loved and grateful.
I’m off from work until a week from Tuesday, which is awesome and so badly needed. My hubby and I are going alone to my family’s lake house in Massachusetts on Tuesday and coming back Sunday. Tomorrow I will get out the suitcase and start packing.
Somehow over the 10 years we have been married, I have started packing for both of us lol. He’s slick that hubby of mine, no doubt. It happened so gradually, I just noticed it! So of course I asked him how the hell it happened. He said well you’re so good at that lol. But I won’t do his toiletries. You have to draw the line somewhere right? Heehee
Please don’t be alarmed if I’m MIA for a few days next week. We will be back home probably late Sunday night. There is no cable and no internet up there so we will be off the grid lol. There is a tv and dvd player so we can watch movies at night. We will probably go through a little withdrawal but then it will be really nice and relaxing. We’re planning a few day trips to local museums and places of interest. The Norman Rockwell Museum is 30 minutes from the house and I haven’t been there in 20 years. Hubby has never been so it will be fun.
I went to the hair salon and got my roots done and some highlights. You know it’s time when your hubby (who always says u don’t need highlights) says wow u have a tiny bit of grey lol. My hair is long, curly and strawberry blonde but since I hit 40, I have grey!!! I guess I’m lucky as I have my Dad’s hair and he went grey at 30 lol. My colorist asked if she could take some photos of me and my hair for a book she’s doing. I said sure of course. I’m not a model but I do have nice hair π
I’ve read so many inspirational and helpful posts the last few days. I’ve been the mad post liker lol. I really appreciate all the support, kindness and love from so many bloggers. It is truly a gift that I hope I never take for granted. So thank you!
Hi, enmagc. I’m sorry I’m so late getting back to you. There never seem to be enough hours in the day. I’ve just read your post – and I’m still smiling. You sound just like my edest daughter about your hair (she’s 42). she’s always been fair, so she hasn’t found any grey yet, but she’s paranoid that she might do soon. Now I’m rambling, so I’ll stop it. Loved the post, and I hope you have a great holiday/vacation (I’m English). I hope to read a few more of your posts soon. Thank you so much for following me. It’s a pleasure to follow you back. Millie.

My friends and I call this the “Paris Hilton Effect” wherein if you do something badly enough, and are just inept enough, then someone else will do it for you. I do it with cooking (I always pretend like I don’t know how to hold the knife while cutting vegetables and he can’t watch me nearly lose a finger so he takes over; he does this with packing and forgetting a couple essentials on a trip or two and with various cleaning tasks around the house, so I just do them myself rather than check over his work). It’s really a brilliant arrangement when you look closely. Ha. Enjoy your much needed getaway! xx

Have fun. I pack for my wife – I’m not sure how that got started either. She lays it out, but I literally pack the suitcase. She says I do it better. I’m trying to lose the job.
