Vacation Time
~Pleasant day, pretty sky, life goes on, and here I lie. Not bad, not bad at all.~ Snoopy
As it turns out, I had the best five days off ever. Just the right balance of busy and quiet, friends and family, travel and downtime. After a truly exhausting week at work, I wrapped up my Friday afternoon and headed off to quite a good first date. Call me a loser, but my favorite first date place is still RF O'Sullivans. I think the way a man orders a burger and eats a burger says a lot. So after a delicious dinner of medium rare red meat (the burger, not the date) we walked up to Davis and enjoyed refreshments at the Some Day Cafe.
Saturday morning, got up early, showered and headed to the airport via the new Silver Line. My flight to Philly was flawless and the boys met me at the airport. Kenny had driven in from NYC and I had flown in from Boston and we couldn't find a bar within fifteen miles of Jarad's house showing the Sox Yanks game. Oh well, we spent some time at the local pub watching a myriad of other sporting events... Then back to Jarad's to watch the Phillys.
I had a great time seeing my boys. It really had been far too long since we had all gotten together and made each other laugh. We made a few decisions - Vegas in the spring and we again solidified our plans for Beijing in 2008 (where we will drink shampoo). It did wonders for me to spend a few days with Kenny and Jarad... I am sincerely appreciative of the escape!
Monday and Tuesday I spent with the parents, getting pampered with home cooking and parental lovin' .
I am refreshed, awake, and with new perspective on life, I am ready to move ahead (boldly). No more living in the past. I realized a lot this weekend. I am not afraid to move on from unhealthy relationships, to break connections with people who squash my happiness, or enjoy the company of those whom I enjoy. I would have to say - in the next six months you will see big, bold things happening in my life. I am ready, bring it on.
