13 reasons I'm looking forward to getting away for a few days

• This house and I, we've seen much too much of one another in the last few months. The summer weather is not conducive to getting out and doing things, it's too damn hot, or perversely too damn wet!
• The kiddo and I, we've seen much too much of one another, lol. He's going with us, but a change of venue, with no loud computer games and blaring t.v is going to be good.
• It means I can put off wallpapering the bathroom for another 4 days :)
• Other than one rip to Chicago, in 5 years I've not left the State of Florida, unless it was to go home to NZ. I'm not really succeeding at seeing the country -- unlike hubby who's been all over the show, even if it was for work.
• I need a break from writing and sewing, I've not been enjoying either the last week - but that's PMS for you, I was NOT a good person to be around last night, things just went from bad to worse and there was no chocolate to be found *sob*
• I love visiting historic locations, and Savannah is pretty damn historic. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the old south. Though I have a feeling I might turn around and tell hubby we are moving 2 hours north :)
• My camera and I are going to get cozy -- expect to be inundated with photos next week.
• Being able to spend an afternoon by the pool reading -- when FB's at work, I have to get in the pool with kiddo, needless to say neither eBook nor paper fairs well in that situation!
• I'm hoping the new scenery will spark some new writing ideas.
• Shopping! Although we are on a tight budget for this trip, but I might be able to squeeze a little something out of the stone.
• No housework. Yaaaay!
• Will try out some local eateries and maybe find somewhere with good food that's not expensive (ala The Melting Pot where I went with the GF's on Monday, tres expensive!)
• Family time. Though we haven't been anywhere this summer, we haven't connected much -- unless it's been with our respective computers, which reminds me, must book kiddo in to get his eyes tested *sigh* a mothers jobs are never done!

Suuuperbowwwwl Sunday!

Yeah, football...so what?

Can you tell I'm a bit ho hum on the whole idea? But hubby's making his wings, he cleaned up around the tv like I asked, I've got a new book to read - so I'm happy!

Got back rather a lot later than planned from our little girls weekend away. A flat tire on the I-10 will do that for ya. Especially when the can foam stuff doesn't work, the air compressor has had the attachment stolen off it, and you have to pony up to Walmart in the middle of nowhere and hang around waiting for a new tire.

At least the woman who passed up was kind enough to point it out, it wouldn't have been pretty to have a blow out at 80-90 mph on the interstate!

Didn't get much done of the weekend to tell the truth. A few scrapbook pages, no writing done - didn't even crack open the laptop! - althoug I did get some editing done. One of my girlfriends got curious while I was off reading Matthew Rielly's latest action adventure Seven Deadly Wonders, and read of what I have so far (what I had been editing on hardcopy). I heard an outraged shriek from the other room when she got to the last word.

"WHAT! You can't just have finished it right there! Stop reading that other book and get back to writing yours! This is good, you at least need to write the end of this sex scene!...please?...just for me?...you know I'm going to be phoning your ass every day until you get this finished!...pretty please?"

Maybe Accidentally Were? is sounding as good as I had hoped!
