It's Over . . .

Well my vacation is over. I'm heading back to work this afternoon for a closing shift so I've been counting down all morning as I see the last minutes of my vacation slipping away. It was a good week - we just kind of puttered around the house, went for a lot of drives, visited my brother-in-law and niece and nephew, hung out with the girls, and went out to eat a lot. We also got some new music software and installed in on the computer so now I can finally record stuff! It was good to have the week off with Chris as it's pretty rare that we both have time off at the same time. And it was really good to be able to sleep in every day and just be able to be at home and enjoy the nice weather and do whatever we wanted!

So now the countdown will soon begin to our summer vacation! We're thinking of taking two weeks off in August, or maybe we'll do one week in July and one in August. My parents are having a little family reunion in August so we'll definitely be heading down to the farm for a couple of days in August to hang out with the Brimley clan. It's also our two-year wedding anniversary on August 12th and it's my year to plan it so I better get started!

Maria Shriver

Did anyone catch Oprah today? Maria Shriver was on talking about her book "Just who will you be?" and it was an excellent show. I've never really known a lot about Maria Shriver but she comes across as a very wise and well-rounded woman and the book seems like something all women could relate to. It's about figuring out who you really are and who you want to be and how to get there. The show actually intrigued me enough to start searching for more information about her and see if there's a biography or autobiography on her I can get my hands on. Definitely seems to be a woman one can look up too and learn from.

Need . . .Vacation . . . . . . now!

I know I've been neglecting this little 'ole blog of mine. They say when it rains it pours and sure enough all aspects of my life seem to get really busy all at once. I only have 3 days left at work before Chris and I take a week long vacation though, so then I'll actually have time to post something meaningful on here. We're not going anywhere (I wish), just chillin' at home, gonna watch us some movies and gain about 10 pounds. Awesome.
