SANTORINI. SERIOUSLY.

Good evening (morning) B.


1) Let me apologize right off the bat for writing after a bottle of good Merlot.

B) Take a look at this picture. What do you say, instead of you coming to BLU for a week this summer (because I seriously doubt that either of us could do both) we just meet up here? It's Santorini, Greece. The apartment on the far left of the picture, is $735 a week. (the one with the blue door, two deck chairs and brilliant magenta flower-tree in the front.)

I'm obsessed with it! What do you think? Airfare is dirt cheap. And I'm dead serious.

Sorry I didn't write earlier, as I had hoped I would. The BLU crowd came over for dinner and before I knew it, it was 9:30 and time for shutting down. I was having a great evening until -wait, you guessed it - J came home. I can't even bother to go into it; all I can say is that if I didn't have kids, I would be on a plane tonight, to this island.

Tomorrow I have a dentist appt for whitening trays (something I committed to a month ago and now wonder why I ever thought I could afford that luxury). Then nothing, until basketball at 5:00 - - I'll be happy when this triple-sports overlap thing is over. I do need to get my invites out for my little get-together this weekend - I hate to admit it, but I'm having a sort of Jonas Brothers Party. Kind of. Six girls and I (and one other brave mom) are going to see the JT Concert Movie in 3D. I don't even care that I'm a dork. I'm a hero to a van-load of 2nd graders, including my neice. Even JJ is contemplating going - he won't go unless JK goes, of course, and he won't tell anyone if he goes, but secretly, I know he can't bear to be left out.

Pretty quiet around here. Spent the day doing mundane stuff like ironing and grocery shopping and laundry; God, I need a real job. I'm actually thinking of subbing again; I have to go through that whole process of applying in this district, though, and the thought of updating my resume is so daunting. I should complain, eh? At least I have a job, if I want one. We are so desperate for subs out here, it's not even funny.

Feeling tired and a tipsy...wanting to go to bed, but in my own bed, alone (on an island in Greece...) Think I'll watch another couple episodes of Crossing Jordan and eat some Dibs...drink the rest of this wine...and then it will be Wednesday and we can start all over again.

Glad to hear you were in a better mood tonight and treated yourself to dinner. Kudos to you for doing what you want, not what you might have felt like you should (dinner with the fam). I envy you!

Love,
A
