V-A-C-A-TION!!!

Hi, Amanda.

What I heard in your post was peace...I'm happy that it is done, best case scenario, and that in the process you and J fell in love again. Your post made me smile start to finish. Thanks for that.

Today is the day I head to sunny So Cal. W woke me up a little earlier than I would have liked, but now that I'm awake I know I can use the time. It gives me a chance to write and a chance to clean a little. Coming home to a clean house will be much nicer than walking into a disaster area.

Funny, but last night I found myself at Outback for my 10 dollar dinner that with wine and tip--of course--is significantly more than 10 dollars. I knew that I should hang on to the money for California, but I just couldn't stay in. After I came home and printed my boarding passes, it really hit me that I was on vacation, and it was nice out and I felt like I just had to go out, had to celebrate. And lucky me, my two favorite servers were there. I had a good meal and a good time. Today I hardly regret spending the money.

I hope you had a delightful and romantic dinner for two last night, and that you have a great week. I will definitely call you poolside.

Love you!
Barb
