Vacation!

I'll be gone for a couple of weeks. Normally this would not be such a big deal, but my sister Lisa is turning 40 on February 1st and so, this is a big deal! We've been planning this trip for a couple of years now, we had to save many pennies, and we're both very ready. We're going to One & Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas and while she's excited about things like food and 24 hour butlers, I'm excited about the gardens and going sailing. I love sailing, of all things, even scuba diving, sailing is my favorite. She's excited about sailing too, if I don't say that I will get an angry comment I'm sure.

Today is all about getting a haircut, laying out a zillion articles of clothing and figuring out how to pack them all. It wasn't a good day when the angry bee appeared because I also realized most of my nice clothes were also not going to fit. *cry* Dresses do, dresses are good! I did spend an entire day shopping (I was chained to my sister who forced me to shop). I hate shopping. Shopping is not my friend. I am a kamikaze shopper, I go I get what I want, I leave, I'm done. Or I buy it on the interweb ;) I got blisters and she wouldn't feed me until I picked out some clothes. She said this was all "pay back" HRRMM Did I say I hate shopping? Another thing I hate, at least right now, is three way mirrors. We won't go there right now.

I'm not taking a laptop, I don't know if my phone will work (probably not) and even LT Dan says this is all a good thing, I need a vacation. I will miss him - even though we can't be together all the time we talk all the time so that part is going to be very strange. It's less time than some of his field things though so I'll survive.

When I come home I'm going to learn about making my blog "prettier" and see if I can't add some photo things and some other things. Not too many people read this, but some do so I'll try and show more of who I am and what I do. Carry on!

Edit: Wait, I forgot to tell you, I'm taking these books, one I'm already reading Here on Earth, and the other I keep seeing women at airports and at the beach with so I decided on a whim at the bookstore to give Eat, Pray, Love a try. I'll let you know.
