A few weeks ago my husband asked if I wanted to join him on a business trip to Bozeman, Montana. A full week without kids, work or distractions, I hesitated, due to the fact that R & R is an activity that normally gives me a nervous twitch. But, it all came together with my in-laws moving in, my business partner watching the shop & I am on day 3 of official "doing nothing."
So here's what I have done: (in no particular order)
1. Strolled thru the local Wal Mart in search of cheap booze & listened to other people's kids whining & screaming
2. Slept in past 10am & didn't get dressed until noon
3. Went for a walk without kids or dogs
4. Drove thru mountains & lapped up the scenery
5. Joined my husband for after work cocktails, then a leisurely dinner
6. Had wine at noon, 1pm, 1:45pm....one afternoon (you get the picture) while eating chips & watching bad daytime TV
7. Drafted preface to my book (ok, I had to do something!)
8. Sat at Starbuck's & read in peace, while again witnessed parents with whinning children
9. Had a fabulous facial/massage - think I orgasmed on the table:)
Ah, so now it is wine time & The View might be on, then maybe a nap.
Take time my modern, crazy Type A+++ ladies, you might be shocked how much you enjoy it!
Love from the mountains, xo vagi
