FREEDOM BABY YEAH!!

For the first time in I don't know how long, I am actually taking a vacation from work. I'm not going anywhere, but it works out to my benefit.

You see, right now my entire family is away on a mission's trip in Guatemala, leaving me with the entire house to myself. So I figured, why pay $1000 for a hotel room, + food + entertainment for a week, when I have an entire house to myself, food, cable and internet paid for, a car and doing what I want when I want?

So, as of 4pm today, I will officially be on holidays.

And because I'm the uber-cool and awesome person that I am, I'm kicking it off by having my grandma over for dinner. I'm making Eggplant, Feta and Sausage Penne, with italian breadsticks. And once I've eaten my fill and socialized with my awesome grandma? I'll be taking my first bath in years, and pampering myself with the lovely gifts from my Secret Sister (including a bath pillow).

I'm normally not a fan of baths, because you're sitting in your own filth and that just icks me out. But since I just showered this morning, I'm feeling pretty clean, so it won't really be filth I'm sitting in. I intend to curl up with a book, and stay in that tub until I am good and pruny.

And no, there will not be photos documenting tonights adventures. Except maybe the food part.

  2. I love Staycations! Sometimes staying at home is more fun than going away, more relaxing for sure!

  3. I'd love that right now. Some alone time with nothing to but relax. I miss having to think of things to fill my time you know, it seems now my time fills itself without consulting me.

    Must. Book. Holiday.
