Gettin’ Away

Filed under: Baby JJ,Holidays,Life,Travel — gardener @ 4:29 am

It looks like Marcel and I are finally going to take that little vacation that we’ve been talking about doing for months now. Even though we have our vacation for this winter booked and ready to go, I have been itching to ‘get out of dodge’ for a while and just relax.

If all goes according to plan (we’ll know this coming week), then we’ll be heading away the weekend after Mother’s Day for a long weekend (Friday-Monday). I’ve found the location of where we’ll be staying and we’ll be taking JJ with us. We went back and forth on the idea for a while, since it will mean taking him literally everywhere we go, because I don’t think it’s fair to him to leave him alone (even in his crate) in a unfamiliar place, but ultimately I knew it would be fun for him.

I also realized that while we would be away that we would be passing close to the town where JJ’s breeder lives and since it’s time for him to have his seasonal ‘plucking’ and grooming session, I’d love to make an appointment and have her do it. Her prices are much cheaper than the lady we were going to use in the area, and since we wouldn’t be going out of our way to drive there, we’d actually be saving money by doing so.

That’s our plan at the moment, and I’m so ready to get away. I’ll have my mother in law check in on Mister, although he’ll be fine because I’ll make sure he has enough food and fresh water to keep him for a few days. I know he gets lonely though. I’m excited about this little get away, and since I’ve been saving change for months now, we have enough saved that it should pay for the entire weekend getsaway, provided we don’t buy anything extravagant. I’m excited and soo ready!

Snoozin’ On The Train

If gypsies steal my “eye” and use it to write really wacky things on my blog, you’ll know that the toothpicks I have holding my eyelids open have failed and I’ve fallen asleep. YAWWWWNN!!!

Making the Most of Each Day

Filed under: Food for Thought,Life,Things I Love,Travel — gardener @ 1:49 am

It seems as though the days have been flying by at warp speed lately. I actually thought that the time I had off this past week would somehow allow me more time in the day since I wasn’t working, and in reality it did give me those hours, but I packed them full with many other things, such as spending days with friends and with Marcel.

I’ve also been spending more time outside with JJ, because the weather was too fabulous to keep me indoors for long. I have to admit that I haven’t spent much time on the elliptical, but what I have lost on the elliptical, I’ve made up for with walking and a little jogging.

Marcel and I are also planning a weekend away, and I’ve been looking at various locations. I think I’ve found where I’d like to go, which will put us close to several places that I’d like to see, plus it will be great for taking walks with JJ, who I think we’ll take along with us.

I realized as I was typing this that today is May 2nd, and the anniversary of my grandma’s death. I still miss her to this day. I love the ‘wiz’dom that comes with getting older, but what I don’t care for is losing those we love. I know she would be proud of me though- in fact, I believe both grandma’s would.
