Today was my first day back at work and man was it weird. I've spent the last approximately two weeks either driving around the Tri-State area or alone with Carl in the woods. Its been nice. I've had a lot of time to just relax and enjoy life. I got to escape into some really good books. I got to play board games which I never get to do and I really love them. I could knit or spin whenever I wanted. I could play video games all day. Basically, I could unleash the dorky kid in me and just be free. It was fun.
And mixed in with all that child-like fun I got to play house with Carl. I know we live together so what do I mean "play house"? Well we had a real kitchen with full-size appliances! We had a table!! God do I miss eating at a table!!! And I got to cook my wonderful man 3 meals a day for a week. It was great. The look on his face as he devoured his meals...priceless!
Oh it was just a very simple weekend. There were no parents or authoritarians to yell at us or otherwise ruin our fun. Domesticity was still novel and enjoyable. It was just easy livin. Maybe that's why this vacation was the hardest one I've ever had to come back from. We got back to basics and it was nice. I really felt normal (whatever that is?) and it was wonderful. We didn't spend a lot of money and we really didn't do all that much. We just enjoyed being. If only every day could be like that.

That really does sound like a lovely vacation.
Sounds like a fabulous vacation. I'm looking forward to my version of that next week. I'm planning on crashing at Crash's and enjoying knitting and reading and cooking. I can't wait to spoil him with cooking.
Hope you are having a great start to the new year. Miss you!
Can I please order one of those vacations? I remember those days of carefree 'eachotherness'. Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter like crazy...but what I wouldn't give for a hubby and me vacation - ahhh, heaven
I wish life could be that way, don't you?
