Long Weekend
This is not a post about travel. It is a post about a lack thereof.
In my last-Thursday post, I discussed my desperate need to get away for a few days. Well, I’m sad to report that this just didn’t happen. Why? Blame it on a backup of work, unforeseen circumstances, and that responsibility that comes with having a husband and a home, but it just wasn’t in the cards for President’s weekend.
I had big plans. I wanted to finally get to the Met, as I’ve never been (and I wanted to conquer my dislike of NYC). I wanted to visit a friend who lives not-even-that-far-away whilst doing generally touristy things in Philly. I wanted to experimentally educationally travel, so I’d have some content for my new educational travel blog. But that’s all going to have to wait for another day.
What did I do, then? I took a break from working on my various projects and took myself out for lunch. I cleaned my entire house, had a slumber party, and worked on my book proposal. I visited my grandparents, went to a home show, and hung out with my mom. I made a nice dinner for my husband, did two loads of laundry, and finalized plans for my next trip. All in all, not a bad four day weekend.
However, I did encourage readers to post mean comments if I didn’t get out of town. So–have at it!
Sounds like you “done good” girl!!! I think you made the right choice not to run off to the big city. Hubby deserved the good dinner.
Think of it this way, the money you saved by not going anywhere can be put toward one of your other trips! Saving money is *never* easy, but is sounds like you had a nice weekend anyway.
