Leaving for some R&R

Happy Fourth of July everyone:-) This remains one of my favorite holidays, if only because it is an excuse for a long weekend and a party in the summer. And that is always a good thing in my book. I doubt anyone is reading today, but I have some time before I leave and won't write anything until at least Monday...so you will all have five days to read this. And, ahem...comment. I will probably be able to approve comments once or twice a day while I am gone, but I don't plan on writing.

Thanks for your kind words via comment and email and IM yesterday. Unfortunately, I am not in a general "Oh, woe is me" kinda funk...it is something specific. Something that I will go into when it is over, which will hopefully be soon. I don't feel a whole lot better today but at least I am more well rested. I really crashed last night and slept pretty well, so I am moderately refreshed. Smoking Hot Roommate came home around dinnertime, and we went out for some people-watching, appetizers and drinks. It was a beautiful night and the company was absolutely top notch. She always makes me feel better:-)

She just left a little while ago for the beach. Big Sis and the Brain Surgeon have been down there since Friday night and have had Munchkin, and now SHR and the Rocket Scientist are taking their own little vacation and will keep an eye on the little one. I am extraordinarily lucky to have such a big group of babysitters. But I miss her, too:-( I sent a hug down for her:-) I'm such a dork...

The Boy has been camping with a couple friends someplace south of Asscrack, VT and should be here shortly. Once he cleans up, we are gonna hit the road to see his parents. I don't even want to guess how bad he is gonna smell...lol. I'm willing to clean him up, though...hee hee.

I am going to have a much longer and more serious post on Monday (probably). But in the meantime, that's about it...I hope everyone has a good holiday and tries to get a little bit of time off. Enjoy the fireworks and the barbecues and the family and all the stuff that you like about life:-)

And if you see Munchkin, give her a hug from me:-)
