I won it. A free trip. Real people actally do win those things.
It was heavenly.
Normally, I'd post a photo here of the dream holiday (& hopefully I'd still demonstrate good judgement by refraining from posting my topless photos) but alas, they are not installed on my new computer yet, so you'll just have to use your imagination. Well, for my boobies anyway. For the resort, you can go here.
No, I'm talking about another kind of holiday: the internet holiday - a break from the web, and from blogging and reading blogs, while I wrestle my to do list down to a manageable size; and also, while I evict the awful, cranky bitch who is sitting here impersonating me. She really sucks.
I've already tried the level one remedy: 2L of top notch ice cream chased with a quality romance novel, but that was the equivalent of a band-aid for a chainsaw injury, so more drastic measures are needed.
I'll leave you with a transcript of a conversation Roo & I had about RV's. Expect me when you see me.
Hornblower: Have you seen how bloody expensive those things are? I mean, who would buy that?
Roo: Well, I guess it's those people who have already done Hawaii, done the all inclusives, done all that, and they're bored and want a different type of holiday.
Hornblower: (incredulous silence)
Roo: What, you wouldn't get bored?
Hornblower: I'm trying to imagine it and I've concluded I could easily spend 6 months at a Mexican resort with Ricardo, Marco and Juan serving me drinks and giving me massages. And then, after the 6 months, I might get just a teeny bit restless, and then I think I'd try an all inclusive resort somewhere in Scandinavia, where Leif, Erik and Gunther can serve me drinks and give me massages.
Bored? Bored? How can people get bored with that? What kind of sickos are they?
Roo: So you don't want an RV?
Hornblower: Not unless Ricardo, Marco, Juan, Leif, Erik and Gunther are all in it. And even then, it's a tough sell because I'd rather be sitting on a beach or in a hot tub. No. I've decided. No RV.

I hope you are feeling more yourself already!
I'm with you on the RV. My idea of a good vacation involves either a nice hotel or B&B in a quiet, scenic location (not an RV park) where efficient, unobtrustive people clean my room, cook for me, and wash the dishes. In an RV, I'd still be cleaning and cooking and shopping, for crying out loud! I don't get it.
I just spent the weekend "camping" at an RV resort with my inlaws. I don't get it either.
Have a great break!

Hey, I've got one of those, too!
Hope you enjoy your holiday, even if Ricardo, Marco, Juan, Leif, Erik and Gunther aren't a part of it.

Um, she's here too. Maybe she does time travel? I'm frustrated with the band aid approach as well. Enjoy your break while I think about that same idea.
Look forward to your return!
I'd go visit Ricardo, unless his talented hands can also finesse RV sewage systems and he wants a holiday, too. I just had my first-ever RV trip, child and aged parent in tow. I had to do EVERYTHING. Twice, due to lack of prior acquaintance with sewer valves, I accidently released a gargantuan mound of human excrement under, but practically beside, the RV. The first time it happened, the neighbours were dining just four feet away. My second sewage spill (at a different RV park) netted me a neighbour, who, to my great mortification, popped over to assist, evidently oblivious to the fact that, as he fiddled with the sewer valve, his ungloved hands were hovering over. . . Enough said. Call Ricardo.
Ah, I hear you on the RV.
When DH tried to convince me, I questioned why we would want to cram all of life necessites into an even smaller space and drive around in a lumbering, gas guzzling whale?
He said for the adventure.
Hmmm...sounds like a misadventure to me. ;)
Thanks for the American Title congratulations, Hornblower. Greatly appreciated. :)
You're missed. I hope you are having a lovely autumn, though, and thoroughly enjoying your home and your family!
Kiss those babies!
