So now that the pool is looking perfect and my plants are all thriving, Martin and I decided, pretty much today, that we will try to go to Hawaii on Sunday.
Are we insane? Do we not think things through? can I think of about a dozen people who will be suddenly mad or jealous or rampaging about this decision? Answers to all: yes.
We are currently racing around trying to find a room on the "Sweet Fancy Moses This Island is Freaking Expensive Garden Isle of Kauai." That is it's new official name. I've decided.
I have decided to start a new job on the 14th of August. I disliked my old one too much to even talk about anymore. I've moved way on. So the near start date kind of has precipitated a need to get out of Illinois.
On a happy note, my Granny turned 80 this past weekend and we managed to get to Pontotoc MS for a quick visit and a surprise. I also spent a very short ( too short) visit with my parents in Pensacola. If you are reading this from Pensacola and are again mad or whatever that I didn't call you, well, I was only there for a couple of days.
I have also forgotten how much I like Pensacola. I find the Chicago area almost too big to get anything done or to meet anyone remotely simpatico. All of the women on my block (save one) don't seem to know what to say to me since I don't have kids or pets. Like I'm a freak...wait don't answer that.
