Life Happens

I know, I've been AWOL, but I'm not going to apologize. Last week was another late-night-at-the -office weeks so I took advantage of a brief lull and spent the weekend (and Monday, which my kids had off) at home with the family. Doin' nothing but family stuff. Cuddling up to the hubby, playing with some of the worlds cutest children, not worrying about any obligations for a few days.

As I come off that blissful retreat, it might take a few days to get entirely back into the swing of things.

But, hey, a girl's gotta have her priorities.

The Perfect Visit

I should continue my series on favorite characters, but I want to say so long to a perfect visitor. My sister came to stay with me last week. No kids. No husband. No agenda. No plans.

I made no plans either. I took the week off. That was it.

It was perfect.

We went to dinner a few times.

We shopped a little.

We sang karaoke (I must get better CDs).

We watched a few movies.

We talked about writing and families and children and her classes and my work.

We played on computers.

We blogged.

She worked out a few times. :)

We complained about the ridiculous heat.

We talked about our husbands.

We compared views on many core values that we happen to have in common.

We read tarot.

We played with my kids.

I didn't take one damn picture.

She talked to my husband.

She reminded us we don't take enough cruises considering we live within spitting distance of Galveston. (I.e. none)

My sister is a beautiful, wonderful, versatile, and multi-faceted individual. I had a wonderful time last week.

I love you, Sunshine. I miss you already.
