So what's up with everyone? I'm at work- it's slow- I'm bored!!!!!!I am at work.  It is my last week here, then I start a new job a week later.  So I get a week of vacation! I think I am mainly going to spend time with my kids and try to get the house organized.  And see some movies!  I am going to try to be careful not to overdo it though.  I figure I will clean & organize one room each day for 1 hour.  I have 9 days in all!  Yay!  I am going to try to be good about getting up at 6 am to adjust myself to a new schedule.  It has been rough lately, I will get 8 hours of sleep and I wake up still exhausted.  But after 8 hours I have too much to get done, I need to get up!  KatieG2008-07-08 11:02:30I'm at work too. It's one of those slow days here too.   I wish I had a week of vactions cause I would be somewhere on a beach with a cool drink in my hand. Yah wishful thinking I know. But I have plenty of time for dreaming rignt now.I think a lot of people must have taken this as a vacation week.  It is REALLY SLOW.  I guess I can't complain with a free week of vacation though, right? :) Of course I won't be paid for that time, but it will work out!

Let's see, if I could be anywhere else right now, I'd choose...sitting on the beach in the Virgin Islands with a mango daquiri and a great novel.  It has been forever since I've had time for a novel...Oh! One with a Favio type on the cover would be nice.It's been 1 year and 2 weeks since I was on a beach in the Bahamas and I NEED AN ISLAND! Ahhh white baby powder sand, turquoise sea, me and a martini.....Oh crap I'll even take a bottled water and my MTX if I can go![QUOTE=wanttobeRAfree]It's been 1 year and 2 weeks since I was on a beach in the Bahamas and I NEED AN ISLAND!

Oh! I'm with you. I love the white sand and the sea. And the cabana boy with
fresh cocktails whenever you want.
Today I am also working, I work from home so I can rest when I need to.
But has been a very busy summer so far. I do love being busy though.
Where is your favorite place maimi?I so love Punta Cana in the Dominica Republic.
We have been going there for years.
I'm currently trapped in the fluorescent jungle, but I am going to make my escape in an hour. I've heard of Punta Cana but haven't been. Is it remote or touristy? My husband keeps threatening to take us all camping.  My idea of roughing it is a hotel with 802.11b wireless instead of 80211.g wireless.

I especially used to like when HE took the kids camping and I stayed home! I got peace & quiet, nothing got dirty because I clean up after myself and I got to watch chick flicks he can't tolerate. Now that was a vacation!

 Depends on where you go. We go to the Catalinia Bavaro where you have more privacy.
Most places east of there are so close together and too many motor boats which makes
the air smell of gas.
There are no motor boats where we stay because of all the coral. We go snorkeling
right off our beach and see some amazing things.And if we want to go someplace
else to snorkel we hire a water taxi to take us and he stays put until we are ready to
go back. It's alot cheaper that going with a group and more private.
I used the wrong word- I don't like sappy movies either LOL! I like funny ones too- like 1st Wives Club, Legally Blonde...
 
Well I'm outta this place! It's quittin' time! I'll pop back on at home. I don't have to go to the business desk tonight. I was there until 10:30 last night  :(

arris- are people on vacation nice or grumpy?I am researching houses in California. Looks like that is where my hubby's job will be transferring us soon. Ugh and the schools stink. No good.I just finished laundry and am thinking about starting supper.  Kind of a dull week around here.  We're just spending the summer quietly and then in September we leave for the beach in Mexico.  Sand, surf, parties, fun, margaritas!  I think about it everyday and want to go now, I say, "now". 
 
Hi Katie, how have you been?  Lindy 
Lucky you Lin- I'd love to live part time like that!Katie!!! Hi!!
 
So good to see you writing. I've been MIA a bit myself, lately, so I don't know if you've been around.  But I have sure been missing you.
 
How is everything?? I need some Katie news.....
 
Much love, Nini
I'm around. Ish. lol

As far as the guests being nice or grumpy - its about 50/50. As usual. Only two months left.


I'm doing alright. Kinda bored in general. Not sure how to take it either. Ever feel like you're in a rut? I think I might be. I dunno. It'll work itself out, it always does. [QUOTE=arriscolwell]I'm around. Ish. lol

Sometimes you need the ruts.  Otherwise you would have nothing to compare the crazy times with!
