Destination: Reality

In case you didn't notice, I've been out of circulation lately. For the past 2 weeks, I've been on the East Coast with the humidity and the bugs... and my awesome family. I spent a week with them at the beach which was totally awesome and a week in Pennsylvania with my parents and nephew. I'm sure I will post more in depth about these 2 weeks later, but for now, we'll suffice it to say that (in the words of my nephew) it was AWESOME!

Tonight, though, I'm leaving on a jet plane and heading back to my hubby, my doggies, and a much colder ocean. But back to the beautiful weather of So Cal, as well. Last year I took a visit to the East Coast around this time, and I will probably never forget stepping out of the airport when I got back to San Diego. It was literally like taking a breath of fresh air.

Currently, my mind is racing. It has been a little bit over a month since school let out and I officially declared myself free of stress and any kind of schedule. I guess a month is my limit on laziness because all I can think about right now are all of the hundreds of things I want to do/feel like I need to do when I get back home.

I have exactly 2 weeks to accomplish my long list of to-dos, though, because in early August Mike's parents and sister will be arriving at our house for a visit and only 2 days after they leave my sister and her fam will be arriving to take their place in our guest room. Shortly after that, school will start back up and my own personal Shangrila (did I spell that right? I'm much too lazy to check) will officially be down the drain.

I really work best with a deadline, though, so I figure having 2 weeks to get done everything I want to do this summer is just about right.

For now, though, I must go and cherish my last few hours with the fam before I get on that jet plane and fly back to reality.

Ciao.
