I know it's been a while since I blogged. According to my Mom, "Mandy hasn't updated hers in forever." So, while I"m teaching her about the magical world of RSS feed readers I figure I"ll update as a teaching tool. Good times.
I have been referring to it as vaca, but that's been too confusing for my father. He was pronouncing it more like kaka for one thing and for another kept asking if I was talking about a sweater. Apparently he was thinking vicuna was vacana or something. We're a special family.
Anyway. I am finally on vacation. I hadn't realized how badly I needed one. I haven't had a real vacation all year. Some days here or there, long weekends for weddings or obligations, a couple weekend getaways... but no real vacation. And I was getting cranky and bitter and angry (more so than usual).
And then I left the office at 3:45 yesterday and birds were singing and colors were brighter and it was like I was in a Disney Movie! I was lugging my giant suitcase through the subway system and onto the JFK Airtrain and had a big smile on my face the whole damn time, texting everyone that I'm on VACATION!!!! Woo! (Yes, I'm a girl who woos.)
So, I'm in NC right now, chilling with the family and preparing to eat my weight in starch tomorrow. And working to keep my dad from eating the pecan pie before tomorrow. Corn casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, rolles, pie... so good.
And then, day after tomorrow, we're all loading up the RV and heading to Wally World! I'm so looking forward to it. I've stayed in the RV at Disney before with the folks, but I've never driven there before. I'm kind of excited. Expect lots of photos and video on flickr soon. Of driving. It's a rock star life.
