Maybe cabin fever is getting to all of us. The weather has been so bad the past two weeks, and I’ve been sick for half of that.
So imagine my surprise when I didn’t have to cook dinner today – my son did it all and it was delicious! He cooked a nice lasagna, a green salad, and cheesy garlic bread! What a nice treat – I could get used to this!
I was so happy to hear from my sister that she got a new (to her) car! She just got a 2000 Honda Accord. She’s needed a newer model family car for a long time; she’s been “making do” with older, less reliable cars for a very long time.
We belong to a very large, extended family, and we are all so very excited for her, to have this new car! We want to help her make it as great an experience as possible; she deserves to have a few nice things! Life has thrown quite a few curveballs at her, and this is something nice we can try to help “keep nice” with a few things here and there.
I’ve got an idea stuck in my head, and I can thank my kid sister for that. She had brought up some time ago the idea of a few of us close female family member taking a holiday trip to some place nice and warm, like Maui for example. She keeps talking about this and it has really gotten my excited about doing something like this maybe for the next holiday season, after this year’s one that is up and coming quicker than I’d like it to. This year no one has any extra money for presents or a trip and a stay at one of the plush Maui Condos that we have been talking and dreaming of so quite some time now.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a nice relaxing holiday season for a change. Instead of dealing with all the stress and madness that takes place during those crazy months that so many people and families get put through each and every year. Sitting on a tropical beach, soaking up the sun, people watching and drinking one of those drinks with the little umbrella in it sounds so much better than dealing with the wet, cold, nasty weather that comes along during those holiday months.
