I'm on vacation!!

As of 1pm today I officially started my vacation. And not a moment too soon, either. I had dreams of taking the entire summer off but decided that would be financially irresponsible and somewhat reckless of me. God, I can't remember the last time that I had an entire summer to do absolutely nothing in particular. I think I might have been twelve. OK, let's not do the math, but I am MUCH older than that now.

Gone are the days of complaining that there isn't anything to do. What I would give to have that time back. If I only knew then what I know now. That only makes what play time I have now all the sweeter.

So, you ask...what will I do with my precious two weeks of freedom? I can tell you that I will not be answering the bloody phone, and I will be steering clear of work. That's for damn sure. I have three new books to devour. I have a house full of crap that needs to be purged. And in between there will be time to run, to swim, to bike, to live, to laugh...to reconnect. To recharge. To think. To plan.

And I think that the blog might take a new direction. It was intended as a way of keeping family and friends up to speed with our adoption plans. Silly. We innocently thought that we would have all kinds of things to post about. Sadly we do not. Our plans haven't changed. Our dreams remain intact. Our hearts still wait. And wait and wait and wait. And that is all the news that we have. The wait remains. So until we have news on the adoption front the blog will be more like a "chat about nothing in particular".

I wish that I could say that they will be really articulate and well written prose. I am envious of the posts written by Kristian. Yes, KV. You have the skill. You keep us wanting more. But I am off on another tangent. Stay tuned folks. The posts may not appear on a regular basis but they will appear.
