my ideal gift would be:
a weekend alone in my house
with no one to answer to, sleeping in my own bed (actually...i'd like pat here at night...to eat dinner with and sleep with...i have a hard time falling asleep with him gone...but other than that i want to be alone), and just able to do whatever i want.
{it's kind of weird to me how i crave alone time so much these days. i use to be such a people person. now i'm always looking to my next few minutes of "alone" time - which is typically either at 5:30 am when i drag myself out of bed, or maybe when i take a shower or use the bathroom if i set them up with a show and a snack!}
some bonuses would be: fridge stocked with chick-fil-a diet coke, a new worship CD to listen to, a new "fun" cd to dance to, a new book to read for fun, a new book to read for challenge - but none of those are necessary
what??
you didn't ask what my ideal gift would be??
oh, sorry! :-)

That sounds like the best gift ever! I would absolutely love that gift.
oh my gosh. me too! I always say that.
not likely to happen for me anytime soon...
I miss you!
And, I totally agree...I'm thinking about checking myself into a hotel some weekend.
Now, you have me thinking...I think I know what I want for my bday!
Mike's been gone for work for two weeks...I've been so jealous....he hasn't had to cook, clean, or listen to loud noises...must be awesome! :-)
It all sounds good except the part about being in your own house. I don't think I could do that. I would be thinking about a wall that needed painted, laundry that needed washing (or folding or putting away) or some other chore I have sadly neglected for way too long. I think I would want my alone time at a beach house where I had absolutely no responsibility for the care of it. Yeah, that sounds good!
so with you on the 'used to be a people person now all I look for is alone time'
that sounds eerily like my dream vacation - just insert Dr Pepper or Coffee and give me a journal!!!
i'm with megan - i would need to leave my house or i would do chores. i want a cabin in the mountains and a never ending supply of decaf nonfat vanilla lattes. :)
Sounds great. Can I come join you? ;-)
ladies...i truly want to be in my house. even (especially!) doing some of those "chores" (more like projects...sewing...painting...organizing pictures...) that i never get to. with a bit of relaxing, reading, sleeping thrown in! am i weird??
i'm with you...i mean, i don't want to be with you during your ideal gift. i mean, i want to be by myself in my house without anyone else so i can really relax, work on ryan's baby book, and maybe, just maybe do something else i might lay my eyes on.
oh, but no diet coke. iced mint tea is my knew drink of choice.
when is dad and kids campout again?!
i think its b/c we have little people clawing at us all the time!!
