Once a year I like to take some time to myself to get away from work and focus on me again. This year when I got my vacation hours and discovered I was up to 135 hours for the year I figured taking the month off would be a great idea. It's not often I get to go where I want, when I want with my work schedule. I have a few little trips in this month starting tomorrow when I leave for Seattle with my Mom for 3 days. It's not often we get to go away just the two of us without any family along for the ride. I have been looking forward to this trip for a few months now and it's finally here. We are staying in a boutique hotel right in the downtown area where we can walk and shop and eat and just have some good Mother/Daughter time. I like to think I will be able to be careful about what I eat but Seattle is a total food city and at heart I am a major foodie. I love trying new places with my Mom because she has the same appreciation for good food that I do. But I am determined to still eat healthy.
Next on my month of "me" time besides finishing up the painting and redecorating of my condo is a Girl's weekend away for my birthday in Victoria with my closest friends and my sister. This is bound to be a weekend of bad food and too many martinis and wine but I am ok with that. I have a month off in which to hit the gym and not be upset about a few days of bad eating.
After that weekend, I am off to Edmonton (the snow better be gone) to see my gorgeous Goddaughters and their parents. Godchild #3 should be there when I get there and I can hardly wait for some hugs from the girls and baby cuddles. All in all, a good month off with lots of time to have some fun with my friends here and get my workout schedule ingrained in my mind so it's just something that occurs without me thinking about it.
