Gimme a V, gimme an A, gimme a C-A-

T-I-O-N!

My vacation begins today! A wide open schedule and nine days of mother-daughterness!

I'm working on random house stuff this morning, then will meet a friend for lunch en route to Ann Arbor.

Lizz and I don't have any plans at present to go anywhere - other than the youth canoe trip next weekend. But I think we're both looking forward to hanging out, sleeping in, watching movies, doing some girly stuff and just all-around catching up. It's like we're each at least a quart low and need a fillerup with one another and our family here. It's also our big breather before the busy fall schedule takes over in just a few weeks.

I can't wait.
