Aaahhhh

Deep breath. I love parent getaways. Unfortunately, they are just too few and too far between. We're vegetating at the lovely Salishan Lodge. The weather is beautiful. I'm sitting out on the little balcony overlooking the lush green manicured golf course. There is no one around and here I am out in the fresh sea air, smokin' a stogie, and blogging on my laptop. Ah life is good. I could almost imagine that I have no parental obligations whatsoever, except for the nightmares I have of arriving back to my parents' house without Vaughn's special surprise of a dead crab. I kid you not. That is what he wants as his payoff for enduring my parents while we get a much needed break. And I am also not kidding about having a nightmare last night about arriving back empty handed.

Today's to-do list:
Get dead crab.
