this one is about having all kinds of things to think about

i left work thinking...do i go to golden spoon or target? i wanted that frozen yogurt so badly i could taste it but...i also really wanted these cute t's that were on sale.

so i went for the t's.

i like to build up my golden spoon craving until it is unbearable and requires a good binge session. and hopefully on that fateful day they have raspberry. holy good gracious...

so i went for the t's. i got pink, navy, white and brown. each has an adorable print on it. my fav at the moment is the brown with a neighborhood print on it. -close second, the white with navy sailboats sailing along the bottom.-

i also got some cotton skirts while at taaaaayr-git. (ever see kristen wiig do the target lady on snl? oh my favorite.) i am so excited about our trip to maui. i can't believe it's coming up so quickly...

when ben and i were planning our vacation we couldn't decide which island. what kind of trip we wanted. did we want to feel secluded or amongst the crowd? did we want nightlife? did we want a hotel room? a condo? ocean front? ocean view? a place we'd been or a completely new experience?

*sigh*

sometimes there are too many options. but eventually, narrowing down priorities, we decided on maui. when we first went together in may 2005 it was the most romantic trip ever. e.v.e.r. i don't think it was even matched by our honeymoon. but we didn't have the boys yet. i wasn't in school yet. and we'd just moved in together a couple of months earlier. speaking of our honeymoon, we went to maui for the last 5 days of that trip as well. but it seemed so different. it was HOT. way hotter there in august than may. and it was stressful. is that weird? everything just seemed so abruptly left behind when we left our wedding reception and were on our way to the hotel, then the airport, then kauai, then maui. and getting the boys to ben's mom's was also incredibly stressful. by the end of the trip i wanted to get back to my life. back to my boys. back to normalcy...

*sigh*

this time the boys get to stay in their own home. we won't be worried about where our marriage certificate is or who has it or was it sent in. we won't be constantly daydreaming about all of the beautifully wrapped presents just begging to be opened. (ok, maybe that was just me...) this time we'll have been married almost 3 years. (yay!)

i am excited. through and through. and not just because i have a super cute tote. or some new shirts and skirts. although it doesn't hurt to be fashionably ready.. :)

i am going to have 9 days of just me and my husby...the waves crashing...the breeze...some cold drinks...and the sun gently caressing my arctic-white skin.

romance, eden, healthy glow.... here. i. come.
