A New Week...

I had a fabulous weekend with my Niece.  We did our yearly roller coaster riding, this time at Great America, and rode the water slides there in their water park as well.  There's something freeing about not worrying what you look like or how wet your hair is.  Yes, I walked around the water park in my bathing suit, and I wasn't hiding.  My Niece was proud to be with me, and I walked like I was the best damned Auntie in the universe...well, I am the best damned Auntie in the Universe.

Now it's time for another week. I have a list a mile long of things to do. And I still have to shop for a nice summer dress for a wedding. Everything is Go, Go, Go. Yeah, I get that I planned it that way, but I could use a bit of a breather. Don't see that happening in the near future.

I could really use some Cabo time.  Just a beach, sand, margarita, tangy salt air, warm sun and friendly people.  I need to dance.  It's been awhile and I could use some Enrique Iglesias, a sarong, a tee and some sweat!  There's always something, someone, some issue.  I'm getting a little tired.

Not to mention that my Sister and I had words today (that was not unexpected). I wish I could be that big sister that she looks up to, but I'm always going to be competition. I'm always going to be the enemy. I'm always going to be 7 years older and an ocean of difference between us. I would like to be friends, but that's never going to happen. It wears on my soul at times.

Ah well.  I'm headed to bed peeps. I hope you had a great weekend and I hope the next week will be fun as well.
