Se ya'll next week

I'm happy to report that I'm abandoning my family (husband and three children) for a girls getaway to the shore. I leave them to their unfolded laundry, piles of dirty dishes, Lego-strafed living room, trashed bedrooms, soccer tournament, homework-loaded weekend.

And I plan to buy Starbucks on my way there :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$$wishes: a $15,000 - $18,000 windfall from the heavens ... husband needs a new (and way more reliable) vehicle.
$$sins: try not to spend all of the money I'm bringing along this weekend (fat chance!!) because that translates to less groceries for my family for the next two weeks!
$$goals: find a pair of shoes for my daughter's Homecoming Dance ensemble for under $45 (that miracle needs to occur when I get back on Sunday!)

Enjoy!!

When you get back, I'll have to call and tell you about baby girl projectile vomiting in my hair!!!

Ouch -that sounds like an even better reason to run AWAY from home!

Here's hoping your weekend brings you all you want it to do - most particularly the rest but after that, the wishes for a financial windfall! Ok, at the very least, finding those all important shoes!

I'm hurt and saddened that I wasn't invited.

I'm not a woman, but I can party like a rockstar.

Ok.... I may have said too much.

Hi Molly,
Have a great weekend. Maybe you'll stumble upon a bucketload of cash that someone's just left by the side of the road. It could happen, you know. Then it will be Manolo Blahnik's for the Homecoming Dance.
Superb.

Baby Sis -
Yuck! Toddlers ... they're such messy little wonders. It's a wonder we survive the raising of them.

*Yes to fabo weekend! Weather at the beach was kickin' :)
*No to a financial windfall; just the ever expected depletion of personal bank account while on vacation.
*Super Yippee to finding shoes for my little girl - a lovely pair of cream-colored, 1940's-styled heels that'll work perfectly with her dress (and more imporantly they were under $45! However, confession time here, I found a pair of black high-heeled slides that were too cute to pass up - they were screaming my name (funny how shoes tend to do that to me)"Take me home! I'll make you so happy!"

Ryan -
My sincerest apologizes for not having extended an invite to you. But more importantly, I'm sorry I didn't invite wifey or Kiley - the wife would have defintely fit in with my gal pals and, well, my girlfriends are just ga-ga for poochies!

Mya -
Sorry, no green-filled buckets to be found. However I did score a couple of awesome bikinis for TEN BUCKS apiece while down there. It's truly astonishing what shopping miracles can be found at the seaside at the end of a season.

Cheers to you all :)
