vacation

I need one. I did take one mental health day last week, but it just didn't last long enough.

Memorial Day was a fun adventure with two friends - we went to a small town outside the city and spent the afternoon shopping around the square. It was great, we all got a little something and one of my friends got some really cute stuff for her new house. So fun!

There is something about just getting out of town for a while and forgetting about all your worries.

Car trips with these particular friends always remind us of a particularly eventful one taken a couple of years ago. This is the reason I rarely drive. Pouring rain, unfriendly 18-wheelers, and the pitch blackness of Oklahoma highway made me never want to take another car trip again, and gained me the reputation of BAD driver. I let my friend take over for the rest of the trip into hilly, foggy Arkansas. We made it in one piece after SEVEN hours in the car in the middle of the night. Next time I'm taking a plane. :)
