Vacations... vacations
Okay, so hubby and I haven't been on a vacation in like... 8 yrs. No kidding. We've gone places with the boys but when I say 'vacation' I'm talking... no kids...... all you can eat... all you can drink..... park your fat ass on a lounger on the beach and have Pina Coladas delivered to you all day... kinda vacation.
Well, we're going on one in April. Very exciting. we were over at my best friends place a few weeks ago and she and her in-laws (brother and sister in-law) were talking about the vacation they are going on together. Then they asked us if we wanted to go too... the more the merrier. Of course, hubby said nothing... I said 'No'. My husband hates hot weather so I never even considered that he might want to go. Anyway, he came home from work the following Monday night and told me to call my friend and get the details.. I WAS IN SHOCK. Nobody in a million years has dialed a telephone as quickly... I was afraid that he'd change his mind.
Anyway...... that's the Dominican in April.
So yesterday I get an email from an ex co-worker that they've booked the hotel for her wedding. Costa Rica, in November. Then one of my other ex co-workers says that her husband can't go... but she's going anyway.... Then another ex co-worker responds to the same email saying that her husband doesn't have as much vacation time as she... so she's going solo.... So, another girl pipes in and says that she just told her husband that she's leaving him home. This all took place in an email circle of like 6 of us. They all still work there together, I left 2 yrs ago to stay home with my boys.
So far there's 3 ladies who are all planning on going 'sans other half'... pending approval of vacation requests from their boss.
So I say that I'll check with my husband and see if I can swindle a week off.
Okay, this post is getting long but I also have to include the fact that my husband also works there. In fact, he's the senior manager of that department so technically they all report either directly or indirectly to him.
So he gets a vacation request from one of my friends, which he approves. She then hands him a different vacation request.... WITH MY NAME ON IT.... LOLS....
So he comes home and before I even get around to mentioning this little trip in Nov. he says. "Oh, by the way, your vacation request for November has been approved... "
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO not only am I going to the DR in April, I'm also going to Costa Rica with the ladies in November.
Woo Hoo!!!!!!
