Calories don't count.

In Amoungst my crazy life, I mentioned earlier that there is some good.  Oh how good those things can be.  The bad makes the good so much sweeter, doesn't it?  And all too often, what makes those sweet moments, well, sweet, are the people you shared them with.  And I know just the best people.  And the best of the best make you forget the worst.  They have to ability to make you escape the everyday.

Well this spring we were able to take a two week getaway to California.  The weather was incredible. The shopping was so great.  The views where unforgettable- but can I tell you the best part? The 4 other people I shared those 2 weeks with.   It wasn't the perfect trip on paper, mind you.  There were sickness that were shared.  That nasty cold came for a visit.  But  it was a small hiccup compared to the visits we were able to have.

I love vacation.  For some many reason.  Number 1?  Starbucks trips.  And the calories dont even count.  Did you know that?  So everyday.  Carmel macchiato on ice. Everyday.    Oh, and waking up and know your on vacation?  And being somewhere where you can pull open the blinds and see ocean and warm air that hits your face?  It's no wonder I can't sleep in on vacation?! 

One of my favorite memories, was sitting out on our patio, sharing drinks and snacks, and such ridiculous conversations.  The ones where you laugh because your laughing. Laugh till it hurts, until you no longer know why your laughing.  All the while the sun has set and the sound of the waves come from a distance.  I remember that moment frequently.  And I immediately start planning my next getaway. Haha.  But in the meantime, I have good people all around me here.  With inside jokes that no one else could ever understand, even if we explained.. And I wouldn't dare . Cause those things belong to just us. ... And are remembered on days like this.....
