  Okay, not really "exciting", but eventful in that I didn't do anything that I usually do. On Sunday I went to the Renaissance festival in Fairburn.
That was a wonderful day of escapism, and I bought some really cute stuff. :-) All week my schedule at work has been wonky, but the shifts aren't that bad and I've actually been enjoying myself most of the time. It's totally twilight zone to be sure. For the past two days I've been preparing to go on vacation by revamping my wardrobe :-D, which is very fun. Shopping relieves stress. Try it if you don't believe me. The only problem is that you end up spending lots of money. Fortunately, I rationalize spending so much on clothes by seeing it as an investment. That makes me feel better and gives me a chance to truly appreciate my job, without which I would be broke and couldn't make "investments". ;-) All in all, I'm looking forward to work today. I'm looking forward to vacation tomorrow even though the Friday exodus will be brutal.
It's a 9 hour drive to the place that we're staying, so the trip will be broken up into like 4 or 5 hours on Friday afternoon and the rest of the way Saturday morning with a stop at (hopefully) a nice motel. I so can't wait to see the ocean and walk on the beach. It's been several years since the last time I went on this little family gathering.
