13 REASONS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY “THELMA AND LOUISE” WEEKEND! This weekend will be the first weekend in like... forever, which I am getting away from it all! My friend and I are hitting the highway Saturday morning; we are saying “goodbye” to husbands, children, and really any everyday type responsibility. The destination? Not really sure, we have a hotel room secured and it’s about an hour away from anything we want to do and about 2 hours from home!!! 1) I DON’T HAVE TO WATCH “FLAVOR OF LOVE” …AGAIN! I swear to God, my girls have watched the whole series from the first to last episode and then the reruns too! Like it’s going to change! I’m sorry but Miss New York is a Drama Queen and (secretly glad, Flav didn’t pick her… again-burn on her!) 2) I DON’T HAVE TO COMPROMISE IF I WANT TO DO ANYTHING! We don’t have a game plan other than to get away. Like Thelma and Louise, maybe we will pick up good looking cowboys in a bar… I never had that kind of luck when I was single, but it’s nice to dream! 3) I DON’T HAVE TO GO TO MCDONALD’S FOR LUNCH! We plan on a nice dinner at the casino. So we’ll skip lunch! 4) I’M SECRETLY HOPING TO “RUN INTO” AN OLD FRIEND WHO LIVES IN THE AREA - refer to #2, but he wasn’t a cowboy and I haven’t seen him in many years! He is Italian though!!! Being Italian, I love Italian Men!!!! 5) THERE IS AN INDIAN CASINO THAT WE WANT TO GO TO- Maybe I’ll win big! O.k. Maybe I’ll not loo$e too much, but coming away with a couple of extra bucks would be nice! Other wise it’s the dollar menu at McDonalds! 6) SCRABBLE AND YATZEE! I’m bringing the travel editions but secretly hoping there won’t be any time to play! But if we do, words will be longer than 4 letters! 7) NO LAUNDRY, COOKING- Actually hubby does this on the weekends anyway! If he does laundry, I don’t bitch at him for watching sports ALL WEEKEND! I love win-win situations! 8) NO CLEANING- Is this what weekends are really for??? 9) I MIGHT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A NEW TATTOO AND WHERE!!! I think it’s all talk, but you never know! Any suggestions? 10) I LOVE TO TRAVEL- Just get in the car and go and I haven’t done anything like this in 20 years, you know, just the girls!! What happens on the road trip, stay on the road trip! I do promise to be a good girl! ;-) 11) MY FRIEND SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO GET AWAY- She does it all! She’s a stay at home mom with 3 little boys. 4 if you count her work-a-holic husband-2 of her boys were adopted and of course their mom was a crack addict so they have some “issues”. They-my friend and her husband-are classic examples of a couple that tried for 12 years to have children, adopted the brothers then they got pregnant! Overwhelming to say the least! She really needs this! I told her the only thing she will need to worry about is not letting me get lost! But then who cares right? 12) NO SPORTS- I’m going to miss Lovie and the Boys! They will have to do it this week without me, I’ll be there in Spirit and maybe have to find a sports bar with satellite! GO BEARS!!!! 13) I WILL MISS MY COMPUTER AND MY BLOGGING FRIENDS!!! – I will be thinking of you all! Hopefully, I wont go into withdrawals and will have some great tales to tell! Maybe by next road trip, I’ll have my laptop! …. Start your list here! Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. (leave your link in comments, I’ll add you here!)
