vacation

well, i'm going on vacation today. i'm so excited. i get to go all the way to ventura and, drum roll please, trader joe's!!! without the kids!!! who would have known that the grocery store would become an oasis of pleasure and relaxation, a moment of thinking only my own thoughts and taking my time perusing the aisles, planning meals and snacks and trying to satisfy everyone's needs within a limited budget. now that's what i call vacation. eat your heart out fiji. you've got nothing on grocery store getaways.
