The busiest week
Goodness, gracious, it's been a busy week! Not my favorite kind of week, either, let me tell you. I've been working 9-10 hours on my job every day. I do love my job, and I'm very thankful for the company I work for, but dang, I'm tired! And it's cutting into my reading time, too (and apparently my blogging time as well), which certainly isn't cool. I'm pretty much worthless each night when I finally get home, so mentally and intellectually drained I can only concentrate long enough to read a chapter or two before I realize the words on the page are swimming around and fading in and out.

Oh well. Next week promises to be better, as my boss will be back in the office and she will take a lot of the load off (I have a fantastic boss, another big blessing in my life). And then the next week will definitely be even better, because I will be on vacation! I can't wait. Jeff and I haven't decided if we're going to take a trip or just stay home. Our house is in severe need of some spring cleaning (pretty soon it's going to have to be called summer cleaning, and who wants to do anything in the summer? Not me!). So we thought about staying here and doing some small home improvement projects and general cleaning. But we haven't been on a real vacation in 3 years, so we think it's time for a getaway. I'm craftily nudging Jeff toward agreeing to us going to a beach and being complete and total bums for a week. I can't think of anything that sounds better at this moment as I recover from another long, hard day at work!

Got any recommendations on where we could go (preferably somewhere in the Southeast USA)? And what about you? Are you going on any vacations this year?
