Sometimes you have to get away.
Away can be 20 miles down the road.
I don’t have a lot of words today. One of my best friends and I crashed my mom’s house for the weekend. It was a glorious break, and I am so grateful to my mom for providing us this little oasis of happiness. I’m still easing back into the “real” world.
The steps to this Operation: Vacation weekend are best recapped in pictures.
Step 1: workout in a deserted gym
Step 2: Find a pool and soak up the sun
Step 3: Make a refreshing watermelon-cotija salad (click image for recipe)
Step 4: Make a big meal of mussles, lamb, swordfish, and veggies on the grill and share with friends.
Step 5: Don’t forget dessert
Step 6: Wake up on day 2, don’t shower, and lounge in the pool all day
Step 7: Enjoy freshly picked strawberries. Puree them into margaritas. Forget to take pics.
Step 8: Have massive dinner. Get seconds. Then thirds.

Step 9: Drive home. Whimper at the thought of work. “Write” short blog post while reliving the fun memories and thinking happy thoughts about your mom, sister, and friends.
What was the best part of your weekend?
How tempted were you to call in sick today?
