What's Been Going On

I'm ready to write. It's been like 13 days! One thing I learned in College, something that actually stuck with me, is to write what you know. Since I had the kiddos, my writing took a serious back seat, because I forgot that (or was just too plain busy figuring out parenthood...a journey that continues). Well, lately the light bulb flipped back on and it hit me to write about my life (which is why I started blogging). See, I've been happy. And I used to think that my "good" writing came out of not being happy. "In the thick of it," so to speak. And that's true also. It was free therapy. But I have also found that I like writing about happy. And as not exciting as my life may seem--the whole very married with children bit-- (though sometimes it really is rather thrilling...we have our moments), it's what I know. My hubby's college roommate and BFF, lives in Switzerland. I always feel bad for hubby when he gets an e-mail from his friend, cuz HIS life IS really exciting. It's the "what couldda been" for my hubby. But, I'm pretty sure our life has been pretty exciting the last 13 days or so...so here it is. I'll try to take it easy and not overwhelm you all right away. Kind of spread it out (well, that and I have to you know, do the mom/wife stuff--I have priorities)...

Here it is (drum roll pleeease): We went on vacation. To California. To Disneyland/California Adventure/Legoland. No, I didn't meet Chris Martin (though I feel as if I know him so much better) and I am not pregnant (just in case you thought I was...cuz usually that is some big news). We went on vacation. To California. To Disneyland/California Adventure/Legoland.

We drove...and now, you get to read ALL ABOUT IT. We had ups and downs. We had fires and brew pubs. We saw family. A lot of family. We had high gas prices. We had Mickey. We had motion sickness. We had tears. We giggled. We stayed up until midnight like every night. We made friends. There was a Bat Mobile. We had margaritas. And Cadillacs. We had the Golden Gate bridge. We used to have money. We have pictures. We have lots of laundry.

So that's it. That's the big secret. I hope you're not too let down. But it's totally what I've known for the last 13 days and I'm pretty bad about keeping secrets...I was afraid I'd give it all away (if I tried to not write about it)...I always bust out laughing and the jig is up. I have no poker face. But really. I seriously didn't want my house getting broken into.

So stay tuned. I took notes. I dreamed about blogging. I got it all up here (points to noggin')! So please come back. I'll have snacks. And wine and Fresca.
