beyond cinderella

It’s been planned for months. I’m “ready”

House is cleaned.

Laundry is done.

Make ahead meals are made, and in the freezer, ready to just heat and eat for my husband, Bill, and daughter, Shantel, I know, I spoil them way too much….

Everything’s “set”

All that’s left… is just, to “go”

And on Thursday, that’s just what I’m going to do… 🙂

I’m taking a much-needed, girlfriend vacation. I will fly to New York, where I will spend several days with my Frissy, hanging out in Manhattan. What’s not to love about that..? And, if that were not enough for anyone of sound mind… On Saturday, we will be joined by our other BFF’s, Megs, and Audrey… MORE FUN…!

On Sunday, Megs, Audrey, Frissy, and I will have a picnic in Central Park and spend a lazy afternoon watching people, catching up, and laughing the time away, until evening when we will attend a Shinnyo Lantern Floating For Peace Ceremony, from 7-8 pm, in Central Park. We will have the opportunity to decorate, build, and float a lantern with our wishes for peace on them. How beautiful is that?

Then, on Monday, we will all make a trip to Vermont. We will spend five fun-filled, beautiful days, in a beautiful house, on the most spectacular property, among the beautiful changing leaves of Vermont!! OMG, I just can’t hardly wait. We will cook, drink wine, talk, hike, stay up late and drink more wine, and laugh, laugh, laugh… cause that’s what we do on girlfriend vacations… And THIS is going to be the BEST girlfriend vacation EVER… 🙂

We will return to Manhattan on Friday, and have a few more “play” days together there before Megs and Audrey have to leave.

I’m staying on with Frissy, and we will continue the girlfriend fun until I have to leave on Wednesday, October 2nd. But I won’t be sad, because Frissy will be coming back to her second home, in Scottsdale, in November, where we will all meet up again for even more fun times here in beautiful Arizona… 🙂

So, watch for a future blog post where I will share photos of our girlfriend vacation. But, right now, I’m “ready, set, and all that’s left for me to do….is just go…”

Stay Tuned!
