My ecstatic bits

Provocative title, eh?

- So I really do like to travel for my job, but there was something about this upcoming trip to Miami that I was dreading. It wasn't the actual work, but I felt overrun trying to get things done ahead of time so I wasn't behind when I got back to the office, and I had to cut the trip short for another obligation so it felt like a worthless trip. Anyhow, today at 5:05pm the Universe obliged me, and my trip was able to be canceled. It's so exciting, really truly - so exciting. Pairing that with a really good outcome on a colleague's out of town trip this week, and today is just happy news day. I really wish it would have come earlier so I could have not had to stress all day about getting things done, but later's better than never.

- I have a packed weekend. It was a good thing because I was going to not see my family for three days, but now it's just good because I'm terrible at downtime. No downtime for me! Tonight is my version of relaxing. I picked up Thai food (Pad Thai to split w/ my husband and 15 dumplings, those heavenly things) and once I set the kids up with their friday night movie, I have a date with Amazon and my bed to watch the Veronica Mars movie. SOOOOOO Excited. I only watched the series last month so they are recently seared into my mind. The Slate headline said "Veronica Mars movie: More of the Same" ... like that's a bad thing?

- Tomorrow is Disney. All hail the Mouse House.

- Sunday I'm taking Spencer to the Annual Antiquarian Book Fair. I don't know if he'll care, but I love it and I've missed the past few years. Now I have another reader in the family! Better believe I'm taking advantage of that. There are always a few kid booths, so I'll buy him a book and he'll be happy.

- And then! Then! Date night. This weekend is going to rock.

- It is 75 degrees outside. This weather is amazing.

- I have nothing bad to say. I don't have to travel next week! Life is good.

What does your weekend look like?
