Thirteen Reasons I Need a Vacation
I have been pleading with the vacation gods for a while now to grant me the sweet relief of a vacation. Lo and behold, a possibility has come up (that involves flying! I love flying!) but it’s not 100% confirmed just yet. I figure I might help my cause by stating my case to the vacation gods in a list-like fashion. What do you think?
Thirteen Reasons I Need a Vacation
1. I have been working darn hard in all areas of my life and I could use the time off.
2. I am forgetting how to de-stress to the point I walk around with this tight feeling in my stomach even when I’m not working.
3. Because I asked so nicely?
4. The trip - if it happens - is to a place I have never been before and have been looking forward to seeing for a long time.
5. I just got paid not long ago which means it’s not going to put us into too much hardship or strife to go.
6. There are some hot deals going on with flights!
7. My husband has been stressed out, too, lately and he needs a vacation as much as I do.
8. The place has internet, so it wouldn’t be like a true, disconnected from the world vacation anyway. I would still get work done.
9. Flying! I love flying. Mmmm. The feeling of the plane first lifting off and the cabin seems to be at this impossible angle as the city below gets smaller and smaller… Huh? What? Sorry.
10. Where we are going is cold this time of year. Mmmm. Snuggle time.
11. Because we likely won’t get an opportunity like this again for a long while.
12. It’s winter, the best time to travel if you want cheap rates.
13. I just plain want to go.
***The original site for Thursday Thirteen is now gone and, obviously, no longer going. However, I like the concept enough that I would like to keep on with it here, even if I do so on a not-exactly-steady basis. If you’d like to join in with your own Thursday Thirteen - whether or not it’s health related - please leave a link to your list in the comments. I’d love to check it out.
****There is a NEW Thursday Thirteen site!

I may not work, but I still feel like going somewhere… Even if just for a weekend!

I wish it came down to a vote, that’s for sure. Hopefully soon…
