I’ll tell
you what is better than all of that, and more….. A night away ALL BY MYSELF!! That’s right my dear friends, a full 24 hours
ON MY OWN.
I am so
excited, I can barely contain myself.
I found a
little boutique hotel five minutes away from home, which BY CHANCE just happens
to offer spa treatments as well. I have
a massage booked for 2pm, but other than that, I am going to spend the ENTIRE
day, all by myself, bra-less, in my comfy pants and sheepskin slippers . I am going to pack a picnic basket with
tomato chips, dip, biltong, chocolate, wine and other delicious snacks and spend
the entire day at my laptop, catching up. I am going to soak in a hot bath for an hour, read a whole magazine from
start to finish, drink more than TWO glasses of wine, and fart in bed to my
heart’s content. Besides getting up to
pee at least once, maybe twice at night, I am going to sleep through the entire
night lying spread-eagled diagonally across the bed. No snoring husband, no
calling kids. But best of all, I am
going to do all of this on my own, in absolute silence!
I can’t WAIT!!!
Good gracious - you get to go to heaven for 24 hours. You deserve it!

Why don't you really treat yourself and leave the laptop at home?

Sounds wonderful! I don't know what the heck tomato chips and biltong are, but I'm with ya on the chocolate and wine. Have a great time!

Don't forget to pleasure yourself, dear. :-)

You GO girl.

You are one of the only other woman I know who would not only take her laptop to the spa with her but actually SPEND COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF TIME glued to it. I took mine CAMPING and took so much flack. But HELL its the way I relax!!! Enjoy it!

Oh my god, you just described by ULTIMATE DREAM IN LIFE. You lucky lucky woman.

Spoiledonlychild, you clearly have not met Tertia in all her blogging glory.
The laptop makes up for at least half of her heaven!
Enjoy Tannie T!

How did YOU get so lucky?
Have fun!

What did Marko do? Did he buy the car? Is that how you got your yard pass?
Posted by: Kay | 15 August 2008 at 12:02 AM
so. jealous.
Posted by: Jenn | 15 August 2008 at 12:05 AM
Okay. You need to let Marko get the car. Look at your budget, make it work for him. He should be able to splurge on himself too. And yes, a car is more than a night at a boutique motel, but it'll all balance out in the end.

OMG, I am so freaking jealous. Wow.
Posted by: Amy | 15 August 2008 at 02:03 AM
WooHoo! You must also remember to wear NO make-up and watch only chick flicks and trash tv the whole time. Hope you have fun, you deserve it!
Posted by: Rachel | 15 August 2008 at 03:27 AM
I would *so* take my laptop, too. Don't forget the charger!
Posted by: Dani | 15 August 2008 at 06:21 AM
Me too, please! That sounds like absolute bliss.
Posted by: cat | 15 August 2008 at 12:21 PM

Posted by: rindacella | 15 August 2008 at 12:46 PM
You lucky cow!!!!!!!!!!!!

How.the.heck.did.that.happen?
Posted by: Wobs | 15 August 2008 at 01:25 PM
I dream of a night like that.
Posted by: Mandy | 15 August 2008 at 03:51 PM
How did you get this lucky? And, can I come?
Posted by: Jerri Ann | 15 August 2008 at 03:55 PM
What, is it your birthday? Sounds just like HEAVEN. Don't forget to bring a sleeping pill, just in case your sleepless self is so used to being sleepless that you can't sleep. That would truly suck!
Posted by: kristylynne | 15 August 2008 at 05:35 PM
ooooh. *sigh*. aaah...
Posted by: jacki janse van rensburg | 15 August 2008 at 05:44 PM
Am extremely jealous - it will be a few years I think before I can pull off a similar miracle. Also am wondering what Marko did for you to get this treat??
Posted by: silene | 15 August 2008 at 05:47 PM
Your husband is nice. Very jealous!!!
Posted by: Anna | 15 August 2008 at 09:24 PM
Hi! Every now and then I read your blog and it is always fun! Enjoy your 24h!
Greetings from Sweden!
