Next weekend I am heading north to Virginia, to a small little cabin near the Shenandoah National Park.  A few of my good friends from NY are meeting me there for a “Girls Weekend Getaway”.  I am so totally stoked about it.  It’s been almost a year since I’ve seen my BFF Sara and that is much too long.

This will be only the second time that Sean and I have been apart since we were married 3 years ago. It’s not like we’ve planned to always be together, it’s just how it turned out.  I’ll kid with him sometimes and “inform” him that I know what he’ll be doing while we’re apart - look out strip clubs   It’s all in good fun of course.  He can go to a strip club tonight if he wanted.  He just has to promise to take me along too because it’s not fair that he would be the only one getting to look at hot chicks! 

For his first weekend home alone he has scored quite the adventure.  He invited his two nephews (ages 15 and 13) over for a weekend of Rock Band.  And Sean is totally stoked about it.  He’s already talking about practicing his “drumming skills” this week so he can try to keep up with the “young kids”.  It’s hard work being 37 and competing against teens who learn faster and play better.  I’m sure they’ll whoop his ass. I’m almost sorry I’m gonna miss that!
