Hot Dog. Life is Good.

OMG. If I haven't yet mentioned how much I LOVE being on staycation, allow me to indulge.

I love, love, love, this time we have off. We go where ever the wind takes us. Shockingly, the wind blew us right back to Barnes. 

Heaven!

In other news, I finally bought a new writing/art bag. Got a good deal. Thank you price-matching. And lemme tell ya' this bag fits my art tablet, writing tablet, EMR pens, normal people pens, my paper journal, ear buds, pretty purple mouse and matching keyboard, iPod and a few other goodies to boot.

Delightful. 

In other news, once we get home, it's a short rest, snack and then hit the office/writing space for Tim and an updated photography area for me. Or... we'll vegout an watch Creature Features. That's what's fun about staycations. 

Anything goes.

In other, other news, yesterday we went to get Smoochie Face a new writing chair for the office. We were there for one deal and instead landed and an even BETTER deal on a BETTER chair. 

Hot dog. Life is good.

  5. Like Debby; I am also on permanent staycation, aka retirement. Hooray for a better chair. Life is pretty good here too right now, a family member has just received some excellent news. (no, not pregnant, five kids is enough)

  6. Just doing what you want to do is a vacation for sure.. no deadlines, no interactions with humans except the ones you choose. when we were both in the workforce, that is what we did, we took a few days off and did nothing but what we wanted to. twice a year we went to stay on the beach on the East coast of where we live on the west coast and that was it... I can feel your joy from staycation.

    1. To me it's a big bag. Not a looker though. Kinda dull to look at. Holds a BUNCH though. Haven't taken any pictures yet though will later and show it off.

  14. Staycations are the BEST!! No plans, no appointments, just free to do whatever you feel like doing in the moment. It's always a bonus when you find what you're looking for at an even better price than you though. Enjoy your week!!
