So how many months did you say you are going to be on the vineyard?
A year?
this sounds like a long list Mim.
Even if I divide these thirty things up in morning/noon/evening/and nighttime activities there doesn't seem time to do it all. How long are you going to be on vacation?

Getting close to the guy you married has to be #1.

and taht could take up a lot of time

Morning
noon
evening
and
nighttime

Go enjoy!
I don't care what else you get done.
Relax
Do what you want
when you want
and come home rested and happy!

I get ambitious right before vacation. But what's interesting to me is how as I was making the list, I got calmer and calmer...and ended the list with the softer side of vacation fun.
Yes...remembering WHY I got married is a big goal for this vacation. One tends to forget in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The one you missed off - it says tear up the list. Funny to read (apart from the serious points about marriage) as I also plan goals for my holidays and never meet them! I just hope you and DH have a good time, get relaxed, enjoy each other again and re-affirm your marriage.

I hope you do them all-many are simultaneous activities.

I was going to say the same as Sarah, stop making lists.

soulbrush said...

they always say that vacations can be stressful...no wonder if you have a list going...throw it away and just spoil yourself and that hubby of yours each and every minute...have fun and enjoy!!!!
(remember those good old days when there were no mobiles, tv's, ipods or computers to come between you and your beloved...aaaahhhhh)

Five books? I haven't finished an entire book in a few years, at least. I miss reading so much! The only time I have to read is at bedtime and then I fall asleep after one page. I literally have 5 books going at the same time hoping I'll finish at least ONE of them.
I'd love time away with hubby to reconnect. I like your list, but I agree you should throw it away now. Write it and toss it!
