“Yeay! I get a new wife!”

June 21st, 2008 by simone

A few days into my vacation/jobless decision, I’m sitting in a restaurant with Husband. We’re discussing this and that and enjoying our wonderful Turkish food. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, I lean across the table and plant a big sexy kiss on his lips. I have no idea where it came from. He has no idea what planet he’s on for a good 10 seconds. And we both just smile.

To put it simply, in the past few days, I have become a different person. I never thought of myself as a stressed out individual, but in the last 72 hours, this barely visible dull film coating everything in my life has just disintegrated. I’m smiling, I’m laughing, I’m playful and carefree. I’m a Celebrex commercial come to life.

In post kiss bliss, he smiles a big goofy grin and says “Yeay! I get a new wife!”

    I’ve always dreamed about taking time off like this too — I’ll be living vicariously through you and your blog this next year. :)

    I bet you’re going to find yourself remarkably busy for not having a “traditional” job for the year. Well clearly, you’re not even done with your current job yet and you’ve already launched an entire web site and written for it. Save some time for fun!!!
