Take a Vacation!
As the snow piles higher and higher outside on the ledge and the trees bough their tired, aching limbs full of snowy tufts and fling them to the ground, I can think of only one word. Carribean. With the forecast predicting a healthy dose of snow everyday this week, I am clamouring for sunshine and the chance to see my toes again. In stores, I find myself oddly attracted to anything that bears resemblance to that indescribably lovely color of blue that makes a tropical island look like heaven even in the sorching heat. If you are one of the few lucky people who get to escape for spring break... send me some white sand and maybe a photo of a lone palm tree. Our last Carribean destination was three years ago when we honeymooned in Belize. We haven't had a real vacation since, tropical or otherwise. So take a vacation! If not for yourself , do it for me...
