We’re days away from our trip to Marfa with Miss Aimee and family, and really it's perfect timing, as I’m needing some serious mental rejuvenation right now.
Bryan’s been a smidge worried that there won’t be enough for the kids to do in Marfa…he actually mentioned bringing along the computer last night. I revolted... big time. I’ve had the blahs a bit of late -- nothing major, just a smidge of in-between seasons, constant bad news on NPR, needing to get out of our everyday routine sort of thing. I find the best way to shake off a funk of this sort is to immerse myself in the polar opposite of our day-to-day. So no computers, no blackberry (sorry to my boss if he’s reading this), no constant stream of activities and commerce in our wake…
I’d like to see what comes out of having no "plan" for a few days. I'm especially excited about (in no particular order) exploring, sitting around talking and drinking while Bryan and Matt play guitar, spending time with Buck and Camp, letting Audrey snap photos with my old camera to her heart’s content (she's quite the shutterbug, proof below), reading (I’ve got this book all queued up for the trip), seeing art, staring aimlessly at the sky...
The perfect antidote to the blahs, no?
