It's been a while since I 13'd it...thought I would get-r-done. I am ready to be done being mommy for today. I am eagerly waiting for my DH to come home from work to dump the kids (without guilt) on him and head to church - church - you're taking a night out and going to church? Yep...need some worship time and going to sing in my big UGLY voice like nobody's business...not being harsh on my singing style..just honest!
So here are the 13 places I've travelled to in my mind over the last hour waiting for the DH:
1. a tropical island - my mom called to tell me my baby brother is on some tropical island with a weird name..renting a house with 4 other couples...must be nice.
2. Washington DC - spending time walking through the Smithsonian and seeing the Declaration of Indpendence...gonna do that soon
3. a spa - oh yeah..massage, pedicure, manicure, brow wax and heck I would even toss in some aroma therapy and facial..who knows to stay out even longer I might do a bikini wax - wait no bikini to wear it with - LOL
4. Columbia Public Library - all day...open to close...reading whatever I want..hiding out on the second floor in a comfy chair..strolling down for a cup of coffee and a bagel when I'm hungry.
5. a live performance - something loud, something rock..always wanted to see John Mellancamp .. why not him? 
6. a scrapbook event - digi or paper..don't care..just want to play
7. letterboxing - always always..deciphering clues..the woods are always a home for my soul.
8. Orange Beach - wanted to go there for a long time
9. honest conversation - sitting someplace drinking coffee and having honest conversation with several people and of course, you are on the list - and you know who you are :-)
10. wal-mart - I am getting desperate..DH just called and is on the way..can't wait
11. my garden - I love flowers, I love planting them and I love pulling weeds. Ahhh uninterupted time to pull weeds..see I told you I am desperate
12. learning a new art - there's always a list of arts I've wanted to learn..guitar, stained glass, pottery, painting, carving..ahhh
13. being alone - being alone in my comfy chair with a book or journal, but alone with my thoughts getting my head on straight so I don't 'lell' as Quinten says..he's a words love language kid ..so if I yell it's like ripping his soul apart..I should know..I'm the same way!
Great list! I'm a big fan of alone time. A spa, this Smithsonian, parked in an intimate booth and engaged in intimate conversation ... a lot of these sound heavenly.

Ooh, I'd love to be at a spa right now! (Actually, it's the middle of the night here right now. I'd love to be sleeping (so why aren't I?), but tomorrow I'd love to be at a spa.)

I love libraries and being alone in our home library/office. Anything to beat stress...

I love that list. I have not gone to many places just in my mind...I try to really go instead. This is a wonderful thing to do. I think I will try it the next time I get stressed!

Ahh, I'd rather be letterboxing too - my last venture out was disrupted by coyotes of all things
