Busy Week!

It's been a bit crazy the past week. First came the work stress - a sudden influx of new projects plus an accounting error (I found out it was an error today after stressing for a week) that made it look like I hadn't done any work recently. Then there was cleaning/packing the apartment (I decided to start rotating winter and summer clothes, and packing the off-season clothes away since even a walk-in closet doesn't seem to fit my clothes anymore). Add a couple of meetings for various organizations, and there was little time at night to play on the internet or to string together coherent thoughts.

Then this weekend, I was computer- and internet-free. Bf and I unplugged and took off to enjoy Valentine's Day just the two of us. We found a resort a couple of years ago (were sent there for an event by chance) and fell in love with it. We planned a vacation there just about this time last year, and had been meaning to go back ever since but hadn't gotten around to it. Well, it turned out perfectly. Spending Valentine's Day at an old-fashioned country-club type resort was pure bliss. The resort is in southern New Jersey, close to both Atlantic City and Cape May (it's just about an hour from Philly so it's an easy weekend trip). We spent time touring both quiet, sleepy Cape May and the not-so-quiet, but winter-off-season-sleepy Atlantic City. We also checked out some local restaurants, none of which were "perfect" like the places I used to think were important on V-day, but all of which were perfect for us. Not to sound totally cheesy - and 3-years-ago-Ellie is cringing as I say this - but any place is perfect when it's us. It really is just being with Bf that makes moments and memories.


Our happy place:
