Girls Weekend! 

I'm so excited!  My sister and I have finalized our plans to head out next weekend for a girls weekend away, just the two of us.  She has a friend who has a beach house in Ocean City, MD, which we can have for $200 for the whole weekend!  So this will be fun AND cheap!

My sister is a good bit younger than I am - she's 28, and I'm 40.  We've always been at different stages in our lives.  But somehow, now that we are both adults, we relate much better and I don't feel as though I'm constantly having to set a good example for her.  Which is good, since I wouldn't want anyone to take me as a good example lately.  For her part, I think she is realizing that I'm actually human, with all the failings and faults of a human.  If I can get a divorce, it can happen to anyone.

So we'll have a good time, drink a little too much, maybe flirt a bit with some guys.  She's young and beautiful, guys flock to her like bees to honey.  It will be good for me to be part of this, even if I'm standing on the sidelines...kind of easing me back into the game, I suppose.  To carry the football analogy a bit further (too far?), I've had a major injury, and now I'm rehabbing, so I can't just jump back into the middle of the playoffs, but at least I can stand on the sidelines and watch the healthy players in action.

Girls Weekend!  I can't wait!
