Ahh, May Day, the start of my favorite time of year: school’s out season. By this time next week, I’ll have collected the last of my students’ papers, and I should be nearing the finish of my very last graduate school paper. Only twenty pages stand between me and my degree, and it feels like heaven!
Neal and I had planned to go to Greece later this month with my sister and her kids. Sadly, my sister’s fiance is waiting for a liver transplant, and his case has gotten more urgent. Of course, we canceled the trip so that she can be by his side should his "new" liver arrive this month. He’s getting the best possible care, and they’re super optimistic about everything.
We (Neal and I) still wanted to get away, though, so I think we’re going to take a weekend trip to celebrate our first anniversary. I’ve never toured the mansions in Newport, making that high on the list. We love spa hotels, so I’ve been googling in search of something relatively affordable that also has good reviews. Any suggestions for a romantic New England getaway in mid-May?
Sometimes, in the midst of deadlines and ill family, the only action a girl to take is to buy a perfect bag. A couple of nights ago, that’s just what my sister and I did. I ordered mine and e-mailed her my confession, only to find that she’d ordered the exact same bag. Mine arrived today, and I’m smitten. It’s fabulous (1,000,000). I’m a huge fan of Floto Imports, and I adore each and every bag of theirs I own. This one, though…this one is amazing. It’s green. And on sale. Want to see?
I am very envious of your new handbag!!
Ooooh, very cute!
Well wishes to your future brother-in-law!
Great handbags! Thanks for the link. Just 20 sheets of paper… that’s something.
A friend once told me that she was stricken with envy upon seeing my illustrated copy of Wuthering Heights. She described being seized with the impulse to take it from my hands and run. All I’m saying is hold tight to that bag if you chance to run into me, sistah.
Nice!
Oh my – that is a wonderful bag!
I’m really sorry to hear that your sister’s fiance’s condition has worsened. Of course canceling the trip is understandable, and hopefully you will all be able to take the trip together in the near future.
As far as Newport goes – it’s a beautiful, wonderful town. I can highly recommend the Cheeky Monkey for a great meal. That’s where I fell in love with scallops. Sigh…
I love the lining of the bag the most…so pretty.
That is a beautiful purse!
All good thoughts for your sister’s fiance.
Block Island! That’s where we went for out honeymoon in May, and although it wasn’t warm it was very romantic:)
