Vacation All I Ever Wanted...

My husband is taking me to Mexico! I mean, I planned the whole thing, and picked the place, and got the airline tickets and right at the end he freaked out because it wasn't the vacation he had in mind...but doesn't it sound so much more romantic to say "my husband is taking me to Mexico"?

Well hello there 1950's, glad to see you. Could I borrow an apron?

Last night my husband commented on the terrific timing of the vacation. We will be there for his birthday, our first anniversary (which is the reason we are going) is right around the corner, and it works out perfect for the job change.

Him: The timing of this vacation couldn't be better. Could it? (said as if we are the luckiest bastards in all of the world and the timing was a sheer coincidence)

Me: Yeah, it really all fell into place for us. Imagine that? (trying hard not to point out the obvious fact that I had been planning this for months and had to move heaven and earth to line everything up, including the added stress of working the vacation into negotiating a later start date with the new firm)


Whatever, I'm going to Mexico! Thanks for taking me honey...

  1. yay vacation!!! Have a wonderful time. Oddly, it does sound cuter to say that your husband is taking you to Mexico. What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthay and a first anniversary.

  2. Consider it in the best light--it's a romantic tribute to the strength of your ability to communicate and compromise, a monolith to your collective teamwork (his contribution: to agree to go, your contribution: everything else.)

    Marriage rocks.

  3. How fun!
    I'm visiting your coast this weekend... you can visit mine for your vacation.

    and, yes, it's totally more fun to say that your husband is taking you on vacation. Who doesn't love a doting husband?!

  4. Being "modern" (meaning yes, we are the ones in control) doesn't mean you can say those things like "my husband is taking me", because it sure sounds better, and of course, no one has to know the planning details!
    Have a great great time, I love Mexico!!!!!!
