Vacation

Posted by Robin on 27 July 2009 39 Comments

I'll be out of town the next three weeks. The blog will mostly hum along as usual, with the possible exception of Tuesday through Thursday of this week, when I may or may not have internet access. If no posts appear on those days, expect us back on Friday, when Kevin will have a review of Frederic Malle Geranium Pour Monsieur.

    Have fun! Hey – want to leave us with an open thread for those days? Maybe a “tell us about your favorite vacation scent” poll?

      Wait, you don’t mean a three-week-long open thread, do you? That could be dangerous — and not just for those with dial-up!

        Didn’t she say she’d only be without computer access for 2 days?

          Oh, now I see she said Tuesday through Thursday. Still. even a three-day thread could be trouble!

      Sorry — I hated to leave an open thread when I wasn’t around to approve comments from first-timers. Am back online now though!

    Are you sure it’s safe to leave all us kids home alone? We might start rearranging all the blog-furniture as soon as you leave…and have a party…
    😉 have a good time !

      Isn’t this the point at which the most mature child is chosen to be in charge? Who would that be…?

      I don’t know why I feel like sharing this, but I’m just in a sharing mood. When I was a kid, my parents went out of town and left my brother in charge. He had planned months in advance that he was going to make beer (yes, MAKE beer…) while they were gone, even going to the trouble of growing hops in the backyard. I don’t remember much else about that, except that my parents came back before it was done, and he passed it off as a science experiment.

      By comparison, how much trouble could WE get into??

        Well, it would NOT be ME in charge, that’s a given.
        But, Kitty —WE HAVE CREDIT CARDS….I can get in loads of trouble just with that….plus AnnS will have us making exploding bottles of Dandelion Wine in no time. (she might just be a trouble maker…but shhhh don’t tell her I said that…..)

            Yeah, my balance is mortifying to look at. Plus, they raised my limit again. I got something in the mail notifying me of this, and I screamed, “Nooooooo! Don’t encourage me!!” Really, I only have myself to blame.

      HA. Please don’t rearrange the furniture.

      Not a shopping sort of vacation this time…unlikely I’ll come home with anything new at all.

    When I use to be able to afford vacations, I always wore a new scent. I would purchase a gift set that had small containers of cream or lotion, bath gel, and scent so they would be easy to pack. Thay way i would feel like a new person in a new place. Denise

    Have a great time! We’ll miss you, but I hope you’re so relaxed/cultured/entertained/entranced/drunk (pick the adjective that best suits your destination) that you don’t miss us one jot!
