I have recently experienced the most violent illness I’ve ever experienced in my life. It was so bad my husb was considering taking me to the hospital in the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning. 90s vids will be back in full force tomorrow.

In the meantime, husb and I are thinking of taking a weekend trip some weekend in November. Ideally, we’d like to be able to leave after work on a Friday, get there and check into a hotel so we can spend all day Sunday and most of Sunday in the destination. But we don’t know where to go! DC is out of the question - hello, we just spent two years living there - as are places we’ve been like New York or Philly or places I was raised to loathe like Cleveland. We’re looking for something under the radar, a place people wouldn’t normally think to visit.

Maybe Detroit? Or Toronto? Any ideas or suggestions, faithful readers?

Boyf and I are heading to California for a few days to get extremely intoxicated while celebrating the marriage of a very dear aunt. Posting will probably be sporadic, but I’ll try to do my best.

Have fun, kids!
