I feel as though I haven't had a vacation this year. I'm not entirely sure why since I've been to New York for a long weekend , Charlotte for a week, and to the cottage for a week. That's more vacation right there than I had the year before. And I've still got time left to take! Which is very exciting. I really wish I could take it and go somewhere far away, which will make my subconscious realize that I've had vacation. Of course, it wouldn't necessarily quash the desire for another vacation, but really, who is ever tired of vacations?
On Thursday I'm going to Charlotte again. And as you can probably imagine I'm really looking forward to it. Not only because it'll be a vacation, but also because I'll get to see my mom again. I haven't seen her since August, and I miss her. I've been feeling sort of down lately, so I'm hoping that some time away, and a visit to my mom will lift my spirits.
In the meantime, I'm working lots. We have a bookfair going this week, there are 10 tables out in the middle of the mall that someone has to stay with all day. I was out there today, and it went fairly well. We have these beautiful tea pots. Yes, I know, I work at a bookstore, but we have some clearance gift product, and these teapots came with that. The teapots are $7.99. When we were talking about it on our conference call last week our Regional Manager Todd said that last year at large format (which is Chapters and Indigo), they sold these teapots at mothers day for $35! Since I can't seem to find my teapot anywhere. I'm going to get one.
Tomorrow night I'm supposed to go to a movie. I'm not sure if that will happen or not at this point, but at the moment I think it's still the plan. Tuesday evening Sam is coming over to hang out. Wednesday I'll be packing and then Thursday I'll be off.
Hopefully the trip will cure my wanderlust.
