itsy, bitsy, breaks

What can I say, I love my job (I seriously do) -- but I also really, really, love vacations.  Sometimes it's not even a vacation from my job that I'm craving but a vacation from the normal day to day to-do lists and stress. You all know the fun stuff I want a break from: cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, paperwork, traffic, whining (sometimes my own!)... you get the idea!  So what's a girl to do who has to wait 55 more days until she's tucked into a mountain retreat with her sweetie?  Focus on trying to find some little bits of time to take a deep breath and enjoy a small little piece of vacation wherever I am, that's what!  So I've been trying to capture some quick snapshots of those itsy, bitsy, breaks and I'll try to make that one of my themes for this year on the blog so look for more as the year goes along... and if you see me and I seem stressed.. tell me to go on a little vacation :-)

Here's a few recent deep breath, peaceful, happy,  moments: flowers, sleepy cats, birthday party fun, and library fun!
