going, going, gone ...

as in "she's outta here!" well, actually it would be more like "he-ah" since i'm heading to nantucket tomorrow morning.

now the main purpose of the trip is a memorial service for a great friend's mom. it will be a sad time, but it will be full of reflection and i think a kind of inner peace too. her mom was a wonderful woman and i'm deeply touched that i get to say good bye to her in such a special way.

i am also, on a less serious note, looking forward to some true girl time. she and i have needed this for a while considering the life stresses we've been facing, and we are feeling rather fortunate to have this opportunity. hopefully i'll be back a new, shiny, refreshed hoyden!
