What a great Monday!

I know that Monday's are usually not the best day of the week for most people, myself included, but today was a really good Monday as far as I am concerned. All day long I was just grinning away...it was really weird. Work just seemed to whiz by today. I just finished a huge project last week so today I just poked around and worked on a few loose ends. Mid morning I talked to Rob and we decided to go away for the weekend. There are a TON of fabulous places to visit around here and we rarely visit any of them. We never drive out of the Seattle area unless we are driving to Utah. The rest of the time we just hang out in our little metropolis, well now it's more of the suburbs, but still, same thing. So we have decided to take advantage of all of the great trips within hours of us. We still haven't decided if we are going to:

A. Visit the Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, OR

B. Check out the Bavarian village of Leavenworth, WA. I really want to save this trip for the Fall. I have heard the drive is beautiful due to all the changing Autumn scenery, plus they have Oktoberfest, but I doubt we would attend.

C. Our next big city to the South, Portland, OR. They are supposed to have a pretty decent zoo. The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle isn't anything to brag about. A zoo could be fun. Plus they are supposed to have this amazingly huge bookstore down there somewhere. That could be fun too.

I guess we still have a few days to decide, but I think I have just voted for Portland. I am sure that Rob will agree. :)

Anyways, back to the greatness that was my Monday. With the weekend already on my mind, work was over in a flash. After work I visited a dear friend, who also happens to be the best massage therapist ever for an amazing massage and some girl talk. About a year ago when we first met we both instantly realized that we would become great friends. She is one of the people that I feel most comfortable with and I am so grateful that she was placed in my life! And with a relaxing smile I headed out for some shopping (my massage friend tipped me to a great sale) and purchased some great going-out-of-town-for-the-weekend-clothes.

One more stop at the grocery store and I was on my way home...all the while, just in the best of moods! Nothing really out of the ordinary happened, but I am still in a terrific mood. I guess I shouldn't keep pointing out how odd that is; it makes me sound like a total downer of a person. Really I am not! Oh, if everyday could be a Monday...
