I am behind on this game because this weekend I was actually at an adult only resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico, with my husband. We slept by the pool, ate and ate and ate wonderful food, swam with a dolphin, enjoyed a never ending supply of icy fruity drinks, and all the while capable grandparents cared for the child so worries were few and far between. Aaaahhhh.

I’m late as well, but will still play. I wish I was at home lounging on the couch with a good book and some cats and also it’s about 15 years from now, so my nearly grown kids are coming home from college for Spring Break and we’d all just relax and hang out and have family time that does not involve playing 8,000 games of Thomas the Tank Engine or fighting about brushing teeth. Or if it must be in this time, then I’d prefer to be at a beach somewhere alone. Just me and some books and bad TV and relaxation.

Scales are unimportant. I haven’t had one for like 6 years and I am so much happier. I even tell the doctor/nurse not to tell me how much I weigh when I go in. Fanatical? A bit. But as soon as I know that number I start obsessing. And now I don’t. I am free, free I tell you! You are beautiful. No scale can tell you that.

My wish is similar to yours, Sundry. I’d like to be in the villa at the Oberoi resort in Bali, where we spent our honeymoon. This time, we’d have our boys too and my sister and brother-in-law and 2 nephews in the villa next door. Sigh. . .

Honestly I would be perfectly content with just one day of lounging and sleeping at my girlfriends house. And I do mean literaly sleeping, not the fun stuff that might make my wish slightly less boring. One day without a million things to accomplish and the constant feeling of being in a hurry.

OK, you SERIOUSLY made me laugh out loud with your junior mints revelry! Freakin’ hilarious.

Also, I’d be back on the northern coast of Italy eating fabulous food and drinking fabulous wine with my husband while soaking in the history of the area and the sunrays. Thanks for the chance to daydream…

Well, it’s Monday and too late for where I would like to be this past weekend (in bed at home would have been nice) but all I really wanted to say was OMG I could not believe it when you made reference to the Toxic Avenger – I said the exact same thing. The hunched guy just HAD to be the TA’s brother. So funny. Toxic Avenger is so on my Netflix Q. Hope you had a good weekend. Don’t worry – I ate a bunch of crap this weekend, too, but am back to the diet and exercise today. I like to go hard all week and then if I fall of a bit on the weekend well, so what. And one box of junior mints is hardly a crime. You could have done way worse (like three pieces of pizza, hot tamale candies, cookies, a bite of Ben and Jerry’s, etc). Yep. So no worries. Have a great week.

I don’t know what to tell you about the mints, but I can say I really, really liked the post where you shared your progress with your diet. You are such a nice person and you inspired me to be more sensible & healthy in my own approach to weight loss. So you see, you are using the internet to be a force for positive change in the world. Think about that the next time the mints (or similar sin) haunts you: you are a positive presence in this world, you really are. The presence of your honesty and goodness on the internet means something.

I’d love to go back to Japan – particularly Kurashiki. It’s a really quaint little town where many of those old samurai movies were filmed. Another fantastic place is Naoshima Island. It’s an entire island devoted to art. The hotel is in an art museum – beautiful!

I’d also love to be home, by myself, just for a day or 2. Perhaps a masseuse could be there too. Nothing against the hubby & kidlet, but I could use some “me” time.

I’m going with Maui as well with daily visits to the Kihei Kaffe for their fabulous breakfast burritos. Afternoons would be spent at the beach drinking lava flows with a massage thrown in daily to complete the relaxation. Dinner would also be served on the beach, cooked by our own personal chef. & as much as I want our daughter there, I also want to sleep, uninterrupted for more than 6 hours, so I’m sort of torn.
