Girls Gone Wild.....

I despise getting the mail.

I usually put it off about as long as I can before the mail lady actually has to come to my door to tell me that the box is overflowing.

Mail is always the same. Bills, ads, bills, more ads. Every once in a while I'll get a wedding or baby shower invitation, but since almost everyone I know is already married and on baby #4 or #5, those heavily embossed envelopes are few and far between.

But for the last week I have been diligently stalking the mail truck (it's actually taken a lot of effort and window peeping as I have never paid attention to when it arrives before). Today, the package I've been awaiting finally arrived.

Disneyland here I come.

And by "I" I'm serious, it's just ME!!!!!

Well, and my beautiful and wonderful sister Fancy, but still, I am selfishly taking a 5 day trip- away from my husband and kids and piano lessons and life in general- to Disneyland.

I know it is insane to go to Disneyland in the middle of July, but without the pressure of whining, tired children I think I could stand in line for hours and enjoy the quiet time in my brain. (Yes, I really just said that. Quiet time at Disney. Can you tell how badly I need to get away??)

I will miss The King while I'm gone, and not just for his uncanny sense of directions and exceptional navigation skills (btw..he wouldn't let me rent a car because he's convinced that I'd get lost in the middle of LA and get carjacked by a gang member then sold into slavery in Mexico. Sadly, I can't disagree. But I'm pretty sure he's giving me more credit than I deserve- I'd get lost just trying to find my way out of the airport). The King is a blast to travel with, and he makes sure I get out of bed early so that I don't waste all my vacation time sleeping in. But this is a chick trip, so we'll have to do Disney sans kids another time.

So what does "girls gone wild" constitute for two Mormon chicks going to Disneyland by themselves??? Well, drinking is out so we'll have to pass up the "wild" night life available at the Disney Resort. Pill popping will definitely be happening, but as it is Dramamine I don't think it counts as illicit behavior. Despite taking the maximum dosage each day, we'll still probably get so motion sick that we'll take turns vomiting into garbage cans. Exhibitionist behavior???? I'm pretty sure there will be no flashing or streaking, but my sister IS kind of wild and crazy, and it IS the happiest place on earth (just kidding dad, we'll behave ourselves. Besides, it's only your sons that have ever had problems keeping their clothes on).

If you can't tell, I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. July can't get here fast enough. If you see me wearing the Mouse Ears button that came in the package today, don't mock me- well, at least to my face. Just remember that I'm not totally insane, just a thirty-something housewife who really, really, really needs a weekend away.
