Two Weeks to FenCon!!!!

[vdansk]

In two weeks, I am running away from home. OK, 2 weeks and 9 hours, to be precise. I am going to be gone for 3 nights, hanging out with two friends I haven't seen in about 15 years, some friends I only know from on-line, and--a last minute addition--my college roommate and her husband. I have been promised Tex Mex and Lois McMaster Bujold. With any luck, the hotel has either a hot tub or a sauna. (Of course, it's in Dallas, so for the sauna I could probably just stand outside for a bit.)

Work is going great, the latest issue of Out of the Blue (the zine for StarRise Weyr) came out on time and looking pretty, and re-reading my own stories didn't make me wince. Leah adores middle school. Joy starts town preschool next week. Life is wonderful.

I enjoy my kids immensely. I would happily trade the worst day as a parent for the best day before I became a parent. But...oh, the thought of that long weekend off makes me feel like I could fly.

*grin* This reminds me of alyse's stories from harry potter conventions, where there are apparently many women who look forward to their annual pilgrammage to superultrageek out about harry potter, in addition to gleefully abandoning their awesome children behind with their very supportive husbands. :) Apparently, getting sloshed is part of the fun, which is more-or-less the same decadence as a hot tub or sauna. :)
