call for crazy measures.
Last night, I had the idea to plan a 40-mile walk out to an isolated restaurant/b&b and back. The restaurant: awesome food and great wine. The walk: down gravel roads through national forest. My guy loved the notion, so we're going to do it in about two-three weeks. This is about the best we can manage, vacation-wise due to finances and work demands. But a three-day weekend involving good food, wine, and a good, long walk sounds perfect.
We're also going to finally start redoing our bathrooms (which are firmly lodged in the 1970s) and install a new floor to replace the nasty-ass carpet that was in our kitchen.
Yes, kitchen carpet. Can you believe we've endured it two years already?
I continue to feel much better, though I'm still bitter and angry at the stupid half of the world.

40 miles is a hike, not a walk, even on easy even terrain. You will deserve that good meal at the end of the day. Is this nearby? B/c it really does sound like a lovely weekend get-away.
eiew kitchen capret! I don't know how you have managed! you must vacumm everyday!
the wakl to the resturant sounds fun! great idea!
Sounds like a perfect walk for you and hubby. Perhaps this will give you the time to breathe and relax for a bit.
And it's a good thing to have a project like remodeling to keep you busy, too.
Hugs!
My hat is off to you for even considering a 40 mile walk anywhere!! Nothing I would ever attempt, but sounds like you will enjoy it! Go for it!!
We are just beginning a bathroom reno ourselves (eek). Dh's stepbrother is doing the work for us. We were just at Home Depot picking out a new tub & tiles this afternoon. Good luck!!
i've seen carpet in bathrooms, but never in a kitchen! that's pretty narsty!
i think the walk to the restaurant sounds like so much fun! i'm envious!
Kitchen carpet? You sure know how to make a girl feel better about her ugly vinyl!
And a 40 mile walk? Sweet mayhem, are you feeling ok? You meant four right? Please?
Don't you just love the old time styles in homes. My house still has it's original 1955 kitchen counters and the tub, toilet and sink are robins egg blue.
Hope the walk and 3 day weekend are great.
What a grand idea, and love that your man thinks so too. I think it's just what you need. It sounds like improving your environment around you is also a cleansing activity that will move you forward emotionally. And besides, the idea of carpet in the kitchen is beyond skeevy. Look forward to hearing your decorating and planning ideas. I'm so glad you are feeling better, but realize it will take time to heal all the bitterness.
