Yep, that’s right!  Starting tonight, Ben and Aubree Doohan will flee the average life for the extravagant.  Well, ok:  we’re staying in a hotel tonight because we’re going to run the Akron Half Marathon tomorrow at 7 AM, and we’re staying in the AK- Rowdy on Saturday night again because, well, who wants to be accountable for driving after all that running?  So, there will most likely be one dinner date and one pizza delivery date.  It’s been over a year since I’ve had cable, and I’ve already checked tvguide.com for tomorrow night’s listings!

We’ll be back in town for church on Sunday, and we’re going to try to go to our indoor soccer team’s game to just. watch.  I told them I’d be willing to show up and stand on the field to give another girl teammate a break if she needed to catch her breath (girl subs are usually low).  We’ll see how that goes!

Regardless, this mini-getaway is timed perfectly.  I’ve had 4 interviews in the past 2 weeks and 2 days of temp work to boot.  Sure, that equals out to one thing just over every other day, but it’s been a big shift for us— in our schedules, in my stress levels, in my needing-to-prep-for-interviews-and-I-forgot-to-do-laundrying.  I think I might take some blow money and go get a fluffy robe this afternoon!
