an 'exotic' getaway
Since I won't have any time tomorrow, I decided to update my recipe of the week tonight with something I actually made tonight - Greek pasta salad! The only thing I'd recommend changing in that recipe are sun-dried tomatoes to substitute for the tomatoes ... they are heavenly.
The reason for making the Greek pasta salad? My 'exotic' getaway tomorrow with The Boy. For his birthday this weekend, I'm taking him to an amusement park complete with whales and dolphins ... which is quite exotic, or at least foreign to our native Canada. So I decided to add a picnic into that mix with Greek pasta salad, rolled sandwiches, and ... pizza. Err, that's Italian and exotic-ish?
What's your version of a getaway look like?
I'm really excited, because after having spent the last few days cooped up inside, only leaving to go to school or grocery shopping, I've found it's nice to have a getaway. And getaway's can come in all kinds of forms: a bubble bath, cuddling on the couch while watching TV with a loved one, having a picnic in the park, taking a road trip, or a 'real' getaway involving leaving on a jet plane and
While I'd love for my getaway to consist of lying in a boat at the edge of a beach, enjoying the sunshine and feeling a tropical breeze, I suppose: i) being at an amusement park with rollercoasters and such; ii) being with The Boy; and iii) having a (hopefully) delicious picnic is good enough for me!
By the way, thank you all SO much for your advice about make-up. I didn't end up going to the mall this weekend but plan on going next week with lots of knowledge in mind about the best Mac products, and be willing to try out something new!

@ steph: Ah sorry, I should've left the rules here! Basically you just confess 10 little things that people may not know about you, no matter how embarrassing it is and then you tag others to do it as well!
