V is for vacation.

Fall break is finally upon us and I could not be more excited- tomorrow I’m off to my home town! My car needed to get new tires and a tune-up, and I am scheduled to work down at the theme park tonight, so I have to hang around here today and a get a later start to my little vacation.

Really, I’m just excited about getting to lay around all day when I go home and allow my body the opportunity to recharge itself. I have been running on my body’s last reserves these last few weeks it seems.

Last night, in celebration of freedom, I decided to go out with a group of friends and “let my hair down”, if you will. We started at a costume party, and then ended up at a dance club. I was unaware that it was a costume party until about 30 minutes before we arrived, so on the way I snagged a children’s Elmo costume that very nearly choked me, but was in the end worth it for the laughs. I wish that I had had a camera with me.

After we had mingled, bounced on the trampoline, and loosened up at the costume party, we all piled in our cars and hit the dance floor.

It’s been forever since I have been dancing. This is mainly due to the fact that the local gay club closed, and they were really the only venue with a decent soundtrack. The place we went to last night is repped to having a generally good play list. I would agree with that reputation, but I could have certainly gone without the sets of poor country cover sets in between.

We all had a good time, and it felt equally good to let myself go and not have to worry about any responsibilities for those few hours.

Also, Monopoly is back at McDonald’s and this year I’m feeling lucky.
