(Not) Vacation

I got the chance to go to Tucson with Dave while he's on a business trip.  Grandma & Grandpa Hoots are taking care of the house (boys, dog, whatever else is going on!) so that I can be out here.  Dave warned me this is not going to be like vacation!  Who was he kidding??  Any time I have pretty much no responsibilities, I am on vacation!
So the "downsides" to this trip:
-Dave has to work... usually getting off later than 5 pm, but not too much different than at home
-We are hardly spending any time together alone except to sleep
-I didn't have a vehicle the first 2 days (was NOT a big deal...!)
-It rained the first 24 hours we were here, which was unusual for here and felt like we were at home

The positive things from this trip (so far):
-Our "hotel room" is a massive condo, not "our style" but definitely nice and clean!
-The sun was shining yesterday and today, most of the day
-I got to go shopping today, by myself
-I drove with the windows down because the A/C wasn't cooling me down fast enough
-I got a new purse!
-The mountains and the view are amazing- I could definitely get used to having scenery!
-There is snow on the tops of the mountains, but not down here!
-I have been able to get 2 (very minor) projects done that just haven't gotten done in, oh, forever
-Even though we've been hanging out with the other 2 Cat guys down here with us, we are together
-I'm not worrying about much of anything going on at home... just missing it a bit!

It was a Little chilly, but this lady had hat, gloves, and almost a winter coat.  It was quite hilarious!

Tomorrow we head home and we'll actually get home Saturday.  Then 2 weeks with not having a wake up time because Samuel's out of school!  (So nearly 3 weeks of it for me!  I feel like I'm cheating the something or someone somehow...!)
