Hiatus

Hiatus: 2. an interruption in time or continuity

I am leaving tomorrow for my cousin's bachelorette weekend, and won't be posting until I get back. I love being other places but I generally don't like traveling. At least the flight from here to there is fairly easy, and I don't have a layover. Sometimes I wish I could take a long hiatus from "real life."

I was talking to a friend about Sleeping Beauty the other day, and explaining why it's one of my favorite Disney movies. First, I think she's the prettiest Disney Princess. Second, sometimes, I think it would be great to take a really long nap and wake up to find that everything has been fixed. Not all the time with every problem, but just a restful hiatus from...everything. I realize this might not be a particularly "feminist" position (though what does feminism really mean? I have no idea), but I also don't think it's a "weak little woman" idea. It's a tired person's idea.

So now I get a long weekend to hang out with a bunch of great women in a huge house we are renting for the occasion, withe no deadlines or schedules. A mini-hiatus, and a good start.
