Hi Beyond Blue readers,
I am on vacation today. Actually, I have been this whole week, but I was afraid that you would have abandonment issues (and find another blog that you like better) if nothing new appeared on Beyond Bluefor five days. So I wrote a week’s worth of blog posts in advance (yes, slightly OCDish).
So dependening on where my sisters, who I’m visiting, are in their menstrual cycles, this week shall be either relaxing or stressful.

Here are my goals (can’t do anything…even vacation…without a nice set of goals!)
1. To not start drinking again.
2. To not start smoking again.
3. To gain no more than five pounds (My sister is a gourmet chef–with a diploma from the Culinary Institute of America to prove it, and she’s pregnant, which means she’ll be eating even more than normal, which is a lot).
4. To not lose it–my temper and therefore my luggage–as we pass through security at the airport, to utter no more than three profanities.
5. To stay married.
