It sure was great to get away. When you're not at your own home, you can really relax. There's no bills to pay, calls to return, bathrooms to clean, clothes to wash. You have the opportunity to just lay around. That's what I did this weekend, along with great company. If my computer was up to snuff, I'd post some pictures. I should be able to do that in a day or two. I drove up to Deep Creek Lake, which is in the far north western part of MD, about a 3 hour drive. Up in the mountains. I was able to listen to a lot of my audiobook, Duma Key, by Steven King. I loved the drive through the snow covered mountains and valleys. There were five of us at the condo: the owners of my salon (their condo), a co-worker (and friend) and her husband, and me. Unfortunately for them, it was not a good skiing weekend. It rained on Friday night, and although the trails were groomed, it wasn't the best conditions so they didn't ski but a little on Friday. We spent our days and nights in sweats, reading, watching TV, cooking and eating. They (not me) took naps. We went into a little town on Sunday morning to eat at a luncheonette, and walk around. That was our big outing. It was a quiet, relaxing and lazy weekend. It was perfect.

I'm off to read blogs now. There's no way I'll be able to catch up and comment after being away for 3 days, but I can't just click on 'mark all as read' on Google Reader. So I'm probably just going to browse. I missed you all. I'll be back to my normal routines, and hopefully faster computer, soon. Later!
