Slightly Off-Balance

My husband left today for a guys’ house boating trip.  I was thinking tonight about the stark difference between his boys’ weekend and a girls’ weekend with my friends.  Allow me to compare:  

• His trip:  3 days of house boating
• My trip:  A weekend in Napa

• His luggage: a backpack and toothbrush
• My luggage:  Rollerboard, large tote bag, make-up case and purse

• His shoes: Flip flops
• My shoes: 2 pairs of flip-flops, running shoes, 2 pairs of wedges and  heels

• His activities: Skiing, wakeboarding, drinking
• My activities: Wine tasting, spa treatments, pool time, shopping, eating (yes for us, it qualifies as an activity) and drinking

• His time spent getting ready: 45 seconds to brush his teeth (which is optional)
• My time spent getting ready: 90 minutes if I hurry

• His conversations: boats, trucks, work
• My conversations: CENSORED

• His bedtime: 11:00 pm
• My bedtime: 2:00 am

• His cost: $150
• My cost: More than $150… no exact figures if I hope to do it again someday!

I hope he is having a wonderful time and knows that I am planning a girls trip as I write this!
