I've realized that I'm a bad relaxer. I'm constantly wanting to check things off my to-do list, or talk about what else needs to be accomplished. I hate having a list of "undone" items while relaxing. In contrast, DH can have all the things in the world to accomplish and still decide to take a whole day to do nothing. Yup, nothing. This drives me crazy for two reasons--first, because he could be helping with my to-do list (like house cleaning). Second and probably more importantly, because no matter how hard I try, I really can't seem to do the same.

For Columbus Day weekend, I took a quick trip to New Hampshire to visit a great friend--and visit my horse (!), who lives with her in New Hampshire.  I flew into Boston and out of Manchester, New Hampshire, where the metal detectors decided to eat me alive. Seriously, what is with tiny airports having the most sensitive metal detectors and the big airports have the ones that I can waltz through with keys in my pocket? I don't get it.
