David and I both dreamed of Christmas last night.

He thought it was because it was so hot, we both were unconsciously wishing for the cold. I thought it was because our summer holiday is almost over and we are already unconsciously pining for the next one.

Regardless, it was strange to dream about the same thing. Made me wonder what kind of conversations our two brains have while we're sleeping. Silly ones, I imagine. Racy ones, I have no doubt.

David kissed me thoroughly this morning on his way to work, because I am off again. This time I am taking my two girls and their two dolls and my two sewing machines and heading to Utah for our annual "Kids Quilt Retreat."

I got my laundry done just in time. And managed to scrub my kitchen floor and clean out the fridge, (keeping the health department at bay, see?) just in time to leave again.

The last adventure of summer.

I am tired of roadtripping. Last night David and I went for a Jamba juice alone. I was grumpy about it. Which confused him. And me too, frankly. Sigh. But the thought of more gas-station restrooms, and views from my car window, and beds that aren't mine had me a bit out of sorts.

David reminded me of why I was going.

And I thought, "Oh, yeah."

Sometimes it is very helpful to be married to someone who is very nearly always right.
