Vacation, anyone?August 9th, 2005 @ 10:20 am
The King (hubby) and I went on a 10 day vacation to Mexico in July. My younger sister, who lives in a different state, had called and left me a message the day we got back asking how our trip was. I didn’t get a chance to call her back until 2 days ago.
Time in between her voice mail and me actually calling her back. 7 days. (I was BUSY, get over it!)
The phone call started with her telling me about a two day camping trip that she and her husband had taken with my parents last week. She then moved into telling me about a 2 day trip they are taking in October for their 2nd wedding anniversary. A crappy trip to a crappy local spot (Wendover, NV-ever heard of it? Yeah, you aren’t missing anything!). After we talked about her vacations for over 20 minutes, I said to her, “so, do you want to hear about my trip to Mexico?”. She said, “that was over a week ago. I don’t give a crap anymore!”.
She was totally serious. Not in a “I’m jealous of your fabulous vacation” sort of way. Not in a “I’m just a mean bitch” sort of way. She was just stating her feelings. She’s like that, I guess. I promptly said “oh, The King just got home. I’d better go.” She said “Ok, I love you. Bye.” End of conversation.
Very odd.
I am not sure what it is about it me and my vacations.
We went to Europe two times last year. It just worked out for us to go there the first time, and then it just worked out for us to go back for a little longer later in the year. My best friend has never asked me about either trip. Ever. Not even to ask where we went, or who we visited there, or what we saw there. Nothing. The first time we went I chalked it up to her being newly pregnant and consumed with that. The second time I chalked it up to her just having a baby and being consumed with that. But the reality is, it hurt me.
Maybe I am snotty about our vacations. I don’t think I am. But I’ll work on that next time we go anywhere on vacation. I hope that’s soon.

[…] I know I’ve talked about this before, but it’s just was so bothersome to me that here I was looking through her million of pictures and she has never once asked me about any of my trips. I even mentioned how we had just been in LA a few weeks ago and she didn’t say anything about it. Not a simple, “how was the weather?” or “how did Babboo like the beach?” NOTHING. But here I was saying things like, “you guys look like you had fun at the petting zoo.” […]

[…] Every time I look at my own MySpace profile I wonder if he’s found me. What does he think about my life now? Does he wonder what I’m doing married to a brunette and living in Seattle? What does he think about my baby? Does he think I look different? Does he think I’m prettier now that I’ve gotten my teeth fixed? Does he wonder why I’ve posted so many pictures of trips I’ve taken around the world? Does he even know that I always dreamed of traveling? Does he think of me and miss me? […]
