Carleen Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Hi friends, I find myself in need of another hall pass for Wed. August 23rd through Sun. the 27th. My family started up a small trucking company 2 years ago as a joint venture with my two sisters and their spouses, my mom and Keith and I. Well, this week I am required to attend a conference on DOT and Haz Mat regulations. Doesn't that sound like fun? The up side of it is that it is being held in St. Thomas Virgin Islands. Shucks, an all expenses paid trip to the Virgin Islands, I guess I can't complain too much. I may be in boring seminars all day, but at least the evenings will be mine and in beautiful sandy settings. I just hope that I can maintain somewhat. I know it will be hard for me to be in such a romantic place without my Keith. I've never been anywhere without him, I'm sure I will have my sad moments. I just hope somewhere in that time I can find some relaxation and peace too. Maybe, just maybe if God is merciful, I can even have 5 minutes of fun. So, I will miss you all very much, but I am off to swim in the ocean, burn my white white skin, and get sand in my crack Quote
Ann Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Carleen, I am so glad you are getting this opportunity. Here's hoping that you are able to enjoy that sand!!! Quote
RandyW Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Make sure you do not drink too many of those tropical drinks with the Paper umbrellas. Oh wait if you save the umbrellas you won't get sunburned. Have a blast see ya whenya get back Quote
EastCoastLadi Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Carleen, Go and don't work/study too hard!!! You definitely deserve to get away and what a great place to get away to!!!! Have a safe and happy trip!!! Grace Quote
Don Wood Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Tough assignment, but somebody has to do it, right, Carleen? Quote
joanie55 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Wow Carleen, Sounds good to me. I really do hope you enjoy. You certainly can use a little sun & surf. And fun too. Joan Quote
Kasey Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Carleen, I am wishing for you MANY more minutes than 5 of fun while you are away. May your heart feel light and airy..........if just for a brief moment in time. Love, Kasey Quote
carolhg Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Carleen, Go and enjoy! I am so very happy for you that you have this opportunity. Quote
Ry Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Take the paper umbrella pass and have a good time. Quote
teresag Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Carleen, I wish you LOTS of relaxation and peace. And I know that God is merciful; please let yourself let go and forget all you have endured for a while. I know that Keith would want you to have fun! P.S. Sunscreen, and more sunscreen. Quote
mitzu Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Sometimes being alone with the water and the sand is what you need. Keith's spirit is close wherever you go. Have a safe trip and more than 5 minutes of fun. Quote
Maryanne Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Gp for it and have a nice time. You really need the break. Maryanne Quote

shineladysue Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Carleen, This just may be just what the doctor ordered.... Here's to "sand in your crack"... Love, Sue Quote
Littlegirl Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Maybe I need to get into the trucking business! I'm so glad you have been given this opportunity to have some fun and relax (and learn a little too)! Enjoy your getaway and don't forget the sunscreen! Karen Quote
