I broke the law, but it was worth it!

You're shocked that a straight-laced girl like me would break the law right? Even a silly law like 'no using a cell phone while driving'...well, I did it. But I swear it was worth it. Here's the scenario:

Monday. Lunch time. Leave work. Go shopping.
Put purse on front seat. Blackberry goes in purse. Other cell goes in purse.
Shop.
Head back to work. Blackberry rings. Still driving. Answer Blackberry. Recognize sister's number.
"This better be important, 'cause I'm breaking the law right now."
Sister: "It is if you want to go to Maui!"
Briefly consider that something terrible has happened to your father who's in Maui.
Realize that what is being proposed is going to Maui! On your father's dime! Like, now!
Act calm.
Tell sister you will check your work schedule when you get back to office. (Checking the calendar feature on the Blackberry while driving is definitely a bad idea.)
Schedule is good.

Tuesday. Boss gets back from Mexico.
Holidays get approved.
Flights get booked.
Tanning begins! (Thanks Tera and the MasterSun 360 at Tropicana Tan!)

Wednesday. Passports come out of security box.
Bathing suit shopping commences at Wal-Mart.
Find two $3 bathing suits! (Love January clearance on summer items!)
Thursday. Start rubbing it in at work that you get to go to Hawaii. Wait, that was happening since Monday....
Husband asks, "Have you left yet?"
Get a painful, but necessary, waxing job.
Tell husband that no, he can't see the waxing job.
Do more laundry.

The End
