Every holiday vacation I am filled with good intentions. I look forward to the days off for weeks and I plan every day meticulously. This particular vacation, I planned on working out, eating healthy, and being productive with my time off to get ready for the wedding. I mapped out a work out schedule and planned fun activities (okay, drinking) to see all my friends in town.

Then the actual vacation started and I remembered that my name is Kate Lidgett and I like Mexican food.

All I have done all week is eat, watch movies, and dress my dogs up in Christmas sweaters to laugh at them. It happens every time. Instead of seeing all my friends, I ended up seeing Jordan 50 times, and unfortunately, my “tummy hurt” so I couldn’t workout. My planned vacation of sweat and tears turned into a vacation of joy and laughter.

What a waste.
