    @SarahMC: Heaven forbid Michelle be comfortable on a day off! Her kneecaps are scandalous! The very idea!

    There isn't a thing wrong with a pair of shorts. No one is going to drop dead from exposure to First Lady knees.

    @TealCuttlefish: I suspect there's some sarcasm there.

    Do I need to add "is sarcastic" to my username too?

    Everyone looks fantastic (as per usual), but I am loving the dress on the woman to the right of the First Lady.

    Yeah, so, I live in Florida, like ten minutes away from the best beaches in the eastern U.S. and ten minutes away from the cutest, funkiest little downtown no one knows about. Other people take their actual vacations here. So hell, yeah, I like to staycation.

    Just about every "vacation" my family ever took was a staycation; i.e., we either got invaded by relatives or went to their houses to sit around and do nothing. Four years ago, I went to Maui and saw the light. From now on, I intend to travel if I have leisure time.


    Now I just need the leisure time.

    I plan to spend a crapload when I take a staycation here in Dallas (i.e. when I have a job). I plan to spend a weekend in a swanky hotel, eat at places I've never been, go to the Spa at the Crescent and buy myself something pretty at Neiman's. It's going to be GLORIOUS.

    Whatever I call it and wherever I spend it, every minute of my life that's not spent at work is a rarity and a blessing. Even the time I spend physically at work, but not working, is to be treasured. I call that the "Jezebelcation." It's the only -cation I'm likely to get for the forseeable future, and I plan to make the most of it. Hellz yeah!

    I did NOT travel to family this past Christmas and it was one of the better, stress-free holidays I've had. No snark, no exhaustion, no crushed expectations of warm fuzzies and I do believe the other members of the family might just have considered the unfairness of expecting the singleton to always do the toing and froing.

    During grad school my husband and I would take little mini-vacations once in a while. They were always pretty fun. Instead of hanging around Fort Collins CO, where we lived, we'd go to Boulder or Denver or Breckenridge for the day and do something touristy (Rockies game, Celestial Seasonings tea factory tour, whatever) then get a nice meal. Much cheaper than a real vacation, but they really were fun and memorable days, and no packing.

    A few times a year, I grant myself a whole weekend at home, purely relaxing, leaving the house only for a grocery run. The time fills up nicely with movies I've been meaning to watch, books I've been meaning to read and dishes I've been meaning to cook. I always feel very recharged the Monday after. That said, I think I'd get very itchy to do more after about day three.


    A friend of mine recently had a two-week staycation she loved, but that was less a holiday and more a trial run for her taking a sabbatical from work.

    Our worst staycation ever was sort of an accident. My family used to go camping in NC when I was younger, and our pop-up camper broke the day we were supposed to leave. We ended up spending all our vacation money on getting it repaired, and we didn't go anywhere. So that kinda sucked.

    @wedropscience: Yeah, I had 30 Rock + vodka + a new vibrator for spring break a few years ago. It wasn't exactly the British Museum, but it was pretty good.

    If I went to stay with my parents, I would end up tailing lambs. That is not holiday material.
