I need to get away.
No, not for any great length of time, but a weekend away would be nice. My church is in the midst of planning its annual womens retreat. It will be in April and it's for a whole weekend up in the mountains of North Carolina. This year the topic of the retreat doesn't thrill me and basically, I'll be paying close to $100 for the weekend to be in a place that's outdated and in desperate need of cleaning and refreshing to listen to several talks on a topic that I'm not interested in!
Or there's plan B...
I am looking to get away with a few friends for a weekend of just girl time - no structured schedule, no cafeteria food, just a getaway.
It seems a bit selfish and I am sure that my church friends are going to be like "WHAT??? Why would you NOT want to go on the retreat?" You know, I am not a retreat person. I've told everyone that. I went last year to give it a try and while it was fun, it was fun because the topic was fun. It was on sex. This year? Not so much. It's on "Emotions". Yes, I have them. Enough said.
So I need to really think and pray on this because I need a little break and need to step away from everyday life for a little bit but I'm not sure which environment is going to do that for me in the best way.
Decisions, decisions...

I like your idea... make arrangements with your girlfriends to getaway. Even if it's just one night that can be nice. Good luck!!!
I think I would go with the girlfriends. Sounds like fun.
Yep, the weekend with the girl friends would be a lot better than a religious outing with people telling you how bad they were and now they are better. I'm cynical! LOL
I vote for a girlfriends getaway! If you're not excited about the church retreat it really won't be much of a retreat!
Sometimes a good laugh with friends does more for you than a week's worth of sermons. I'd go with the gals and ditch the church gang. At least you can bring booze!
