back to the routine

I am having a really hard time focusing today.  The 5 days I had off last week were just enough to make me not want to come back to work.  I have stuff piled up but can't seem to find it in myself to care yet.  I really wanted to call in disinterested to work this morning.

Had a very laid back and, well, lazy vacation.  Spent most of it reading the three Gillian Flynn books.  Very dark and strangely written books.  I didn't work out one time last week, unless you count the day we went to the water park.  It felt good to just not have to be anywhere.

Dennis' brother and his wife and kid (the royal family) came to town, as I am sure I told you earlier.  The royal SIL is batshit crazy and a raging alcoholic so it is always good times when she is around I say in a sarcastic tone.  The marriage is on it's last leg so she did a short stint in rehab.  Apparently it didn't take because she was fired from her job the week before they left for being drunk on the job and sending some really horrible text messages to her boss.  Anyway, while she was down here she was on her best drug induced behavior (judging from her slack jaw and distant stare).  We don't really speak anyway but this time we literally didn't say two words to each other.  MIL hid all the alcohol from her, which was kind of awkward.  Anyway, the visit went without incident.  However, I guess she went over the edge when they got home and flipped her shit.  They took her to the emergency room but they said there was nothing they could do, they would have to take her to a mental facility.  She refused to sign herself in so BIL kicked her out of the house and contacted his attorney to start divorce proceedings.  There are so many things about this relationship that I can't even begin to tell you how effed up it was.  This should have happened years ago.  They for sure put the fun in dysfunctional. 

Anyway, Dennis was getting text messages all weekend about that ordeal.  It makes us feel so happy to be a "normal" couple.  Wowza.

Did I tell you guys I am having boudoir pictures done next Saturday?  I went shopping for something to wear for that and I found a very sexy underwear outfit that will require me to buy stockings.  Not sure if I feel comfortable getting my picture taken in it but it is very sexy.  I need to find some red stiletto heals to borrow to go with it.  I will take a picture of it and let you guys see it.  I also bought a pair of girl boxers and a plain white tank top, which is much more my speed.  I am excited, nervous, and a little scared of this photo shoot!!

And in weight news, my scale went from 113.8 to 117.8 overnight, which I thought was weird.  It has shown 117.8 all weekend no matter what time of day it was.  So I changed the batteries.  116.2.  I think I may have worn these poor guys out.

OK, one more crazy story from the weekend and I really have to get to work.  We went to get sno cones a few days ago.  In the trash can by the sno cone hut was a dozen roses complete with the vase.  The note was gone, I did look.  You could tell the flowers were fresh but had been in the sun because they were starting to look very heat stressed.  Dennis and I joked about taking them out of the trash but we didn't, we were just joking.  Some couple came up behind us to order and they appeared to be drunk off their ass.  We sat on the back of my car and ate our sno cones and the drunk lady walked over, grabbed the roses out of the trash and put them in her car.  These flowers have some stories to tell!!

OK, really going to work now.

  2. I still have 3 weeks left before I have to go back to work, but I am already dreading it. It's not the work that I mind...it's getting up early that I hate.

    I bet that story behind those roses is an interesting one!
