How I spent my five days off work…
This is pathetic - totally freakin pathetic. I sit here on my couch, drinking home made Orange Julius smoothies, watching a Law & Order SVU Marathon on USA and toying with the idea of shaving my legs.
Yes, this vacation has been a spectacular display of laziness. I guess it wasn’t all lazy - Thursday (day one of the SDoL Vacation) was the last day of school here, so I did have to get up and take Jer to school - funny though, I wondered why I even had to bother, when the bus pulled up at 10:00 AM - a whopping two hours of school…thanks school district!
Friday was somewhat better - but it didn’t get really great until Saturday. You see, Friday night, I went to bed around nine - and when I woke up at 6:00 AM Saturday morning - I couldn’t hold my eyelids open - so I went back to sleep at 7:30 - only to wake up at around noon…just in time for my early afternoon nap - at 2.
My nap at 2 was a little shorter than my early morning nap…I got up at four and milled around the house for a bit - before finally, at 7, calling it a night and heading off to lala land.
Yes, that’s correct….I was up like 5 hours on Saturday…period.
What’s even more pathetic is that after going to bed at 7 PM last night, I still didn’t crawl out of bed until 8 AM this morning.
Yes, I know - that is some spectacular display of laziness.
Tomorrow is the very last day of my vacation and I plan on being just as lazy then as I am now. Except I plan on adding some Rolo’s to the mix. I love me some Rolo’s.
Blog Etiquette - I am really trying to be nice!
As I said, I am really trying to be nice. Trying not to judge. Trying to keep in mind that not everyone is like me…I really am. But I am faced with a pretty interesting situation. I read a lot of blogs - and on occasion, I’ll click on a link in someone’s blog role (or signature on a message board) and check it out. Sometimes, it’s really awesome to peek into someone else’s life and kinda see how things tick. Other times it really is kinda scary. Especially when you see something that is just…not expected.
Take, for example, the time I stumbled upon a blog by a woman who had been struggling with fertility issues for years, was doing all the treatments and trying very hard to get pregnant - yet, her blog was full of drunken debauchery and stories about how she’d gotten ’so drunk’ before her FET. Seems a little self destructive, if you ask me.
Anyway, so today, I found another blog - I’d looked at it before, it had a few pictures on it and the pictures…well…they scared me. But I figured, it was a ‘one time thing’ and surely, if I came back at another time and looked at the pictures, they’d be different…the thing that had scared me would be taken care of.
I was wrong.
This woman lives in squaller. Pure filth. Feces on the ground in one photo (I assume animal) and even one picture of her child (adopted) eating pet food out of a bowl on the floor. The child is generally filthy, wearing clothes that are far to big for her (and a little to old for her) and her hair…the poor child.
Now, if this were one or two pictures of ten, I’d say no big deal. But it’s not. Even the pictures that don’t show the filthy disgusting house or the uncared for child, show group of scantly clad (in one, breast exposed) adults, drinking beer/whatever, with kids in the background.
Now, I’m not a prude. I think it’s ok to have a drink or two with the kids around…but beyond that, I don’t think it’s ok. Having a glass of wine with dinner is way different than having a Kegger with the kids in tow.
So, the question is, blog etiquette - what do I do? Ignore it? Post a message? Do some web-sleuthing and hot line her to her state?
This poor little girl…
Why I am glad today is my Friday
I don’t know. I mean, I guess it’d be cool to have FIVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OFF if I was actually doing something fun, but I’m not. I’d love to be sunning on the beaches in Mexico, like someone I know…*cough* but - I’m not. Instead, I will be here, doing laundry, cleaning, blogging (maybe) and cleaning up the side yard (we have this awful tree!).
But, I am glad it’s my Friday, because it means I don’t have to get up and go to work tomorrow or Friday. I needed a short break - to regroup if nothing else.
I am also starting a new ‘project’ with my brother, Brad. He’s got a consulting firm that needs some help, so I’ll be able to work on that some. I am really excited about that opportunity.
Really, there isn’t much going on in my world. A friend, Becky, got engaged. YaY! My new PC is on it’s way here, which is a good thing. My friend Crick just told me a really awful joke, I forwarded it to my family - I know they’ll enjoy it.
Beyond that, nothing to report. So I am going to bed.
