Time to go pick up more pictures!
Yes, MORE. We dropped off 5 rolls of film the other day. I wanna see what else we got! Probably a lot of the same things that we already got with the digital -- I was wielding those cameras constantly. But you know, when certain events are over, all you really have besides your memories is pictures. At least, that's true for us. That's why we spent so much goddamned money on our wedding photos!
I am exhausted right now. I know, I know, I had a grueling 3-day work week after 6 days of vacation. But getting up at or before 5 a.m. every day sucks! I am not part of the "refreshed and ready to go" after vacation club. I'm part of the "Oh God WHY do I have to work for a living?" after vacation club. I would not be averse to independent wealth. I keep waiting for Ed McMahon to show up on our doorstep, but so far -- nothing. The husband and I were talking, while we were on vacation, about how invariably a boss-type person will always ask an employee after a vacation if they're all re-charged and ready to hit the ground running. Uh, how 'bout no. And THEN, I shit you not -- the day after I go back to work -- a boss-type person that is not my boss but whom I am assisting while her assistant is out, comes to dump something off at my desk and asks if I'm "fresh."
"Uh, what?"
"Are you fresh? From your vacation?"
"Mmmm no."
"Bummer for you, I have a lot of stuff today!"
(in my head) "Hiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!"
She comes back a few minutes later and I mention that the husband and I were laughing about how boss-types always ask that stuff. I informed her that sitting on a beach and dehydrating oneself with beer for 5 days isn't really refreshing. Plus we had made the pilgrimage to, and climbed to the top of, the pyramid at Chichen Itza. I saw the light come on: "No wonder you're so tired!"
We should have taken the rest of this week off. But we'd already built in one day of rest at the end of our vacation -- I didn't want to burn up that much more of it knowing we are very likely going to Newport Beach at the end of September! That's right, another vacation. Some of my family (dad, stepmother, sister) are going to Newport Beach in the fall and they've invited us along. They have a time share through Marriott and they trade weeks with people in other places -- this time it's Newport Beach. Marriott has some nice properties -- and all we have to do is drive down there and cover our food & incidental expenses! Can't beat that. It's a practically free vacation.
We are such a sad bunch tonight. Here I am, plopped down in front of the computer, and this pretty much sums up what's going on in our house tonight:
Not exciting, I know -- but, at least I have beer and we're all home relaxing. I'm looking forward to a lazy weekend after our 6 days of excitement and 3 days of work!
Now, I gotta go get those pictures . . .
