Sweatshops are totally underrated.

So, I gotta say that so far this summer has been da bomb. Exploiting my family and turning them into sweatshop workers paid off big time and the two weeks spent at the cabin were fabulous. Mother Nature was being a total fucking bitch and didn’t see fit to provide us with the best weather of all time, but we had enough warm and sunny days to get in some swimming, boating and general laziness, which was pretty much my entire agenda.



Yes, that's me. In a bathingsuit on the internet. That's as close as I'm getting and the imagine gets super grainy when you try and zoom in so don't even bother. But...doesn’t that look like a good time? It was. Doing sweet fuck all for two weeks was all I thought it would be and more. Here are a few shots of the cabin –



Nice, huh? See why I was willing to whore out my husband and children? Lakefront people!! Lakefront!!!

And, when the weather wasn’t the greatest we played board games. Just so you know, internet, you are reading the literary works of the all time World Champion of Scattergories. Notorious people starting with a K? The Klu Klux Klan! THREE points right there. Crimes starting with a W? Whaling! Can you think of a crime that starts with a W in under 60 seconds?? It’s not easy. Clearly being the current Scattergories Champion of the World proves I’m a superior thinker. I’ve already put it on my resume.

So now, today….I went back to work. Back to my cold and sterile office building with my desk in the middle of the hallway. Back to the mind-numbing buzz of the florescent lights. Back to words and phrases like ‘template’ and ‘Governance Committee’ and ‘Meeting of the Board of Directors’. Back to highlighters and staplers and paperclips and that little chime that goes off constantly alerting you to the fact that there is yet another new email. Sigh. The party’s over.

Back to reality, Girl!

Is it wrong that I feel relaxed just looking at you floating in the middle of a lake? We own 1/3 of Jamie's grandparent's lake house in PA but our kids have no fear and run toward water so we can't actually take them there until they're a little older. It sucks.

Glad you had a kickass trip and I hope this can be a yearly thing.

Jenni said...

Stacy Uncorked said...

Ohhhhhhh that lake looks so awesomely relaxing! I'd totally exploit my family and turn them into sweatshop workers to spend 2 weeks there, too... ;)

It really does suck coming back to reality after a wonderful getaway like that... :)


HA! Apparently word verification thinks so, because it's evili...either that or it's giving me the evil eye, haven't figured out which yet. ;)

Way to kill the buzz I was experiencing over your vacation. I was falalalalaing along happily until the cold smack of the last paragraph! Kill me now.

P.S. Glad you had a good time.

Hey, there are no kids out there with you in the lake. Relaxation at its best.
