Coming home from the beach has to one the most depressing
things. EVER. Knowing you have to get back to reality, go back to work, and the
truth that having your first drink at 10am is boarder line alcoholism. The only
thing that makes the return ok is getting to pick up Fritz!
FYI: The beach house WAS dog friendly, but Fritz exceeded
the weight limit. However, let me give you a quick recap of the vacay the
pooches that were invited had:
1. The Swimmer (or not): My aunt and
uncle’s dog fell into the pool 10 minutes after we arrived, and with NO doggie
paddle move whatsoever. She just sunk straight to the bottom. My stepmom had to
jump in with all of her clothes on and save her…
2. The Runaway: My parents’ dog snuck out of the gate while we
were all swimming. After we all jumped out of the pool looking for her, my dad
ran out of the gate and saw her prancing down Scenic Hwy 98…
3. The PeePee Bandit: When we first
got there we rolled up all of the rugs so none of the pups could pee on them.
The night before we left we put them all back down; well, my sisters dog must
be smarter than we realized, because two seconds later she was peeing under the
dinning room table…
So basically – despite Fritz’s weight – he probably would
have been the best behaved.
Besides the dog drama, the trip was fabulous and wonderfully
relaxing. I got to spend time with these rugrats:
I also got to spend time with my sister, which I love. She
lives in Mississippi, so our bonding time is limited. We do chitchat at least
once a day, via text, but she is one of my favorite parts of vacation!
We also got to see a couple across the street bonding; if
“crazy bitch” and “dumb drunk” and “your children will never talk to you after
this”, is considered bonding. It was really one of the most highlighting points
of the trip. I love a good dramatic fight, in person, when no one I know is
involved. It’s always super classy.
Besides all the love and hate, there was shopping! What is
it about vacation that makes you think you are one of the Kardashians? My
favorite purchase though was my two new t-shirts! I know you’re thinking
t-shirts? Seriously? This bitch is no Kardashian… BUT I stumbled upon this
brand called Southern Point Co.
This guy who graduated from Alabama created the brand, and
it is designed after his GSP!! Check out the link – they have online shopping.
It won’t disappoint!
Andd, for my birthday, my sister signed me up to Birch Box.
It’s this fabulous company that sends you samples and whatnot each month of
different skincare, makeup, and other odd and ends. My roomie has been getting
it for months. I am always jealous of her packages; so I was super excited
about this gift. Check out Mal’s Blog to see all the deats about Birch Box and
more stories of a makeup junkie.
On the total flipside... Hurricane Issac is headed for the
Gulf. Is it totally wrong of me that a tiny part of me hopes heavy rain heads
our way so I can escape a few more days of work??
To answer your last question, no. I love a good MILD hurricane but if I get stuck at the hospital and have to sleep there, I will blame you. Ps. I wish I could have seen Nay jumping in to save that dog! Haha the mental image is cracking me up at 430am :)
