Same here! I just walked over to the farmer's market by my office and they had green tomatoes. Im gonna ditch work early and go make some fried green tomatoes (my absolute favorite dish).
Oh, if I could do that... Instead I'm stuck in the office because my boss and her boss are both here today. :-(
The part that REALLY sucks is that I was supposed to be on vacation this week. (Cue up Dante's ranting "I'm not even supposed to BE HERE today!" from Clerks.)
I gotta see if I can sneak out when the boss isn't watching. It's a beyooootiful day, and we don't get a lot of beautiful warm days here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
OT on the OT thread - I was watching Hawaii 5-0 the other night and I see this odd- looking actress. Weird nose, odd-shaped skinny face, weird lips who sounded exactly like Melanie Griffith. I thought "who's this chick trying to channel Melanie Griffith?" So I imdb H50 and, whoa, it IS Melanie Griffith. WTH did she do to herself?! All actresses over 25 need to get out of H'wood before it's too late.
I thought about not coming back from lunch. It's 76 degrees today in STL, and none of us know how to react or what to do with ourselves seeing as how it's...July.
No holiday for me because I live in Canuckistan. I pretty much hung up on my MiL yesterday because she was being her usual crazy so that's like taking a little vacation maybe.
^5 indeed! I pulled my son out of bed at 9 last night (he was still awake), took his movies, mattress, pillows and blanket and walked out. After chewing on my ass from the minute I got home from work (before 5), MIL was still chewing. I said "I understand you're stressed; I understand you're hot, but you've been at me for over 4 hours and I'm not listening to it anymore. You can explain to the family why we aren't here on the 4th" and walked the fuck out.

ReplyDeleteI got called in 2 hours early. Not that I'm complaining. Anything that gets me out of the house and makes me money too is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm still living with my sadly stereotypical MIL, anxiously awaiting my new place to be ready.
I have one of those too, bellaluna. We don't live together anymore though. Just across the street :(
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
Thanks TTM. Looks like tonight may be a repeat of last night (see down thread) but I hope not.

ReplyDeleteOh wait...I forgot, I'm self employed. Outta here...toodles! :-D
I'm on call for the rest of the week so my coworker told me I could take off at noon. He's the bestest.
ReplyDeleteHey, why don't you go to lunch and then come back?

ReplyDeleteWe always get to leave early the day before a holiday but they always make us feel guilty about it
