Back to the grind

Well after 10 days off, it was back to work yesterday. And of course I was back in hema and it was a freaking busy day, we didn't finish the 1400 drop off of diffs until 1700. Eesh. But there are some perks to being back at work.

Vacation was great. Over the weekend Karen, Kelly and I went to Great Wolf Lodge and just acted like kids again. We got upgraded to a jacuzzi suite and took full advantage of that with plenty of alcohol. We played in the water park and shopped. We got pedicures. Karen and Kelly went at separate times and both picked out the same color for their toes. It was all good times.

Wednesday night I decided to check out a "condo" that I saw advertised, and well, if something looks too good to be true, it is.


Said condo was advertised as 2 beds, which I interpreted as 2 bedrooms. Oh how wrong I was. When I think of a condo for rent, I think of a nice duplex type thing or townhouse like thing with a kitchen, separate dining area, a nice living area and a bedroom and bathroom. That's my definition of a condo. This one should have been called a hovel. It reminded me of one of those cheap "rent by the hour" hotels that you see in movies.

It was 2 rooms. The 2 beds really meant exactly that, 2 beds. A murphy bed that pulled out of the wall and a sleeper sofa. The stove didn't work so to make up for it, there were 2 microwaves and a George Foreman grill. The refrigerator was smaller than the one I had at college. Oh, and this entire "condo" was smaller then my bedroom and closet combined and they wanted $395/month for it.

Yeah right.

Monday night I went and played bingo with my mom and grandma. Didn't win anything but it was fun listening to all those little old ladies swear. They sure take their bingo seriously.

Sunday was shopping day with mom, grandma and Sara down in Lansing. We pushed Ella around all day in her stroller and grandma was more than content to just push the stroller around and speak gibberish to Ella.

And the rest of the time I just spent on my lazy butt. Was a nice restful vacation
