I cannot concentrate on ANYTHING, which means my daily commute is both a) dangerous to other drivers and b) exhilarating as hell. So many things going ON! How could I possibly think about ONE AT A TIME!? I'm like a dog in that if you place a piece of bacon on the floor by the chair, and then you place a piece of bacon on the floor by the couch, and then you balance a piece of bacon on the tip of my snout, I will spend the next hour trembling with anticipation, eyes darting between bacon A, B and C, until someone makes a sudden movement and loses a finger.
This week, Bacon A is the two year anniversary for Gray & I. It's not our wedding anniversary, mind you, it's just the anniversary of the day we decided to stop sleeping around. We're walking to our favorite local bar & grill for their summer block party: live music, $2 tacos, cheap beer, patio seating, stumbling home for drunken chutes & ladders - you know, the usual anniversary stuff. It will be magical.
Bacon B is that I'm taking Thursday and Friday off from work. Don't panic, NOBODY DIED. I simply decided that I wanted a little mental health day, and then on Thursday night, Gray & I, my Jill & her hubby are driving to Wisconsin for ROCK THE DOCK IV (insert spring break screaming and boobie flashing: here)!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Rock the Dock, it's our annual couples weekend on the lake. For those of you who ARE familiar with Rock the Dock, we're still really sorry about the mess and/or promise not to smoke your ferns and/or shave your dog again this year.
Last year, on our first morning of Rock the Dock, I took a pregnancy test. It was the happiest day of my life, and Gray's. Needless to say, things didn't work out so well with that, but while it lasted, I had the glow of all pregnancy glows. Also needless to say, I was the only sober person that weekend. I am looking forward to making up for lost time this year, so if I come back with a tattoo of big bird on my foot? Don't be alarmed. It just means someone brought tequila.
Bacon C? DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME EXPLAIN ROCK THE DOCK?! It's a whole damn slab of pork, all wrapped up into one lake-y ball of contentedness and embarrassment.

ReplyDeleteAll things in life can be related back to bacon.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time. I love lake getaways. And booze. And sex. And etc.
ReplyDeleteBTW- Bobbie has conned me into joining her in October to Mall of America. Be prepared for us to attack.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome time! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You and your Jill already rock - so rocking the dock should be a piece of cake!
ReplyDeleteHave a blast!
*LOVE YOU* So I guess you're drinking booze this time?
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous right now. I love bacon.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm jealous you're going away! It looks like a lot of fun. I remember fun.....
:)
Ew, bacon. Lettered, no less.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a dock to rock. Have fun!
I so wish you wouldn't have posted these pics. Seriously. I was holding out with the excitement. Only a little burst here and there. How in the hell do you expect me to get any damn thing done from now until Thursday afternoon?? I can smell the lake and hear the loons already. Watch out Wisconsin. Here we come!
ReplyDeleteIf you come home with a tattoo of Big Bird on your foot, Elliot will follow you around until the day you (or she) die chanting "Biiii bud!". He's her favorite.
ReplyDeleteRock the dock looks fucking awesome, I want in.
Sounds like a fantastic time!! Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I hope that you have a great time! You deserve it!
